16 days agoThe dev shut down the github page in 2023 and later came back and re-activated it in 2024. Development is not overly active but there have been commits since then.

People still use the eMule client but nowadays the community version is the version that gets some updates
https://www.emule-project.com/home/perl/general.cgi?l=1&rm=download
https://github.com/irwir/eMule/releases/
But technically any eMule / KAD compatible client can connect to the servers and download/upload to users there e.g. Mldonkey is another client being used.
It’s been a few years since I was last active on there but back then there was still a healthy amount of users and activity, I suspect it’s still going strong.
Yup. The Tixati torrent client is also developed by the same dev team (mainly Kevin Hearn I believe).
I think that the timeline was WinMX, then Tixati, then Fopnu, then DarkMX. (Tixati / Fopnu / DarkMX are still actively developed and updated)
While I personally prefer not to use YTS releases due to their low quality, and can’t seem to find a legitimate YTS link
Anything YIFY/YTS related that exists today is clone, YIFY himself got into legal trouble and left all this stuff behind years ago. Nowadays the main active YTS site that most people use is run by the same group that stole the EZTV site.

Okay you got me thinking about this a bit, my own hardware is not DV capable so typically I just avoid media that is DV only. But for experimentation I tested a few media players on Windows
- Jellyfin
- Kodi
- MPC-BE
- MPC-HE
- MPV
- Potplayer
- VLC
Interestingly with default settings none of them will playback DV with tonemapping (no HDR, just DV only aka DV Profile 5).
I did figure out additional settings for one of the media players, MPV will do DV tonemapping if you add “–vo=gpu-next” to the command line on startup e.g.
mpv --vo=gpu-next yourmediafile.mkvNo idea on any of the other media players, there weren’t any obvious settings to enable for DV tonemapping.
Reference re: mpv https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/9506
What software are you using? Most modern software can already do HDR tonemapping so it would look normal during playback.
I think the issue for you is that you are downloading files that are DV only, no HDR fallback, and AFAIK media with DV only cannot be played back with tonemapping (hence why you are seeing it all pink/puple/green). To properly play DV media you’d need DV compatible hardware - I don’t have that type of hardware so someone else may be better able to explain those constraints. My desktop is a bit on the old side LOL.
But anyway in the future you should download media with the HDR tag or media without any DV/HDR tags.
PS - If you run your media through something like mediainfo and give us the output that should give a more accurate idea of your issue but I’m pretty sure you just happened to have downloaded a DV only file.
EDIT - On second thought some playback software seems to support DV tonemapping nowadays. It’s been a while since I tried testing that myself, seems easier just to avoid DV only media. Maybe double-check that the playback software you are using supports DV tonemapping and figure out how to enable it.
Seems all TGx domains are down right now unfortunately.
Don’t know if this is a “new” domain or something
It’s not a TGx domain, all their official ones are listed at https://proxygalaxy.me/
You’re looking at a mirror site probably displaying torrents from TPB and/or 1337x.
LibreTorrent is the standard if you’re looking for an open source client that works well. You can install from the Google Play Store but from what I’ve read it works better if you install it from elsewhere / sideload the .apk so it can better access the Android storage.
BiglyBT is also open source and available on Android (never used it myself).
There’s also FrostWire, it is open source though it tries to do a bit more than just torrents so it’s not always quite what people are looking for. I remember the main dev used to be active over on Reddit not sure if he ever made it over to the Lemmyverse.
A lot of people do like Flud, not open source or anything like that but it does have its fans.
The paid way to do this is is to buy something like Streamfab to download the stream directly from the source. Note for the most part you will be limited to 720p/1080p. Another paid software that used to be around was Redfox AnyStream but they went offline last year.
Only private trackers / scene would know about 2160p / 4K downloads and they’re not going to share publicly about their methods.
The free method is to attempt to do the video capture yourself (see earlier comments) rather than download the stream itself.
Of course for the most part tons of content has already been downloaded by others and made available via torrents, DDL, etc.
Lots of permaseeders out there, you can be one too :)
There’s no real downside as long as your ISP doesn’t limit your bandwidth.
