They're only meant to be watched in the cinema.

>>1288882
>doesn't know that resolution can vary drastically depending on screen size

>>1288879
>why no 1440p
because the warez scene has decided the only acceptable resolutions are SD, 720, 1080p and 2160p

cracks are a workaround file/code that breaks DRM/copy protection.
regular licensed software is the legitimate software

which are the best places for general torrents (movies, music, ebooks, etc.)? apart from the usual ones

>>1289152
1337x for publics, shouldn't use the pirate bay. If you are smart enough to use private trackers, you can go for it, but there are a lot of dumbasses who ask for invites and then forget how to fucking torrent

>>1289160
yeah i mostly use 1337x for some stuff + rutracker for music mostly. i wanted to get into private trackers but dunno where. any reccs?

>>1289162
torrentleech. Shit ton of stuff, stupid easy to get buffer. Season packs and everything above 14gb is freeleech.

what are some other good places besides /t/ to post magnets anonymously? Just want to seed a few things far and wide...

>>1288879
Do you guys watch your torrented movies on your TV? If so what device/method do you use?

>>1289254
most movies are not interesting, but you must decide for yourself. there is nyaa.si, thepiratebay and not really much known sites. RARBG and demonoid where ones i knew before... but you supposed to pay money that does not cost the producers anything so they can rip you off because "people" are very intelligent.

>>1288879
>>Why aren't movies seemingly ever torrented in 2k (1440p)?
the real answer is they just aren't released like that. it's either 4k for movies/blurays or 1080p for streaming/dvd
no point reencoding to 2k either, since anyone who cares wants 4k and anyone who doesn't wants 1.2GB, and 2k movies are neither of those

not to mention it's lack of commonality as a screen resolution outside of gaming monitors

In 2006 site's ownership changed hands, and its original three founders left the company one by one, last of them leaving iirc in 2009.
In 2014 swedish pigs raided TPB, confiscated their hardware, then later in 2015 their .se TLD was seized by swedish cuckold authorities by ruling of their cuckold niggerloving court. TPB appealed and lost, so it went down for an extended period of time.
When it came back, year after year it got shadier. First major fuckup was when in 2017 they implemented a cryptominer script on the main page. Users weren't made aware of it initially, but after then TPB owners got caught, the script was removed the following year.
Next thing, probably the most important one, was that the "skull" statuses (marking VIPs and other trusted users) became completely worthless due to lax or nonexistent vetting process. "Trusted" users would repeatedly upload malware and their status never got revoked.

TPB is an empty husk of itself, full of malware and dead torrents.

Two VPN's does nothing, just potentiates the number of hands that have access to your data.
The solution is an internet killswitch. Ideally kill the entire device's connection if VPN drops. On top of that, or in leu of, set up a kill switch specifically for your torrent client. Also bind your VPN network in your torrent client. In Qbit >settings >advanced >Network interface
This makes it so it can't connect to any other interfaces.

Dead and buried. All of members got either bought out by Irdeto (denuvo's developer) or threatened with lawsuits to stop cracking it, and it's the only DRM on the market that always stops cracking for months if not years. Nowadays "scene" groups can barely crack steamworks using pre-made tools.

Haxnode has no clearnet website, whatever .net, .com, .org or other TLD for haxnode you find, it's a fake site with malware. It's like with old scene groups like skidrow.

Their releases are available on trackers like 1337x.to, look for ones with comments and seeds.

Is 1337x suddenly forcing other anons to download a vpn before you can use it? If I click the “download without vpn” option nothing happens but if I click “get free vpn” it takes me to a pretty sketchy looking page with flashing lights saying “A VPN IS REQUIRED TO USE 1337x”. I never needed one since I’ve been using this site but it’s also been a couple weeks since I’ve torrented anything from here. Did the actual site move somewhere and I’m on a fake one now or what?

Why do I only seed while I'm downloading? I rarely see any of my torrents seeding by itself

>>1291097

It supposedly has a vetting program to mark trusted uploaders, but its admins are genuine retards, so I wouldn't trust that.

For example, the site has its own ddos "protection" that triggers even if you're signed in, can trigger in the middle of browsing a category/search query, and upon completion takes you to completely random category, disregarding your query. It had been reported in a bug thread, but admin instead started typing in broken English that the site is "very big, lots of growth, we are not insignificant", ignoring the bug.

If you trust that kind of sped with verifying other users' uploads, that's on you.

>>1291181
I figured it out. I just followed this tutorial ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-ds7ESYUjE ), set ltconfig to High Performance Seed, and immediately went from having a few torrents labeled "seeding" and most queued to all of them labeled seeding and 6 actively sharing.

most likely an ip leak, do you have a killswitch set up on your vpn? if you use qbittorrent it also has a killswitch in the settings that stops all torrents whenever you disconnect from your vpn.

Solutions from easy to hard:

or BitTorrent (ads, and closed source)
2) running a VM with for example linux in it (and then the clients on that system.)

Bros, does anyone have the actual store version of Minecraft? I mean the actual minecraft.net release straight from the store that lets you play on most servers (thinking of 2b2t) with an actual account, NOT the cracked/tlauncher version. Also, which version of Minecraft (java/bedrock/etc) for win11 supports cross-platform with PE (Android)? I was thinking of playing co-op with my brother

Is RuTracker entirely safe?

