  • What are your highest seeding ratios?

    Jump

  • If you gotta make space then you gotta make space. If it's relatively popular things then there's always gonna be someone

  • Time is essential, a high seed ratio is indication of time spent seeding more than anything else

  • My thinking is that i'll start deleting stuff when i run out of space, which it turns out will never happen because 4Tb is apparently enough to store more movies than i'll ever want to watch.

    So 2k+ movies are just sitting there passively seeding in the background and i just kinda let them. I really don't know which ones are rare, but surely i must have saved a couple torrents from dying over the years. I know there's a lot of churn in seeders so i feel good being long-term

  • They don't want people to pirate, but this is the service they want people to pay for.

  • Yeah, that's what landlords figure

  • I see a lot of older Linux distros in this thread, why do that many people download them?

  • Tixati.

    I use it mostly because it has a lot more options and flexibility, and also just because i'm already using it and it's a pain in the ass to switch

  • I started writing this comment about how my highest seeding ratios seem random, but actually now that i look at it i do see a pattern: YIFY versions of older movies. Maybe those are the ones less available? Some possibly are public domain?

  • Where can we download the Nintendo Switch emulator 'Yuzu' now?

  • As an older torrent gen, I tried Debrid for the first time.

  • I leave things up for ages. It seems like once I’ve DLed something, no one else wants it.

    Can relate

  • I download youtube videos in .mp3 format very often, both for music and to listen to as podcasts. I don't know if it's the best method but this is how i do it:

    • Use the MultiSelect extension to select multiple videos and put them in a playlist, which i name Download. This playlist has to be public.
    • Use Open Video Downloader to download this playlist, making sure that it writes the metadata in tags. If necessary, it can also download age-restricted videos by importing cookies from your browser, i've done it a couple of times but it's not convenient.
    • I pretty much leave it at that, but you could use a media tagger to add further information to the files.

  • I've been using it since I started 10 years ago, and it's always been enough

    Jump

  • People are arguing about the audio quality, meanwhile the only reason i don't do this is because i find it more work to tag and name the files properly. When you download from Soulseek/torrenting it usually comes already tagged

    I do still have youtube downloads in my library, especially when it's just one or two songs.

  • Meta mocked for raising “Bob Dylan defense” of torrenting in AI copyright fight - Ars Technica

    Jump

  • If, like me, you just wanted to know what the Bob Dylan defence is:

    "Meta's response in this case seems to be that a powerful technology corporation should not be held to the same standard as everyone else for illegal conduct."

    The authors mocked Meta for raising what they call "the Bob Dylan defense" of its torrenting, citing song lyrics from "Sweetheart Like You" that say, "Steal a little and they throw you in jail / Steal a lot and they make you king."

  • Look, the only reason we even know about Meta torrenting books is because they're getting sued. Evidently they're not getting away with it, unless they win this case

  • [YouTube] DRM on ALL videos with tv (TVHTML5) client- yt-dlp

    Jump

  • Yeah, video storage is what prevents corporations from creating YouTube competitors, and it also prevents decentralized users from competing

  • Google going bankrupt would almost certainly mean YouTube disappears. Which can happen, but it's not a good thing

  • Maybe it's time to admit that i just own a hard drive full of very, very dead torrents

  • Piracy Data: The Film and TV Industry Is No Longer Problem No. 1 in 2025 — It’s Manga

    Jump

  • I don't think ideas are the problem, it's that new forms of distribution are causing the industry to panic. Producers are making safer bets (sequels, remakes, franchises) so original ideas, which tons of people have, aren't getting funded.

    Also worth noting that producers these days are less Hollywood and more Wall Street, they don't really understand movies so they make calls based on numbers and precedent that let them estimate profitability.

  • Yeah i'll run out of space one day, but the more popular movies will be the first to go because i know i can get them again.

    Still plenty of chance for someone to seize my lonely booty

  • No, it's movies, and it's largely smaller lower-quality RARBG releases. They used to have a range of qualities available and the middle was always more popular, their highest and lowest quality releases used to be harder to seed, and that was years ago before they shut down

    Are there modern trackers for YIFY and RARBG stuff?
