“Hi, where can I download BBC radio panel shows?”

“Just a minute… I’m sorry I haven’t a clue”

Yay, one film in the last two years that I could’ve obtained if I had a private tracker instead of public ones

Think I’ll survive, thanks! 😁

My experience precisely. If I can’t find it on mobilism.org, off to myanonymouse. Btw they’re amazing and the servers cost a ton, small donations make a huge difference

I’ve never been unable to find films etc that I wanted on public trackers, especially with the search function on Qbittorrent. Don’t see the need for elitist wanks on private trackers

I doubt they’d even have the obscure stuff that won’t download… Hold on…

The only one sitting at 0% is “Vacuuming Completely Nude In Paradise”, an odd British film. I doubt even a private tracker would have that

While this is a great and easy option, bear in mind… Where do you think RD gets the content for you? It’s entirely reliant on other people doing the work. It’s the uploaders and seeders who keep it alive.

It’s very easy for you to just go grab that content for yourself without sharing it, but what will happen if everyone starts doing it?

Especially people like OP, who want the ease without the effort

About the same, but guaranteed seeders. Half the stuff on ABB will never download, MaM takes seconds

If you’re into audiobooks, Myanonymouse is essential but easy to get into. Other than that, I’m the same. 20 years of torrenting and I’ve never needed a private tracker

It’s mostly just an elitist thing

Am I right in thinking though, if everyone used a debrib service, nobody would be seeding the torrents and it would all fall to bits?

I just checked, if it’s called Sensitive - The Untold Story, there’s quite a few on there. Top one is saying 76 seeders, which usually means about 10 anyway!

You need to install Python and fuck about a bit, but it’s well worth it. Reddit has multiple guides on how to do it

Installing the search function on Qbittorrent is really simple, and is my go to when I can’t find something elsewhere

Thanks! Aye if it’s ok in DE, it’s probably okayer elsewhere

Do you need to have a VPN running for that?

Okaaaay I’ll let you in on the secret - vsttorrentz dot net

Enjoy!

Jesus fucking Christ

Free options? Wait, people are paying to watch adverts? Holy shit

Small artists depend on their income from their 9 to 5 jobs. The music is a bonus

Source - been there

No that’s a different show. Muenster Spade is a documentary about cheese-based gardening impliments

It’s usually just an nfo or srt file that one seeder has deleted

One time I added a subtitle file to the download folder, renamed to the same as the movie file, and the download percentage jumped to completed

Square sausage. No kidding either

Full Scottish but point taken

The music scene was the one single thing the UK had left

Simon Cowell will rot in hell with a burning chicken shoved up his colon

Long read, but really interesting bit of music history

Mobilism.org has also served me very well for over a decade

The only problem with services as a subscription is THE FUCKING IDIOTS THAT PAY FOR THEM

If nobody fell for shit like that, manufacturers would drop it like boiling diarrhea

I’m old school. Qbittorrent on the computer, hdmi lead running to the TV

Python for the search function on Qbittorrent

Though, reading this thread, I do pay for realdebrid and I clearly don’t have a clue how to use it

My usual method - see what’s trending on 1337X, then go to IMDB and see what is under “more like this”

And yeah, once you start rating stuff, some of the recommendations are pretty accurate

That was three minutes of info in a 12 minute vid

Please fuck off with this shit, it’s ruining Lemmy

Can people start apologising for posting a video instead of an article?

Umm… It is

I can see how that would be perPlexing

Yeah I had dots on my arse once. Turned out I’d been sitting on my keyboard

Still, very much appreciated by us deafies!

Yep, it’s likely a sus licence, but when it eventually refuses to work, a quick phone call to MS and they just say “Fuck it, go on then”. Call centre people don’t care where you got it 😅

I’ve been pirating for twenty years and you do kind of just stick with it even when you can afford stuff.

That said, when I reinstalled Windows a while ago, I was fannying about for aaaaaages trying to get a cracked version of Office to work when I suddenly realised I could just buy it for a tenner and not have to fuck about 😂 It hadn’t occurred to me before

Thanks for this, I’ll try it. I like obscure books lol

Is there a c/confidentlyincorrect? 😅

I’ve been using mobilism dot org for over a decade. A bit hit or miss, but I have myanonymouse as a backup

I devour audiobooks and it’s very rare I can’t find something between those two

Good to hear, I have some more somewhere if you’d like

Aye and the islanders have fond memories of when you went home mate 😜

Pardon me for wanting to learn about other places, and assisting those like me that had this thread appear on their feed yesterday

Canadians, polite? Only compared to the yanks maybe 😅

Yes I had to look it up too. It’s Prince Edward Island