I’m trying to waste as much bandwidth as possible in short amounts of time while supporting the bt protocol. Does anyone have suggestions for certain (qBittorrent) settings I could use or torrents I could seed for optimal upload speeds? I’m planning to port forward sometime but don’t quite know how to get that set up.
I can occasionally get to 1.5mb/s up, but only when I have a lot of active uploads.
If any faster speeds are unattainable, I’d still greatly appreciate hashes for popular torrents with a high amount of leechers.

If the question would be: you need a VPN for a "small" file (<1GB) for a single use in several months.
Maybe you want to have a look at

This should not be seen as an ad, it is for the many times I saw users asking for a free VPN.

No but I've recieved multiple DMCA letters from my ISP. One of them was for 1918 and the other was for Tropic Thunder, funnily enough. This was only a couple years ago. There was a bug with my VPN provider that let packets through even though there was a kill switch. They patched it but still sucked. Luckily have moved since.

There are very few movies in 1440p simply because it's not the standard. The standard sizes are:
(UHD=4k) for big TVs
(FHD=1080P) for small normal TVs and monitors
(HD=720p) for tablets or those who want to conserve internet and not play vids in FHD
(SD=480p) for small phones.

Movies are usually shot in 4K nowadays and downscaled to 1080p or upscaled to 8k(if possible).

Very few people have TVs or monitors that have native 1440p res.


Cracking is basically modifying the license files and injecting them with a bogus license that works. Most of the time the cracked software stops working if you update it.

Is the server facing the internet (reachable) ?
If so, I would argue the use was done from the server.
Do you know if any exploits are currently working against your server setup?
If the server is not the problem, try to find out which device was owned.
... thinking about it, do you use a torrent client which had the problem with a unsecured
web interface? A vulnerable client and no vpn could be the problem too.

Is there any way to have the "downloaded" match either the total size of the file or read zero?

The reason the numbers are wacky is because I renamed a bunch of files, removed the torrents from QB because retard, readded the torrents by finding them online, changed torrents' location path, and finally did a "force recheck" because I assume that's what should be done.

I've scraped all the magnet links from Nyaa and I want to get the metadata for each torrent without starting to download the files themselves.

Is it possible to have just the metadata downloaded without starting any files themselves? I'd like to have a library of dormant torrents that show a list of the files within each, but with a txt file of 36k+ magnet links, I'm not going to stop each torrent manually once the file list is downloaded.

Should I just be using a different client? Is there a way to do this with a headless client? I have better than average grasp of tech and can script some things out.

this isnt really a question but more of a request from a dumb newfag.
i got this picrelated torrent a few years ago and stopped seeding because it had a bunch of seeds at the time. just recently i saw someone requested something similar on another thread and thought i'd check it and apparently it now has 0 seeds and when i started reseeding it had 27 peers at 0%. I left it on overnight and now there's 68 peers trying to get it but my dumbass home connection apparently doesnt want to connect to any of them.

it's a pretty great torrent (siterip of all gamefaqs text files up to 2021) and i can't upload it to anyone via bittorrent, so i thought maybe someone here can get it from this file host and reseed it for a bit on my behalf.

heres the magnet and filehost addresses for the files, excuse my retardation doing them all separately, i'm not good with computer.

oh good to know.

Is there any sites that are exclusively amateur torrents? I've been looking for megapacks or just single videos of real maids fucking. Whether it be in a hotel, at home, or wherever. As long as shes employed as a maid and sleeping with a guy while on the job. I'd settle for escort / massage videos too. Race doesnt matter.

>>1297046
you probably have your ports closed. Google it, it's one of the most common problems retarded zoomers have.

>>1297112
Have you never heard of private torrent trackers before that you're puzzled by this?
Yes you need to have an account there, and you can only download with an account. The tracker keeps track of your upload/download ratio and enforces other things like minimum required seeding time or rewards for seeding a lot, all of which overall contribute to the longevity of torrents, as opposed to some public place like TorrentGalaxy where everything older than ~3 years is fucking dead with no seed in sight. Typically the "recognition" of the user by the torrent tracker is achieved by having a unique announce URL, so if you give your .torrent files to your friend then he will trash your ratio.
Most private trackers are also closed/gated and you can't just simply "make an account" there. Find someone who will invite you there. It's an (ideally) self-selecting community/network of people who are trusted to be at least somewhat adequate. Although a tracker can be permanently open for registration, too, like Rutracker once was a while back (private tracker with forced registration and ratio counting, but open for everyone - they went fully public a few years ago)
Private trackers are valued for their libraries of more rare content that is still seeded, and also for being more safe DMCA-wise (if you live in a country where it's a concern).

I can't believe I'm the only one who is doing this or posting about it. I watch my downloads in two ways
Wireless:
Old win7 lap
Turn on Windows Media Streaming in the Network and Sharing Center
Enable Smart TVs or other devices.
My LGs and Samsung TVs have media player apps that play videos in the Win 7 Home Video folder as set in Windows Media Player.
No wires. No cable connections. 100% wifi.
The only catch is no subtitles will transmit over wi-fi (or at least I haven't gotten them to work)
Solution is to encode subs into video with Handbrake

and
Wired:
Downloads all go on a usb thumb drive or ssd mobile drive
Plug movie drive into usb ports on Smart LGs, Samsungs.
Play movies with TV media player app
Subtitles will work in most cases as long as they are the same exact name of the file (except for file extension, usualy .smt) and it's in a folder with the video file.
Obviously great for taking movies with you on the go and no computer needed. Just a friend or family's Smart TV.

