the thing with DMCA is that it’s super easy to issue one but potentially more costly to challenge, especially if your appeals to the host fail and your only option is court.
Hosts are scared of facing liability for approving appeals so they’ll just ignore them (unless the victim is a big name that can muster popular support) so as the DMCA victim you’re usually fucked
Usually they give users points of credit to download more torrents: Users that don’t seed will burn through their download credits and won’t be able to download.
Other trackers will also give you points for every hour you seed a torrent (usually X points per gigabyte per hour) which encourages seeding even if the given file isn’t as popular, or so popular that other seeders choke you out of uploading to other users.
I never got solvarr to work sadly but your mileage may vary. I ended up stalking /r/opensignups til decent trackers came through for my media
sportsurge.net does f1 and many other sports, listed 30mins before start time usually.
I’ve tried! but recently it seems to not work anymore? Github seems to imply it doesnt after my failed attempt (it picked up requests but cloudflare bot protection beats it).
i think there’s other alternatives that can beat cloudflare bot detection but now that Ive got access to 2 private trackers I’m not usually picking through public stuff now.
True, but like any piracy system there are endless heads to the hydra that pop up every time. 1ficher is a bit worse since those files are gone, but at least mirrors for trackers have some utility in finding old torrent swarms.
RIP. Though personally I haven’t used them in years since cloudflare was blocking prowlarr.
Yeah they didn’t make it especially difficult for Nintendo here
Congrats! and besides, if you decide you like a different media player later you’re still free to spin it up and point it to the same media drives, plex/jelly/emby/whatever don’t modify your files. I’ve even seen some use Jellyfin and Plex.
Enjoy the rabbit hole !
Is there a thing where you can link these to other trackers to make it available to more leechers?
It’s not that hard in practice. You can start with jellyfin then work up from there. After that it’s a torrent client, after that its radarr/sonarr, after that it’s prowlarr, after that its jellyseer. Every step you can stop to tinker and fix issues and you can even swap stuff that doesnt work how you like.
I have a feeling it may just be TrueNAS reporting it weirdly, or at least not in the way I expected.
I’ve just checked the file system in the console and the folders in question have multiple hard links when I run ls -la.
I think TrueNAS is just marking the qbt download dir’s size as the full amount of the folders before they’re hard linked. Either way it’s recorded I’m sure it’s not actually duplicating the data now! phew!
And yes I’m aware of the docker issues, whilst vague radarr/sonarr explained it pretty well
Yup, *arrs actually warn you about that so I fixed it before I started downloading anything.
Hardlinks aren’t a big issue for me but does explain how I had a bunch of “deleted” items in my plex folder when I migrated recently - I must have only deleted the qbittorrent (or plex) inode and left the other to get imported
qbitcontroller is a brilliant app on android. It sends push notifications when your downloads complete and it bundles everything into a brilliant interface for mobile imo.
some private trackers won’t let you use uTorrent either, good.
I think this depends on your tracker. For digitalcore, they expect you to be seeding for X amount of time but after that you’re good. I don’t think ratio is super important for them but it may be others.
They also have an IRC that increases your freeleech as long as you idle in it. When I started I accidentally did a few Hit-and-runs and my freeleech was low so I just logged in with a client I set up to autostart with my OS, which sorted it quickly enough.
Once you get a few torrents permanently seeding (even if it’s slow!) you build up enough freeleech to not ever have to worry - it’s self sustaining for me now.
If uTorrent has no haters, I am dead
A real hero buys second hand copies of media they cant find on public trackers and uploads them for the good of the swarm 🤜🤛
I wonder if Facebook will be quietly watching this considering their very public consumption of AA recently.
