Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/dvdrCPr3gDQ

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.

This list comes in useful for people who are not tech savvy to stream shit. Just make sure they have some form of adblock for sure. https://fmhy.pages.dev/videopiracyguide/#dedicated-hosts

You know I just thought about sharing my entire piracy bookmark folder (while excluding some subfolders and/or sites) on Brave Android, is there any way to do so?

Most browsers have a setting that lets you export your favorites as an HTML file.

Sorry for the late reply I got busy with other things, anyway here is my piracy folder just import the file using your browser

Also, it’s unfortunately not the case with the mobile version and the desktop version doesn’t allow for exporting select bookmarks, I used Edge to drag and drop the folder into it then edited it then hit export

Alternatively, there are browser extensions that can do that

tehparadox was relaunched under a different name in 2016 by an uploader in vietnam and the current one is a fraud. ive seen it on FMHY but its also easily found on google

LocalSend or KDEConnect to send files between devices.

https://ripped.guide/ can be pretty handy.

Oh wow! A quick look on it and I saw its a massive data source… Thank you!

Oooh so it’s my first time hearing and after looking it up, WHY AREN’T PEOPLE USING IT? Like why pay for a VPN, when you have stuff like this? What are the limiting factors for XDCC?

Its not as common as torrenting, so less stuff is uploaded to it. Also download speeds are dependent on the bot, so some dls can be pretty slow

@Kissaki@feddit.de

The limiting factor is accessibility/usability.

Having to set up an irc client, with xdcc, and then learning about xdcc commands.

Are there better web search engines than https://www.xdcc.eu/?

I like sunxdcc.com and i think xdcc.rocks is another option but i havent tried it

What is that?

IRC is a simple text chat protocol.

DCC is an extension for file transfer.

XDCC is a text command definition/protocol for interacting with irc chat bots offering files through DCC.

If you have ever heard of IRC it uses that network to directly send files to you. Basically you need an IRC client then you message a bot for the file(s) you want it to send to you. There are xdcc search engines like sunxdcc and you can usually find books, audio, anime, etc.

Im sorry for asking this but what is IRC?

Its an old school chat protocol. You can try it for yourself kiwiirc is a website that lets you chat with IRC. You need to pick a network, Rizon is a good network to start with. There are a bunch of different commands you can use but the only ones i found useful are /msg to send a message and /join to join a channel.

For the downloading part you need a client that supports XDCC, and then you can use these commands with your bot of choice

Thanks! Will definitely have to check it out once my brain remembers to remember this.

It is closed source though. Qbittorrent is a very strong rival in torrent downloaders. It is well maintained, with free license, and omniplatform

Is there like any advantage of vuze over something more mainstream like qbitorrent?

No idea. It’s just what I’ve always used. It does what I need it to, so. Woo

I was on µTorrent for a long time on a really old build (like 2.2.1) because it got even more bloated and crappy with every new release, especially over 3.0. I realized, aside from missing new features and stuff, it was probably a security risk being that far behind. I made the switch to qBittorrent and never looked back. It basically took everything I liked about that old style build of µTorrent and brought it into modern times.

Thats hilarious. Is it still super bloated?

private trackers in general

What are the benefits of private trackers for someone who only pirates widely popular media and games?

There once was a couple of Danish sites where all content had Danish subtitles. That was really nice, and something you don’t find on the average P2P-site.

nothing. Private trackers are overrated. Unless you want some obscure things.

Is there a private tracker for good quality versions of really terrible movies?

Things like The Room and Silent Night Deadly Night 2. I feel like there must be a niche bad movie lovers community…

SNDN2 has easy to access quality rip on the surface web due to the Scream Factory release.

Unfortunately the largest source of bad movies outside of MST3K was Lowtaxs Plex server, all ripped from his private collection.

Really wish his estate would have put the discs or his movie up for sale. I belive his family threw most of it out.

I’m part of several movie private trackers an they all lack old terrible movies, just the popular ones.

Ptp literally has the biggest collection of any private tracker I’ve ever used. Even the most niche movies u can always find it with good seeders

If only you can get there. I’m trying to

Lol I have a feeling that getting in there as a total newbie like me is a stretch…

The thing with private trackers is that theren’t that many more people who can use it

Not following what you mean by this comment?

Probably that there’s not many people with access to private trackers

For Manga/Comics/Webtoons/Etc.:
Tachidesk on desktop
Tachiyomi on mobile.
These are both fantastic and allow you to grab manga, comics, etc. from pretty much every site you can think of to have it all in one place.

For Movies/TV/Anime:
Kodi + Debrid + Arctic Horizon 2/TMDbHelper + Fen + Otaku (resources: 1, 2; screenshots: album)
I love this. I can watch literally anything I want as if it was a netflix-like service, and don’t have to use a VPN. Can even throw this on a shield/chromecast/firestick.

edit: tachidesk doesn’t have a fit-to-page feature, but you can just use stylus with this:
img{
height:100vh !important; /* fit height of screen */
min-width:0 !important; /* also needed for fit height */
}
edit 2: Also, not really piracy per se, but Syncplay is great for watching downloaded content with friends.

Have you tried stremio + real debrid, I’ve been using that and wanted to see if there’s any benefits to switching to kodi.

I haven’t ever tried it so unfortunately I can’t directly compare. I’ve been using kodi + debrid for years though with zero issues, and since it served my needs perfectly I haven’t tried anything new since. I even set it up on a chromecast for my tech illiterate dad, and he’s been cable/stream service free since.

Kodi is more customizable and you can make its interface similar to streaming apps, otherwise the result is the same

Holy crap, I downloaded Tachiyomi cause of you and I’m absolutely loving it already. Makes reading all my manhwas on my phone so much easier.

Banged my head against Tachidesk for a bit tonight, I do not see how to import sources, even a local one, I guess there is more hidden config stuff to do.

I do not see how to import sources

You need to install extensions before you can use the source section to perform a search. Once you’ve done that, typing something into the search field under sources will search through all the extensions you have installed.

even a local one

They have an entire guide on that.

For comics I use getcomics.org

EDIT: took away the www, and actually spelt “get” right which should fix the links. Sorry everyone!