Okay ill bite, when you wanna install a movie, theres some extra info, such as

encoded with x265 in HEVC and AAC 7.1
Encoded using the time consuming 2 pass, 10 bit color at 6000 kbps

etc, what are these things exactly, in specifics? and also, what makes some of these movies bigger some smaller than others, despite being 1080p?

>>1299406
lmao, this guy doesn't even know how to install a movie

>>1299406
Encoding type means the type of compression that was used. The only time it matters is when you're trying to watch it on some kind of USB stick that you plug to your TV or a smart TV, since they might not support it. iphones also don't support certain codecs because niggercattle that use them don't deserve a functional device.

AAC is an audio codec, 7.1 means it supports up to a 7.1 surround audio setup (but can be played on worse ones, like simple stereo or mono). Same restrictions as above apply.

The rest are just technical details for people to jerk off over, because their 10bit encode is 0.4575% better than an 8bit encode. You won't see any difference unless you're specifically looking for a reason to complain.

Kbps is bitrate, which means how much data is "spend" on every second of a movie. This is essentially what makes two 1080p encodes vastly different in size - the higher the bitrate, the more data is used to store each frame. More data = sharper image, less artifacts, bigger size.

99.9% of the time the only player you need to have installed on your PC is MPC-HC or VLC to watch everything on the market without any issues whatsoever.

What format should I use, ExFAT or NTFS, and what should the unit allocation size be? Should this be different between the 1tb hdd and 5tb hdd? Is smaller or bigger cluster size (unit allocation size right?) better?

Does anyone know how to Turn DVDs into actual digital video formats where they can then be made into a torrent. Asking for a friend (picrel)

>>1299655
have you tried >>1299026 ?

also on that note, there are a lot of torrent sites out there and not all of them are english language or popular on english language internet but have content you wouldn't find anywhere else, is there a proper way to torrent files on unknown sites without risking a virus?

say this show https://d.pianbar.cc/btshow/3648730
no idea what anyone's saying but i still want to torrent it because i can't find it anywhere else. would setting up a virtual machine and going through the usual torrenting process be the right way to check the file's safety? i know it would work, i just mean would it be overkill if i'm only torrenting movies and tv and not anything with an executable.

is there a terminal based torrent client that isn't rtorrent or a fork there of?

since you're so tech illiterate you can't even go to google dot com and search for "windows dvd rip" I'll spoonfeed ya! Open vlc (I hope you're not so illiterate I have to gib you a how to install) and press Media > Convert/Save, change opptions if you wish, select files/disc and hit save.
Note: it's one of the slowest though simplest tools for the job, I looked for some tools [spoiler]I fucking HATE proprietary software, especially when it charges money,[/spoiler] and handbrake is a good choice, but if the discs have DRM you have to download a file and that's just too much for the average person.

NTA, not exactly, there's more to minecraft than a single jar. there are two types of clients (to my limited understanding) online and offline, online's the regular one, while offline is what you use if you don't have internet. now the cracked variety is just setting the client into permanent offline mode and not forcing authentication (as has happened to me when I didn't have stable enough internet for a few months and the launcher forced a login on me). if you run your own minecraft server, you can set it into offline mode via the config.txt and anyone can join regardless of client type, I do not, however know of any java versions that support crossplay with bedrock eddition (unless we're talking custom servers), and don't bother with LEET, the minecraft versions are archived by mojang(now microshaft) and are publicly accessable (not available, you need to know the URL), just use a "cracked" client like UltimMC or ATLauncher.

Genuinely uncompressed video is EXTREMELY HUGE, for 1080p it's many gigabytes per minute (not a typo). It's extremely impractical. No one uses that, typically not even professional-grade cameras, let alone formats for consumers. Uncompressed lossless video is a thing, but it has an extremely small range of niche contexts where it makes sense to use it. Real-life footage of real people and scenery using real-life cameras with optics doesn't require uncompressed footage, because a lot of stuff in the frames is technically "meaningless noise" (for example, think of leaves on a tree - does it really matter to your eye if every single leaf is described and shown 100% exactly how it is?).

Types of information such as video and audio can be compressed in a LOSSY way, which is different from putting it into .zip or .rar archives. Lossy compression deliberately removes some parts of the video or audio data, in such a way that your eyes and ears (almost) don't notice it but this enables the information to be compressed quite a lot.

If it's done well, you won't notice anything. If it's done poorly, you'll see "compression artifacts"; in the video, it often looks a bit like classic poorly made jpegs.

There are different algorithms that were invented over time (such as H264 aka AVC, or H265 aka HEVC) and different ways to use them to achieve good results. In general, there is a triangle of three things: time, quality, and resulting file size - and you can only choose two out of three, or some balance between them. You can't expect a fucking miracle, like some excellent looking 1 GB rip of a 2 hour movie in 1920x1080 resolution, but with more adequate goals good compression is achievable. Which is why a typical H264 bluray rip is some 7-15 GB and usually looks "fine" on a computer monitor, even though the original stream on the bluray is ~30 GB.

