Look, I'm not pressuring you to do something you don't want to do. All I'm saying is, the only way this works is if we all want it to. We all need to do our part.

Look at the prohibition of alcohol. It never would have been repealed if people didn't fight back against it and drink illegally. Look at the prohibition of marijuana.

The same thing goes for the prohibition of information. We all need to stick our necks out. Each one matters, and we can all do our part.

Good luck.

I've been a Readarr user with two instances(ebooks, and audiobooks) for a long time now. But more and more often, files get unlinked in the database making it less and less useful as a way to track what books I have vs "wanted," which is my main use case.

I've been trying to convert to LazyLibrarian, but boy people weren't exaggerating when they said the configuration is unclear. Unfortunately the docs do not clear it up. Interesting I'm what y'all are doing!

Japanese manga publishers have declared victory over Cloudflare in a long-running copyright infringement liability dispute. Kadokawa, Kodansha, Shueisha and Shogakukan say that Cloudflare's refusal to stop manga piracy sites, meant they were left with no other choice but to take legal action. The Tokyo District Court rendered its decision this morning, finding Cloudflare liable for damages after it failed to sufficiently prevent piracy.

Any site / group that prepares full-season (TV) torrents relatively quickly after the season ends? EZTV lists full-season torrents, but they usually don't show up until the next season starts.

I prefer binge watching my shows, so I almost always wait for the season to end. It's easier for me to manage a single torrent in my client that it is to manage one for every episode.

I've been having trouble since rarbg shut down and have been having to manually check downloaded files because so many of them are poor quality, not even playable or completely different movies/shows. YTS has been decent for movies but over the last 48 hours it's been failing (maybe because of the cloudflare issue but who knows)

• I know the easiest solution would be to cough up the money for a usenet sub but I don't want to unless absolutely necessary.
• I'm not on any private trackers.

So what public torrent indexers do you use and what order do you have them in?

Hey guys, Im looking for a cartoon from 2017 named Stich & Ai. It was a collab beetwen chinese and american studios, weirdly made for chinese kids but also dubbed into english. I usually post requests with media find helping when its really difficult to find; and thats the case here. Although Ive found 720p version, it doesnt look to good. I have searched everywhere for 1080p rip (meanining, in places that I have access to) but to no avail. So, maybe some of you guys could help out?

Hey, I've just found a great source of cartoons with dubbing in my native language, which I highly prefer than original dub. The source has many many cartoons I would like to download and preserve. However, the creator uploads them to filemoon. Ive tried using ytdlp, but it lists filemoon as piracy site and wont allow downloading. I can downlaod them one by one with live stream download extension or with the stream detector extensions but, as I mentioned, there is a great amount of episodes and links it will take a lot of time like that. Hence, my question regarding a tool that would allow me mass download from filemoon. Are you guys aware of any possibilities?

from what i've heard internet archive torrents are automatically generated but does it speed up downloads for others or is it just another alternative form of download? (i like more niche archived vhs things so often times the stuff i like isn't popular anyway). just curious, really. i also donate straight to internet archive because i think they're worth it but it was just a late night thought i had and was curious.

I'm looking for the set of 6 bruce lee films in their original sound, with bruce's actual voice. I don't like the dubs at all. I can't seem to find the original chinese (mandarin? cantonese? google is unsurprisingly totally useless and contradictory) even through legitimate sources. If anyone knows where to get this media, I would be grateful and seed indefinitely. If the only option is to buy from a legitimate source I would upload it myself. Please and thank you.

edit: what im looking for:

The Big Boss 唐山大兄 (1971)

Fist of Fury AKA The Chinese Connection 精武門 (1972)

The Way of the Dragon AKA Return of the Dragon 猛龍過江 (1972)

Enter the Dragon 龍爭虎鬥 (1973)

The Game of Death 死亡的遊戲 (1978)

Game of Death II 死亡塔 (1981)

I was considering buying their lifetime subscription at the end of this month, but all the bots posting reviews and commenting on Reddit don't help.

I heard about this VPN in one of my recent threads here, and I believe Lemmy is cleaner than Reddit, so here I am, ready to read what you think about the service.

Would you use it to torrent? I said I only needed to watch movies, but eventually the stuff I watch is in a "niche" language, and the sites are overcrowded, so downloading from torrent is probably the best way (at the moment I'm downloading from the streaming sites through an app and Proton, but it's getting a bit slow).

^ It's not even Proton that's the problem; it's the sites that are slow as heck, and downloading an episode each evening sometimes is too much of a PITA. (while watching it like a normal user, well after dinner is basically a 1-minute wait every 10-15 seconds or something like that)

https://github.com/Drewski2423/drewlive is where I got a ton of my iptv channels. Anyone know if they've resurfaced somewhere else? Super bummed.

I wouldn't need such a tool usually, but when I watch content in my native language, the sites are clearly overused, and the video blocks every 5 seconds. On Android I use LJ Video Downloader, and I'm wondering if there's something for Windows.
