Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

I have a seedbox with Ultra.CC. I've got Prowlarr, Sonarr and Radarr setup with IPTorrents as the indexer. It was working perfectly, however recently I've had lots of issues is connections being reset.

Here are a couple of the errors I'm seeing.

DNS is fine. I've tried putting query limits on the indexer in Prowlarr, but that hasn't helped.

I'm wondering if this is a common thing with IPTorrents? Is there anything anyone can suggest? I'll appreciate any help. Thanks.

EDIT: Forgot to mention I have FlareSolverr installed and applied to the indexer in Prowlarr.

Randomly in the middle of episodes, some if the ads just wont be deleted, will get like 3 ads in a row before its back to the show, I can ofc skip but when multitasking its a bit jarring to get ads on pirated content. Conspiracy theorist in me thinks they get paid off or avoid getting sued by keeping these ads. Just feels oddly lazy to miss some ads consistently like for amazon pharmacy when I've never seen this issue before.

Netflix users face being forced to pay the TV licence fee even if they do not watch the BBC, under plans being explored by officials.

One option for the future funding of the corporation is to make households who only use streaming services pay the annual charge, it was reported on Tuesday.

Bloomberg said the plan has been discussed by the Prime Minister’s office, as well as the Treasury and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.

Other options include allowing the BBC to advertise, imposing a specific tax on streaming services, and asking those who listen to BBC Radio to pay a fee.

On Tuesday, the DCMS said the Netflix proposal was not under “active consideration” but did not rule out that the option was on the table.

The BBC’s charter ends at the end of 2027, and Lisa Nandy, the Culture Secretary, is looking at ways to keep the corporation well funded at a time when more people are gravitating toward on-demand services such as Disney+.

Critics say the licence fee dates from a time when consumers had no choice but to watch programmes at the time of broadcast.

It currently costs households who watch live TV or use BBC iPlayer £169.50 a year, an amount that usually rises annually with inflation.

Even if they don’t watch BBC programmes, households are required to hold a TV licence to view or stream programmes live on sites including YouTube and Amazon Prime Video.

It is not, however, needed if people only watch on-demand, non-BBC content.

If the licence fee is expanded to those who only watch video-on-demand, it could risk a backlash from consumers who may argue they already pay subscriptions for the same services.

Another option under consideration includes making users of the BBC’s on-demand app pay a subscription fee rather than the licence, mirroring the business model of services like Netflix, Disney, Amazon Prime and Apple TV.

Ministers are also looking at tiering the licence fee so that lower-income households don’t pay the same rate as more affluent users.

Another option was to leave the licence fee largely as it is, with a few tweaks, but with better enforcement, a person familiar with the internal deliberations said.

A spokesman for the DCMS said that they wouldn’t comment on “speculation”, adding: “We will provide more details about charter review plans in due course.”

A government source said the process was at an early, information-gathering stage and was not being actively considered by Ms Nandy.

Preferably from 2020 onwards and without the need for a mandatory product key/Microsoft account, I've already had a lot of headaches because of these two "casualities"!

Hi, I'm looking for german SFDL/FTP or Torrent sites Thank you :)

God of war III (USA) (1.00) (BCUS98111) is not working on RPCS3. While the EU version works just fine.

(AFAIK, EU version is censored lot of scences, which I don't want)

I downloaded USA iso from Redump (myrient). I downloaded EU version from Gnarly Repacks.

I also updated the game to 1.03, still stops at cache compilation.

Can somebody help?

I can provide additional info if wanted and links if allowed.

Although a computer is better, there might be great potential for smartphones to participate in the swarm. But there seems to be some complications.

Someone did make a torrent client for iOS 16+ devices named 'iTorrent' but there is no mention of I2P.

There is this technology to replace the physical boards on the pitch by customized ones by processing the video, so I wondered if there is some filter available to block those boards altogether and replace them for a black board?

I'm sure I'm not the only one annoyed by those two-layered boards that are becoming the norm, and those ads are getting more invasive everyday.

I would be willing to go through the trouble of watching the videos with a few extra seconds of lag if that means getting rid of those ads.

I have a feeling it must exist. Some kind of search-engine that's got all the major trackers right there for you.

Not that many people use email much anymore, but as you often need an email address to sign up for other shit... anyway, I need a better option than gmail, I'm sure you can appreciate why. Email is so old school at this point that most of the time I don't even think about it anymore.

Anyway, I need some email options that aren't gmail or otherwise attached to a billionaire. I'm not really interested in non-email methods of communication, I'm specifically asking about email.

Thanks in advance.

I'm spinning up a new seedbox and wanted to know what is everyone using nowadays? I was using deluge via the thick client and rutorrent previously. Are they still king? edit: I should have also mentioned that I plan on running this server headless so I will need to be able to access it via a thin client or a web browser

I wanted to update on the situation. I posted a few days ago about a detection for malware on a software download of Affinity Photo 2. https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/35380042

After some searching, I found a repack on LRepacks. And I wanted to share something. The repack I found on LRepacks only had about 3 detections on VirusTotal, which is pretty much expected honestly.

I wanted to compare this to the downloaded file I tried from a site listed as Download93 on the megathread, I didn't mention this on the previous post because I didn't feel it was necessary.

I suspect something might be wrong with that site.

• This file got about 30 something detections flagging it as malware. I ended up not running it (thankfully). And while I have no means to try it (as VMs are not working on my pc for some reason), I highly suspect of it being malware.

• Didn't notice this when I was downloading, but the Download93 link now redirects to "4download[dot]net". Which just throws me off now that I see it.

Has someone else noticed this going on in this website? Again, I have no means right now of proving it's malware. But I wanted to see if somebody else can confirm is something is wrong with that site. So that it can be taken down from the megathread if necessary.

Meta is accused of seeding the pirated material that the company obtained from LibGen to train its AI models.

I was wondering if there are any good collection's of books available for torrent. Like maybe classics, or top 1,000 sci-fi, etc. Does that exist?

Sorry if its not the right place to post, i just dont know where else to ask. I am searching for a book Discover what you are best at. I had already looked through libgen, flibusta, z-lib. I had also went through megathread, but to my knowledge these sites are the best bets to find any book. Is there anywhere else i can look for?

Of course, I'm not in favor of this "AI slop" that we're having in this century (although I admit that it has some good legitimate uses but greed always speaks louder) but I wonder if it will suffer some kind of piracy, if it is already suffering or people simple are not interested in "pirated AI"

Anyone got a magnet link ?

There is usually one up by now but I'm coming up short now