The other anon who responded to you is also correct about specific specs, but this here is the general gist of compresson.

>>1292950
Flac is a lossless encode of the SOURCE. Nothing is lost in the encoding process, but what the source was is up to you to check and/or trust. If one of them is from some shitty source then it can be smaller because stuff like upconverts from mp3 compress quite well.

Also, there is a setting in flac (level) that balances the time it takes to compress into flac and the resulting file size. There is no difference in audio quality, it's still the same exact set of 1s and 0s of the waveform.

But a difference of 500 MB is fucking huuuuuuuge because a typical album (CD-length) is under 600 MB in flac. Something's not right here.

Can it be that one of those uploads has ultra HQ artwork scans embedded into each individual track?

>>1299696
The single best thing that you can do for purposes of archiving and preserving information, for yourself and for future generations (unironically), is NOT to rip them into a compact .avi DVD-rip, but to upload them as full DVDs. Then, someone who cares and who knows better than you can make small DVDrips if they wish.

Consider this for an analogy: suppose you have a rare audio CD, out of print and all that, highly sought by some people online. Sure, you can make a MP3 rip of it, but why not share the original quality? This CD will rot or break sooner or later, archive it into FLAC while you still can. At any random point in time, you - or anyone else - will be able to convert that bit-perfect FLAC into MP3 if they want, but you can't restore the original quality from an MP3 rip.

Same principle applies to your DVDs. Frankly, DVD is a shitty format by 2024 standards and there is no particular reason to enshittify it further into some 1.37 GB .avi XviD rip.

If the DVDs have no DMCA-whatever-copy protection, you can literally just treat them as a folder. Put it into your CD tray, copy the contents from the disc into a folder, voila. It's directly watchable using MPC-HC or any other player. The big .VOB files are individual parts of a video (split into 1 GB chunks), the .IFO files right before them (in alphabetical order of files) are "playlist" to play the video from several 1 GB chunks uninterrupted as a single video.

If the DVDs *DO* have copy protection, google how to copy the files from such a disc into a folder on your HDD. I'm sure it's trivial in 2024 with some small free utility which Just Works (tm).

>>1299896
well I checked it, and it don't work. I use rtorrent so that *might* be the culprit. the first error is the wss protocol tracker ath the end, I don't know what that's about so I cut it out, then I couldn't connect to either of the trackers listed, neither openbittorrent not opentrackr was reachable. try another tracker (or perhaps I should, I'm no torrent enthusiast, just a network admin so I'm outta the loop)

I have problems downloading certain files while others works fine. I can't connect to any seeds/peers while other anon claim these downloads work fine for them. So I asume that this is a location problem between me and the seeds/peers?

>>1299945
Here's a question that you need to ask yourself before dealing with the technical issues.
Spongebob, one of the most well-known modern animated series. You think uploads of it in every quality don't exist on well-known public-facing torrent trackers?
You think someone would seek a collection of Spongebob in a random thread on 4chan instead of going to TGX or 1337 or Rutracker or any other well-known source?
Even if some of the stuff in your collection is fairly unique and missing from popular uploads, you think anyone has a chance of discovering it here?
You think someone would want to download fourteen fucking seasons at once, as one torrent / one folder, which I'm guessing is hundreds of gigabytes?

The best thing that you can do if you want to ensure the longevity of your material is:
- Find popular existing uploads on torrent trackers and join them (download them and keep seeding, or if the content matches exactly down to every single bit then let the torrent client check it and join the swarm as a seeder right away)
- If you have something unique and rare on your hands, then go to some popular tracker with a section for this kind of content and create a proper upload there, with a name and description and other stuff, so that other people can discover it there. This is what being an uploader actually means. Same with the vast majority of other anons from other threads that I see here. Someone spent time putting together a collection of photo sets and videos of some Met-Art model? Great, unironically good work, but go to Pornolab and upload it there with a description and samples and shit. THAT's how you ensure that your torrent survives for years, and that it will be downloaded by more than 2 people.

I assure you that absolutely no one on earth is going to prefer a random newbie anon's magnet link to a collection in fuck knows what quality over existing well-structured, well-described uploads on established trackers.

>>1300029
>You think uploads of it in every quality don't exist on well-known public-facing torrent trackers?
If they do, I couldn’t find them. The one I based my torrent off of is one that I downloaded from Pirate Bay that was seasons 1-13 in 1080p, around 230gbs. But upon closer inspection I discovered several duplicate episodes that took the place of other episodes, 75% of the episodes were stuck in dual episode format which doesn’t jive well with Plex(and I’m assuming other Plex like software), and many episodes were named as one episode but were actually a whole different one. Also season 11 was just completely fucked up with errors that I had to just find that season on its own and replace the one in the original torrent. The only torrents I could find anywhere online of season 14 were episodes 10 and 11 so I went to KimCartoon and used a video downloader to grab them from off there to complete the collection.
>Even if some of the stuff in your collection is fairly unique and missing from popular uploads, you think anyone has a chance of discovering it here?
Yeah? I’ve downloaded lots of series from here that I couldn’t easily find on piratebay or 1337x. If there’s another pre-split correctly named collection of the complete SpongeBob series in HD I am not aware of where it is.
>You think someone would want to download fourteen fucking seasons at once, as one torrent / one folder, which I'm guessing is hundreds of gigabytes?
Absolutely yes, as I do this all the time. I downloaded all 15 seasons of Supernatural in 1080p at once and it was around 500gbs. Is that weird? Hell I downloaded a 1.2 TB collection of just Hitomi Tanaka porn once from here.

