C’mon, it’s funny.

Is it possible to still comment at Torrent Freak? I’m not seeing any comments across browsers, and I would assume speculation and rumours would have otherwise been rife.

I don’t know what that is, but it’s not torrent galaxy - same interface but over a week old

Dough!

The index manager appears to be for Windows only (I’m on a Mac). What is the benefit of that for torrenters anyway? A google search seems to throw up all different kinds of index managers.

Onion link?

It skips through songs every song half way through.

I downloaded a flac version of the album and converted it to m4a - works fine now. Weird.

It’s not my Reddit post though - just the result of a google search to see if anyone else was experiencing the same issue for no apparent reason.

Thanks for the all your responses guys - it was most appreciated.

I found a surprisingly simple solution - Quickplayer! (believe it or not)

thanks, I tried using Audacity but I got an ‘incompatible plugin’ error message.

Soulseek is great secondary source but often a little slow to get the latest releases - users appear to source their new music from elsewhere (like DJ Sound Top or Electronic Fresh). I was hoping that there might be other primary sources.

thanks for taking the time out to clarify this for me.

Unfortunately, I’m too stupid to make sense of how to use yt-dlp

You managed to download it for yourself using yt-dlp?

thanks very much for that.

I don’t see the required yt-dlp app (or whatever) for the iMac and the above just appears to be a link that I can’t use.

Can you please clarify what I might need to do to install/download yt-dlp?

Transmission used to be my preferred app hands down but recent updates have negatively impacted its performance on my end. If all it needs to do is download torrents, why does it now sometimes seem incapable of connecting to a given (popular) swarm ?

Particularly unfortunate is that once it does connect, the download speed has now become arbitrary: it keeps alternating between ‘incredibly fast’ and ‘surprisingly slow’ and takes three or four times as long to complete. I’ve become so exasperated with it that I’ve been forced to move on (deluge instantly connects and consistently downloads at five times the speed).

I really like biglybt, but why is it so… slow to add torrents or shut itself down? It seems as if the app does so many different things simultaneously that it doesn’t do them seamlessly or instantaneously. I mean, why does it need ‘up to twenty seconds’ to close after you’ve downloaded something? Is it bloat? Is there a way to streamline its running?

I want to use qbittorrent, but my Mac won’t let me install it - says it’s too old for the operating system and/or that it can’t be verified.

I’ve just installed bigly bt, and I have three questions: 1) is it possible to set the seeding ratio 2) do we really need to confirm the deletion of every torrent via the pop up? (I have RSI, and the less popups or clicking the better) and 3) why does searching for a torrent via the internal search engine result in a captula.?

thank you very much

thanks, what’s the wrapping script and how would I enable it?).

Thanks, that appears to be the right app or plugin, but Mac won’t let me install it (too old for my current OS and/or can’t verify if its safe). Thanks, though.

I’m not sure.

the app settings don’t appear to say anything about magnet links

It doesn’t appear to be a browser issue - same thing happens irrespective of browser

Thanks for the quick reply, but that doesn’t work for me (there is no popup on my end).
