Any more advice for a fellow torrenter in Germany regarding linux isos (hey lawyer ;))

Using a seedbox from abroad to avoid local downloads.

Just apply an EQ with more bass and done. Gaming headphones

I can see a new launch game for the switch 2 in the works.
It would certainly makes sense.

True. Maybe not launch game but late game.

I hope those Win10 games will be compatible or can be emulated (a la proton) to the modern OS equivalent.

Living and doing it in Germany. Juat need to do your research.

opensignup pages like r/opensignups (now retired) but there are alternatives online, the AvistaZ/CinemaZ/PrivateHD discord has surprise invites and usually they open around christmas and/or black friday.

Seems fine with media, but careful using it for actual executables.

As with any exe from a non-official online source.

Also found none. At least not in french. If you still want it, look on nyaa.

My way:
Renting a seedbox outside of Germany (NL) for about 16€ per month for a 2TB box.
Is it a very great value? No, not really.
But the staff is very reponsive to issues. Tickets are being reponded to usually within 24h and resolved within 1 week. (Much better than my helpdesk performance lol)
I got grandfathered in from an unmetered service. I can seed as much as I want at ~1Gbit/s even though I may not hit it due to being a shared box. So also very good.
And I can use public trackers there.

Stuff is getting transferred with resilio to my home, automatically imported and appears within 30min after download is complete in my media library.

The other option to a seedbox is a VPN and doing it from home. Only let a program connect via the tunnel.

Personally I am not fond of option #2 as I’d need to maintain it myself, my home internet is slow compared to a seedbox and I’d need to torrent from my own ISP connection. Yeah no. #1 is managed and I just pay the amount of 2 good quality services and have everything I can aquire.

Better stuff than some public sites and software that can be more trustworthy than 1337x.

Appoxo, rok temu (edited rok temu)

It’s not like a public tracker. Please watch out and read the rules before downloading.

Edit: The fuck am I being downvoted for? Inconsiderate users that want newbies to fail :|

Appoxo, rok temu

Look online for open signups. Usually TL opens around eastern, summer, Black Friday and sometimes on Christmas.

Appoxo, rok temu (edited rok temu)

Huh? It cant be easier. With just a 2TB drive and 2 years I collected 8TB in upload on this tracker alone.
This is one of the easiest if you can seed 24/7

Appoxo, rok temu

Sounds like it’s not the issue of the tracker at all. Just invest in a small seedbox either self hosted or get a proper non-free vpn. Not exactly rocket science…

Appoxo, rok temu

Basically your are being held responsible for seeding it either 1:1 or for some time if you cant reach that goal.

Longevity is rewarded on some trackers with more bonus points you can trade for stuff like Upload credits. The longer you seed, the more you can get per seed.

Usually privates can get exclusive stuff which trickles to public trackers but they also pull from public (like anime from nyaa) and reseed them here.
Some private tracker users are unable to download from public because either their ISP watches that more closely or their seedbox provider does not permit it/banned connections

The general quality is >=720p and usally a higher bitrate than public ones.

Sime trackers are general (like 1337x and TL), specific for movie and tv (like RARBG and Blu) and some others for topics like ebooks and audiobooks, music/-videos, learning materials.
Some may even only allow content that was produced >10 years ago (cathode) or something like cartoons (old toons) or culture specific (like jptv and nyaa) only.

Appoxo, rok temu

Research and believing in the good of some users.

Usually the comments on TL are dead for stuff like movies and TV. But for software they are quite active in comparison.

*In the good to not infect you with malware because they actually want to hurt the big corpo.

This sounds better.

Appoxo, rok temu (edited rok temu)

Yes and yes.
Keep an eye open for opensignup pages on the interwebz for trackers. Some open entirely while others you need to apply for with seed proof (public seed does not matter).

Some private trackers may have an invite forum. You could try to achieve a class with access to it (usually a high threshold of seed or commitment, showing you know how the rules of such sites work)

Appoxo, rok temu

As you said, some may or may not accept the proof.
BUT: Some trackers proof may be worth less or more than others.

Appoxo, rok temu

Why would you need file encryption?
Not like having a drive full of movies is illegal…Except if OP has CSAM stuff inside. Than it should be very encrypted in case of loosing (or not depending if OP wants jail time).

Appoxo, rok temu

Not like I don’t agree. Those vile people should.
But something like that or actually confidential stuff you don’t want others to see is a valid reason to encrypt it.

Appoxo, rok temu

Usually you do not have a static IP anyway. Sure you could probably backtrace the DHCP of your ISP to the date yout that IP got issued…But that is IMO a bit overly paranoid.

Though to be fair’ I don’t know why they don’t like VPNs for signups. Most likely to enforce IP based bans for not following rules or for entire banned countries.
If you don’t really care about the rules, just do it on signup but don’t connect US -> DE but instead US -> US. That way they may not care enough to enforce rules.
One tracker even mentioned that the rules are there. Some are strictly followed (like naming rules), while others are not followed as strictly.

Oh yeah, let’s create 250GB SSD cartridges per game because thry each cost about 26€

You know how ridiculous that sounds, right?

Appoxo, rok temu

We have gone from cartridges, to CDs, to kind-of cartridges.
We have kinda gone full circle! Now we need something lile a holocron or like a Cortana AI chip to store an even bigger amount.

Appoxo, rok temu

And like how would cartridge games work anyways? most PCs have really limited sata slots

Like this? picture

Appoxo, rok temu

Yeah but not how the remaining whole industry treats it.
I saw literally no outcry regarding BG3 and early game bugs. Comparing it to CP2077 it was a stellar release in terms of PR.

Appoxo, rok temu

Ubisoft did (does?) it to a degree with their Rainbow 6 TTS (beta) servers to test the sandbox and did so for a few technical alpha/beta releases acting as selected pewviews to see how the game is received and where bugs are.

Appoxo, rok temu

I believe they pick users at random. You can’t even update your submitted data from X times ago after an upgrade.

Host something like Jellyfin and maintain it your own streaming service.
Expose it to the internet for on the go.