- web-dl from Amazon, specifically the region that has the best bitrate/quality; your comment about sizes makes me think that they probably both have the same scene release as a source
- I'm not personally familiar with Spongebob but a quick search tells me that it was never released on bluray, which is very common, so webdls are the best thing you'll get (direct stream captures, not screen recordings)
- original audio preserved
- added the official Rus and Ukr dubs (expected since Rutracker has it in their rules, you can simply ignore those extra audio tracks)
- well-seeded and likely to stay this way for decades, just like almost anything on Rutracker, which is a huge advantage of that tracker
- episode order/numbers are in accordance with the official production numbers (quote from the description there)
- curated and released by someone who is clearly a big fan of the show and manages the creation of the fanmade alt translation

> Is that weird?
Yeah bc the vast majority of people don't have that much free space on their drives, only a small number of enthusiasts do. And very few are willing to seed those ~230 gigs at once. A dozen per-season torrents, each of them a reasonable size, will be seeded for far longer and by more people than the absolute gigawhale of a torrent with the entire show. I've seen it countless times on all sorts of trackers.

I mean, you're a Spongebob expert and I'm not so if you know what you're doing and my arguments don't hold up for you then I won't push. But I still feel that you've almost completely redone someone's already done work for a much smaller potential audience.

>>1300087
Yeah season 10 was the shortest season by far because half the crew was working on a movie. The torrent I fixed uses the Amazon versions as well. I just wanted to share it with any other cartoon/spongebob enthusiast on /t/ mainly, I didn’t really expect people to seed it or anything. It was such a headache splitting and editing everything I just wanted to save anyone else as ocd about having everything perfect on Plex perfect like me their time. Also I figured most people here have bigass external hardrives like me being the torrent board and all..

>>1300106
Since that earlier comment I've checked and apparently almost all Spongebob episodes consist of two stories or "segments". Is this what you were splitting? But it seems that pretty much everyone on the internet universally considers these segments to be a single episode in terms of counting in episode lists and releasing on torrents.

>Also I figured most people here have bigass external hardrives like me being the torrent board and all..

Sure but a 200+ GB torrent is a fucking chore to deal with still. Typically there are a few very dedicated datahoarders who keep and seed even stuff they don't care about, but anyone even a bit more normal wouldn't keep that. They'd keep seeding *smaller* per-season torrents though, and that's how these smaller ones will be kept alive by the larger swarm for longer.

I'm slowly working on a complete Gemma Arterton collection, keeping the highest quality versions (ideally complete blurays) but also maintaining a database of the best public options for different qualities, where "best" = typically best-seeded (on public trackers). I expect it to be ~1.5 TB or so. A collection of 1080p bluray rips or webdls would be in the ballpark of 500-600 GBs I guess. But I don't expect anyone to care about a torrent of this size featuring all her movies at once. It will be a neat organized table with no-hassle direct links to grab any of her movies in the desired quality. Picrel is an early wip sketch (even the magnet links in the screenshot are temp placeholders). I'll have it as a local database from which a static html page, or a 4chan barebones txt post, can be generated.

So what is the reason that sites like 1337x, RARBG, etc, get so fucked by hosting providers for sharing torrent links, but this place doesn't despite being far bigger and given frequent mainstream media attention? MagnetDL only provides links, as is the case here, and yet still got in trouble with its own provider a few years ago.
Even if the site is run out of some underground Bulgarian bunker with hosting that doesn't need to abide by US laws, shouldn't ISPs still be pushed to ban known torrent-sharing/piracy websites? Mega files that are posted here get taken down sometimes if they're not Base64 encoded so it's not like the companies don't know.

thanks for clarifying

Why isnt there a torrent of the hobbit movies at 48fps? Surely the studio could release the movie digitally at a high fps

>>1300390
48 fps isn't supported by Blu-Ray, not even the newer UHD/HEVC Blu-Ray. There's only 50, 60 and 59.97. Classic FullHD / BD25 & BD50 blurays didn't even support 25 fps progressive, which is why European productions that had something to do with TV, like TV series or TV movies, could only be released as 25 interlaced.

Now, of course, a video player application running on a computer can play a video at any random fps, but 48 fps looks REALLY REALLY FUCKING BAD on 60 Hz screens. Jittery in the worst ways as if you're constantly having microfreezes. Even 50 fps videos look better. You can somewhat easily adapt 24 fps to 60 refreshes (with a 3:2 pulldown or some version of it), but 48->60 just straight up looks bad.

I imagine 48->120 would be better (mathematically it's the same ratio as 24->60), but many TVs and monitors are 60 Hz, and most definitely were 60 Hz around the time of Hobbit.

Just generally speaking, you can get away with so much more when your output device is a projector that can show any random-ass resolution and any random-ass fps. Home screens, with a preset resolution and refresh rate, place a lot of constraints.

