check one of my previous comments on my profile. the provider I mentioned has french channels for ~20eur/year. in my comment a mention a new box I bought but before that I was using the service on a mi box given by my ISP
I stopped playing Time Warpers, it’s an idle FPS game. The game is fun, but sadly there’s not enough interesting progressions to get me thru 500 levels. Most important for me, is that I’ve managed to play the game comfortably with a left-handed trackball (Kensington Expert placed on left hand side), since I’ve shifted from right handed mouse couple of months ago. I rarely play FPS, but the game was easy and comfortable enough that I can enjoy the experience with a trackball.- Armored Core 6. The first AC game for me. While I do enjoy the battles, the mech movement can be a bit slippery, I’ve just switched to reverse joint legs, maybe it will feel better. The story is interesting, but I kinda wish the character banters are more like in Ace Combat 7, bit livelier, with character portraits. I’m enjoying the game very much
There just aren’t many german torrents, at least on public trackers. Might be because of this law firm that constantly sends out letters asking for hundreds of euros per infringement.
I’ve had more luck with Usenet, especially the indexers SceneNZBs and DrunkenSlug. The former is a collaboration with the forum House Of Usenet, which gives me almost always the result I want (e.g. remux, german english dual language).
Automation with *arr works great, but it’s not the type of search and play like with Torrentio + real-debrid. Downloading the entire movie/show takes time depending on the bandwidth.
I am very new to the whole torrenting and stremio thing, so I have basically no clue how to utilise any new indexers. I just looked up what it actually means and as far as I understand, they are the tools to find suitable torrents for the target media, is that right? So, is the goal here is to replace Torrentio and hook it up to stremio by itself?
Because the setup has to be cheap and secure, I will probably have to rely on RD and I am not aware of any way to use its service outside of Torrentio.
Or does switching to the *arr alternatives provide enough security while living in Germany. I am really not looking forward to getting annoying letters for any leaking.
Indexers are search engines for usenet, just like trackers allow for searching for torrents. You’re curently using torrent trackers through Torrentio, which downloads the torrents through RD. RD then streams the media to you. This is convenient but as far as I know only works with public trackers, since most private trackers require you to directly upload as much as you download.
Yes, the *arr apps download the requested media through torrent or usenet. They usually run on a server (old laptop, RPi, …). They allow for searching and then automatically downloading content in the right resolution, language and size through torrents or usenet. This downloaded media might then be watched through Jellyfin or Kodi.
If you use torrents directly (public or private), always use a VPN in Germany. Downloading through usenet isn’t a big risk without VPN, just like torrents with RD isn’t risky either. Using *arr with torrents means a VPN is necessary to avoid unfriendly letters.
So, is the goal here is to replace Torrentio and hook it up to stremio by itself?
I don’t know whether Usenet works with Streamio but there might be a plugin. It might be that Streamio just doesn’t work well for german content.
Sorry, it’ll be difficult beating Streamio + RD in ease of use and cost. I’m using *arr and Jellyfin which means I have a server (desktop pc) with a big HDD running 24/7. Since I’m using usenet the cost of indexer and provider comes on top.
The setup just ain’t right for me. I am extremely happy with the simplicity RD provides and I don’t want to actually store the media on my hardware, nor am I looking forward to letting my PC run throughout most of the day, just so my family can watch whenever they want.
I guess I will have to accept that I will not be able to reliably get German sources with my setup. I am glad that my family is bilingual and therefore is also happy with watching movies in Russian, which provides more than enough public trackers. Though most current movies don’t actually have proper voice dubs and rely on fan dubs because of the current political situation I think.
Yes, one of the main reasons I set up *arr was that I have a server running anyway, so I better put it to good use. RD seems gets mentioned a lot and after trying it out for a few weeks the value and simplicity is great.
Glad to hear that you’re family is bilingual as I won’t get far with english only with mine. That’s a major reason I switched to usenet as it’s easier to find dual language content than getting into private trackers.
Ahoy, matey! If ye be lookin’ to improve the seedin’ of yer torrents, I’ve got a few tips that’ll make yer digital treasure spread faster than a sailor’s rumor in a tavern. First off, make sure ye be havin’ a proper port open on yer ship – aye, that’s the port-forwardin’ business. Next, check if yer ship’s crew, I mean, yer torrent client, be allowed through the firewall. Ye don’t want no scallywag blockin’ yer signal.
Now, here be the trick to gettin’ more swashbucklers to join yer crew – keep that torrent active, savvy? No need to be a lazy landlubber and abandon ship as soon as ye finish downloadin’. The more ye be sharin’, the more likely others’ll join the ranks.
And let’s not forget about those trackers, the navigational stars of yer torrentin’ voyage. Find yerself some trackers with plenty of hearties on ‘em, and add ‘em to yer torrent – that’ll give ye more chances to connect with fellow buccaneers sailin’ the same waters.
Last but not least, be mindful of yer upload rate, matey. Don’t be a hog, sharin’ is carin’ in the high seas of torrentin’. Set yer upload rate to a fair share, and ye’ll be well on yer way to becomin’ a respected seeder in the pirate bay. Arrr, happy torrentin’ and smooth sailin’, ye digital pirate! 🏴☠️
I have the same problem. I generally just leave my torrent client running in the background when I work. I never leave it running because I think of my parents’ electricity bill.
If you have a server the key is just… time. Leave it be, and when you’re not downloading anything, go full throttle on sharing!
It’s a service that allows tv/movie streaming from torrents. I use it with the ‘Seren’ addon within Kodi on my HTPC/FireSticks. It’s $20/6 months, and works great. No buffering.