I’m getting the “moov atom not found” error even though the file is at 100%. The whole torrent isn’t at 100% yet, but I enabled sequential downloading.
Either the .mp4 is corrupt, or you need to wait for the torrent itself to finish 100% complete.
You are downloading in sequential mode, and it sounds like these .mp4 files were generated with the moov atom at the end of the file. Which means the file is cut off at the very end (aka corrupt) or the torrent itself just never finished downloading the last pieces of that .mp4 file.
At least that’s how I’m understanding your question… you’re saying the file is at 100% but you’re also saying the torrent isn’t at 100%, to me that sounds like there’s torrent pieces missing to complete the rest of the .mp4 file maybe.
EDIT: Just to add, technically encoding software can write that moov atom at the beginning of the .mp4 file which would avoid this problem entirely but it sounds like these files you’re downloading aren’t encoded that way. In encoding software usually that means “optimizing” the file or making it “web” ready for a web browser to play immediately as it downloads sequentially… I forget what ffmpeg calls it specifically.
EDIT 2: Thinking about it, if you’re desperate to play this file as-is maybe you can run it through ffmpeg to create a new .mp4 file and then play it that way. It’s not a real fix since the original source seems to be broken but you may be able to get something playable at least.
Again with this? You’re just spamming /c/Piracy at this point (and probably breaking rule #4).
Torrent swarms need at least one connectable (port forwarded) peer for any torrent data to transfer. In large torrent swarms you won’t notice this too much since there are usually plenty of connectable peers available.
The effect tends to be more noticeable in smaller swarms.
In practice you may not notice unless you try to download those torrents with one lone seed who also happen to have no port forward. In those cases you’ll see there’s a seed but no torrent data ever transfers over to you. (note that the same happens in reverse if you’re the lone seed on many torrents)
Are there new ones that carry the torch? Do the successors to these release groups have their trackers too?
The vast majority of public torrent indexers do not run their own trackers.
Dead trackers are common with old torrents. Personally I remove all the public trackers and just let DHT take care of that.
But if you prefer to have active public trackers on there then you could
- Remove all the dead ones
- Add the top x trackers from https://github.com/ngosang/trackerslist
Something like https://github.com/fedarovich/qbittorrent-cli ? Haven’t used it myself but it’s been on my radar.
I’ve found REDacted and Orpheus quite appealing, but they’re “hard” to get into
You just have to interview for either/both of them, they’re not really that hard to get into. Certainly easier to get into vs any of the big movie/tv trackers, none of those have interview to join.
That said if you are already established at other big private trackers then often you may be able to just join via the tracker’s internal forums, tracker recruiters are often found there.
Discussed in the earlier post https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/35846542
I’ve always paid with crypto.
But you might be able to buy a prepaid credit card with cash and then use that for the seedbox payment? Maybe just double-check that it would work with your seedbox provider e.g. in the U.S. most prepaid cards sold in stores are U.S. only and won’t process international transactions and since most seedbox providers are outside the U.S. they may not work together. Haven’t spent a lot of time trying to figure out how to get the right prepaid card for those scenarios.
Just a random guess - Maybe Cloudflare is killing the connection attempts every now and then? IPT does use Cloudflare on their end. I don’t have any specific experience with that but people have mentioned using things like FlareSolverr when using the *arr apps with a site behind Cloudflare.
If it’s not that then maybe it’s just IPT, hopefully someone else with the *arr apps set up with that tracker can give you more insight.
It’s not. You will need to lower your torrent client’s incoming connections limit and/or set lower limits to your incoming/outgoing bandwidth in your torrent client. It is clear your network router is unable to handle too much torrent traffic hitting it at the same time, hence the issues you are experiencing.
For qB
Tools / Options / Connection / Global Maximum Number Of Connections
Tools / Options / Speed / Global Rate Limits
There’s no specific number to enter there, you just have to experiment a bit and set lower numbers until the problem goes away and your network is stable.
It will, eventually. It does take a bit for other torrent clients to realize you’re no longer online and stop sending you traffic / sharing your IP with other peers.