There is a somewhat similar, though distinctly different, issue with the resolution. Movies are typically mastered in 2048xN px, or 4096xN px for "4K". Or some other "roughly 2000" number for certain aspect ratios, but notice that these numbers aren't 1920 and 3840. It's not an issue with HQ copies for movie theaters (DCI), because a projector will output your 2048x852 video with pixel-perfect precision and will project it onto the canvas. But for home screens, it gets resized to 1920x800 with black bars. This of course reduces the clarity a bit, although you lose quite a lot of it from compression already.

>>1300399
that makes perfect sense, thank u very mnuch

Why are so many movie bluray rips by scene groups made to be specifically 6.55 GiB (give or take some megabytes)? It's weirdly consistent between all kinds of releases. What is this magic number, exactly?

What does the peers and seeders mean when you look at it on the tra ker urls tab? Because i see several ones when i look at the tab but when i look at my actual torrent theres none but myself.

Thanks anons (not him).

>>1300351
I'm a retard but here's how I explain it:
It's cat and mouse, but with an overly administrative cat that must jump through loops of bs (property owners), and can only catch the mouse through another administrative cat (isp) that care on paper but really doesn't as long as it's being paid and isn't brought to court every day, to catch a mouse that is in fact thousands of mice that just need a computer and a website to share a bit of text between each other (magnets) to share the content on their hard drive.
None of them have the resource to check all data going through the internet pipes, so the only thing they can do is wait for a piracy whale to appear (megaupload, piratebay, rarbg, ...) and flag it.
Then launch their administrative operation that must be fucking long and not fun.
Then wait for the authorities to do the deed and close the site.
I'm sure it's been optimized by now and they can do it faster, but it's always a reaction to an action, and I doubt it can be automated. /g/fags please explain if I'm wrong).
ISPs are "pushed" in the way that they face fines and buraucratic bs, but they can't be prosecuted for being """incompetent""" with their """search""".
It may be projecting on my part, but I wouldn't be surprised if ISP employees torrent too. It's fun and it's free.

>Is 2GB too low?
Way way too low, and the only people online who claim otherwise are those who watch stuff on their phones (where the physically small screen makes the compression artifacts less noticeable) or those who have no standards and/or little experience watching digital movies on a monitor so that they simply don't know better. And also the young generation who grew up with streaming, typically US streaming, which has absolute dogshit bitrates with some rare exceptions, and so they are accustomed to this specific low-quality look that they see on their Netflix and, again, they don't know better.

It's like Jean Claude van Damme posting this horrifying "AI enhanced" old throwback photo to his Facebook, and not noticing that this looks awful. Because he's a dumb boomer, because he's using his phone with a small screen, because due to his age and lack of autism he never, not once in his life, paid attention to how digital images on various screens look.

... Also of course there are some people who can't afford wasting gigabytes of internet traffic for one reason or another. Fair enough.

Most bluray rips that aren't made to be "mini" rips are something like 6-15 GiB. A longer movie quite obviously requires more space than a shorter movie to be at the same quality. A highly dynamic movie with transformers and explosions needs more space (desu it's better to say more bitrate, more kilobits per second) than a calm drama with soft colors where not much happens on the screen.

Don't sweat the specific numbers, bluray rips online quite neatly fall into these two categories of "roughly 6-15 GB ones" and "mini rips below 3 GB". Making a re-encode / bluray rip is not something that an average random dumbfuck Joe does, so the vast majority of rips are made by people who have at least some idea of why they are making the rip and what they plan to achieve.

if I have a magnet link or torrent file, is there any way to save the metadata (file list and directory structure) to a text file without actually downloading the torrent?

i remember stumbling across a list of IP ranges from china/india/turdworld countries etc that was used to block connections but i cant find it anymore and i didn't download it at the time
anyone know of one or where to look?

I have been downloading movies and i would like to be able to play them on my PS5. I know you have to put them in a folder labeled Videos to do it. But most of the torrents i download are mkv and sometimes audio wont play. And some of the movies are japanese with subtitles and i cant enable the subs.

So what is the best way to convert these files to something that a PS5 will play? I am assuming MP4 is the best way to go. I tried a few programs and the only one i can get to kinda work is Aiseesoft Video Converter. But the free version dont work and the pro version will only convert 5 minutes. I tried looking for a torrent of Aiseesoft Video Converter Ultimate with a key generator but none of them are working.

wat do?

I found out its possible to directly rip FLACs from Qobuz and Deezer, is there any reason to torrent music or use soulseek if its available on those services? Seems like a waste of time to me, wish I knew this before I wasted a bunch of time attempting to reaquire my library in FLAC off rutracker.

>>1301697
for 1080p probably H264 would work best, for 4K H265 and if it doesnt play mkv try mp4.
Only use Handbrake and ffmpeg, you don't need anything else, all the paid ones just repackage open source tools with a flashy UI.

Use a VPN if you live in a shithole and the biggest one you can afford, get 2 to have a backup.

