Open Subtitles now only allows 5 downloads per 24 hours per IP. You have to pay for more.
Kind of annoying when searching for the exact sub file for the movie file you have.
Especially when half those subtitle files appear to be AI generated anyway, or have weird Asian gambling ads shoved in.
Glad MKV seems to be the standard now, and include subs from the original sources.