>>1298469
Most VPNs should have a “killswitch” option or something similar in name that you need to turn on. Internet isn’t a solid stream of connection, like plugging a keyboard into a computer, it’s more like a wave that goes up and down with connection strength. Sometimes for a split second it will dip too low and your VPN disconnects showing your real IP. You never notice this with anything else because most things will just take an extra second to load, but with VPN you need it to always be connected or have killswitch turned on

>>1299914

>>1301796
probably yeah, if that's what you're after it may be better to use the direct FLAC ripping tool, but my main reason for using soulseek is that it has lots of people's random shit so it can have demo tapes or live albums or even just new things to listen to by downloading an entire folder of assorted genre or billboard year-end songs. also with things like video game OSTs i go on soulseek or just use yt-dlp on a playlist with youtube

MKV and MP4 are not formats (not variants of video encoding), they are containers. Inside them, there are video streams encoded with H264 or XviD or whatever you want. 99% of movies on torrents that are 720p and 1080p are in H264 so codec isn't an issue.

Don't use "converters". Use something like Avidemux (free and cross-platform) or any other similar software to literally remux/repack the problematic MKVs into MP4s (if this is indeed the issue in your case) without any reencoding of the video whatsoever.

If audio still doesn't play because it's in some advanced codec that your PS5 doesn't understand, in that case you can reencode the audio - into AAC or whatever you need - without reencoding the video. This can be done in that same Avidemux.

If you go with Avidemux, in the main window there are two blocks on the left, what to do with video and what to do with audio. For video, keep the default option "Copy" (= don't reencode). For audio, switch it to the codec that you want and configure the settings with the button below. Then, below audio, there is a container option where you can pick mkv/mp4/etc.

>>1301796
>is there any reason to torrent music or use soulseek if its available on those services?
The release can have different versions in different sources. Anything from a different tracklist to a different mastering. Especially be very wary around different modern re-releases of old singles/albums, the probability of a different master is pretty high and maybe it's something that's important to you.
Otherwise, you're correct.

>Toei not attacking every random kid on DeviantArt who draws Goku

It's generally accepted now by most companies that going after random fan art or fan cosplay etc is bad for PR, even if technically the company is legally in the right. Fan works that generate like 1-5 bucks for the artist - if that - are free advertisement for your IP, and you'll spend more money on the salary of your corporate lawyers than you can ever hope to get out of that infingring criminal in court.

But this is a relatively recent status quo. Even text fanfics are a fairly new thing (compared to the age of the modern concept of copyright), and back when they were first appearing, they were not taken kindly by IP owners.

Also, idk the average age of the 4chan poster in 2024, but kids these days probably don't know that even posting videos of gameplay to youtube or elsewhere wasn't always approved by videogame companies until like 2010 or so.

>>1302100
i obviously meant downloading from from soulseek. i'm sure there are a ton of torrents for the music i listen to spread across different sites i'd have to go hunting for but people are far more willing to just link a folder on their pc than to generate a torrent and keep seeding it or whatever, especially if i'm just after one song or album and not an entire discography.

>>1302101

That's not what he wants to do, he wants to save the file/directory structure inside the torrent to a TEXT FILE.

While software for doing this to real files and folders exists, I don't think I ever heard of this thing but adapted to .torrent files.

>>1301578
Therefore your best bet is to open the .torrent file with this or that bencode editor (google them) and see if some of them support what you want.

Also, just so you know, a magnet link doesn't contain any file lists at all. When your torrent client is fed a magnet link, it starts asking around (through the embedded tracker or through DHT) if anyone has heard of a torrent with this hash as stated by the magnet link, then your client downloads the .torrent and then it finally has the file structure and all the other stuff that comes with the .torrent. A magnet link is basically a handy way to handle torrents if you don't want to mess with .torrent files, but it's not a replacement for a .torrent file. It's more like a "description" of a torrent file which your client gets from other peers.

when I add it in qbit it grabs the metadata and shows the file list before downloading, but there's no way to copy paste it all. maybe there's another client that can do that?
>>1302304
thanks for the explanation. I'll look into bencode editors.

the reason I wanted to do this in the first place is because there's a 1tb torrent with tens of thousands of files that I plan to update and add to, but I don't actually have the space to download it rn. if I had a text file with the file list I could start going through and making notes, checking what needs to be updated etc. in a much quicker and cleaner way than if I was just reading off the metadata list in qbit.

I should really just go buy a new drive so I can download it though lol

some websites let you download music/images/videos by going into inspect element and viewing the network connections media tab.

happymod dot com

How safe are these paid APK mods? Are they actually it, or is it some form of malware? From my understanding, paid services are now host based, not on the app itself DRM style.

>>1302328
You need yt-dlp as linked by the other anon. Read its tutorial or watch a few videos to learn to use it.

It supports a lot of well-known sites out of the box. And if there's a random-ass website that yt-dlp doesn't "know about", then chances are very good that this website still uses some classic method to send you the video. Typically in 2024, it's in the form of a playlist file (usually .m3u8) which contains small sections of the video, and the player on the page plays them seamlessly. Then, you find the link to that playlist file using the browser's Dev Tools (press F12 unless you changed the keys), and feed it to yt-dlp. It will parse this playlist file, download the chunks and combine them into one video, just like it does with youtube and others. To learn how to use Dev Tools to find the media files that are loaded when the page loads, watch some tutorial on youtube, because it will be pretty retarded to explain every quick for every browser through text.

I know torrents have a reputation for being shady and dangerous, but has this ever been truer than any other form of file transfer online, or is this just because of torrenting's proximity to TPB?
Similarly, how likely is it that I could click on a magnet link and then it ends up being something like CP/snuff/gore that some shithead's kept in their seedbox to fuck with people? Like, I hear that altchans die a lot of the time because they get flooded with CP, so what's the possibility that someone makes a torrent sharing site that has someone sneaking illegal torrents on that mods can't even notice without torrenting every single magnet posted?

>How am I supposed to build seed points if no one downloads the files I'm seeding?

Usually you should be more concerned about gigabytes of upload. Upload / download = ratio. Terrible ratio = restrictions on your account or eventual ban.

"Seed points" (or any other similar wording, bonus points or whatever) sounds like a system on your tracker to reward the act of staying as a seeder and keeping the torrent alive even when no one is downloading, because this is important for longevity of torrents. You can see it as something like "0.1 points per torrent per hour" or similar. Depends on the tracker. There can also be other ways you can accumulate points. Often you can then exchange these points for GBs of upload or other perks.

> only to get banned for not seeding when I turn my pc off? Am I doing something wrong

Yeah you're clearly doing something wrong, misread something, or aren't telling the full story. I can't think of any tracker that would require seeding 24/7 or a given number of hours per day. There are usually rules to seed a torrent for X amount of hours/days in total, but you're free to spread that over as many days as you want.

> Also, do most people download blu ray remuxes when they want to watch a movie?

No. But I seed some kinos, especially rare ones, in the best quality that is available. If the sources of the old 6 GB bluray rip die in the future, you can always create a new rip from the full bluray / remux. But you can't restore the original full quality remux from the small rip. When it comes to preserving stuff so that it can be found and downloaded in 2040, it's most reasonable to care about the preservation of the best quality version.

> Do you delete the file immediately after watching

Stuff that I don't care about and was for a one-time viewing? Yes, or after the required seeding period runs out. But most "not obscure" flicks can be easily found in public sources which have no such seeding rules and no way to enforce them.

Thanks for the insight, I actually have a great ratio in my qb app due to seeding several hundred gigabyte Dragon Ball torrents for years but as soon as I joined a private tracker for wrestling stuff, I couldn't get anyone to seed anything and I couldn't build any sort of ratio at all.

This post >>1297378 explains why people prefer to go to, and share on, private trackers, but I'm still not quite sure why people would ONLY post certain media to private trackers when it's something more obscure.
Is there any reason you couldn't just post to both your l33t club and also some public site? even if the torrent dies eventually I don't see why it would be preferable to locking it behind a community. If it's gonna fuck up your seeding ratio that much, would it take up that much space to just make a duplicate torrent for any media that isn't readily available elsewhere to share to the public?

>>1291465

>>1302890
DDLs have exactly the same issue, though. you could download vlc.exe from softped.ia.com rather than softpedia.com and suddenly find your PC encrypted and asking for $500 USD in bitcoins
the difference with torrenting is, if theres 2,000 other people downloading, seeding, commenting, etc about something, it's probably more legit.

the image of torrenting being scary and full of malware is twofold, one of which is legit the other isn't.

to start, TPB went broke in like 2009, so every iteration since has been a bootleg run by this or that group for this or that reason. some of them were legit, some were full of malware, and since they keep disappearing and popping up it's impossible to track who is who and what is whay. same goes for similarly large sites like KAT and more recently, rarbg (RIP).
to some degree this also stems from the original p2p clients, eg limewire and all those, as many people would just rename a file to brittany_spears.mp3 as a joke but in reality it's bill clinton. but that's not anytjing directly related to torrenting, just a general fear of filesharing

the second thing is propoganda. many companies will try to tell you aboud how dangerous torrenting is to sell you a solution. Buy our malware scanner! buy our VPN! buy the original media! and so on. most of it's snake oil, some of it is just jumping on the train. VPNs are very useful for totrenting if you want to hide the traffic from your ISP or obfuscate your IP from the swarm, but really offer no protection past that.

over time the two blend together and now theres a lot of misunderstanding and misinformation about it blended in with real threats if you aren't careful.

>so what's the possibility that someone makes a torrent sharing site that has someone sneaking illegal torrents
it's definately possible but the good trackers have very autistic and overzealous mods thay wouldn't let this happen. plus, theres always private trackers if you want to be 100% sure

all torrents need a tracker, but you can add your IP as a tracker for either public or private torrents.
if you don't specify a tracker to seed on, theres no way any clients can "track" where to get the files from.
thay said, if you do specify a tracker to seed on, clients might not need to specify a tracker to download from, as some modern clients can search public trackers for a matching hash. but you still need a tracker, always, even if it's your IP.

on a given website it's usually not real-time, but peers are clients in the swarm and seeds are clients that are uploading. leechers are only downloading.
if there are seeds but none of them are on your client, it's because you aren't able to connect to them for any number of reasons. low seed ratio om that tracker making you lower priority, your IP is chinese, russian or israeli and therefore blocked by most people, bad neteorl confif, etc etc

Is it a bad idea to use the pirate bay for any of these? I wanna get it but I'm pretty worried about getting something that's gonna fuck up my PC

Smart people test cracked soft in virtual machines and often keep it there, there being little reason to want it on bare metal. Install OS, take clean snapshot, install cracked soft, test, if it fucks up revert to clean snapshot.

I've not paid for soft since 2000 and had very few problems and never had to wipe a PC, but I'm thorough because it's worth it.

Alternate option, test on your spare beater computer (no one sane has only one).
