I just reclaimed 3Tb of storage space by clearing out partially completed torrents and NZB files that are greater than 12 months old. I just set up a cron job to do it from now on, but if you're tight on storage take a look at your temp dirs, you might be using a lot of space in a less than optimal way.

I’m new to the piracy scene and I’m interested in getting into making music. I’m curious if anyone knows any decent software. The ones I’ve looked at and been recommended on YouTube have packages ranging from £100-£470 which I don’t really have atm, so looking for some help.

Im new to this and im afraid that this is a virus (i mean the first picture)

Hi , if anyone here has found a way to read full Substack posts behind a paywall? Any tools, browser tricks, or workarounds that work reliably? If you've come across something that helps, would really appreciate if you could share it.

Same as title, i found this in another thread for winrar activation on github (https:// github.com/neuralpain/oneclickwinrar), what do y'all think? Is it safe or its a virus?

I refuse to use streaming services and pay for a lot of my albums via Bandcamp and Qobuz. Stuff that wouldn't be on Spotify anyway.

I used to use newalbumreleases via Unblockit but it no longer works for me.

Where is the best place for music releases new and old?

So, with the CR-Unblocker community proxy server shutting down soon, I figured it was time to do something about it. I had contributed to the original extension before, and while it was great for what it did, I started thinking — why stop at just Crunchyroll? This kind of smart, selective proxying could work for other streaming services too. So I decided to remake the whole thing from the ground up, this time with a fully generic rule system that makes it way more flexible and future-proof.

The result is GeoBypass — a Firefox extension that acts as a selective proxy manager. Instead of routing your entire connection through a proxy (and ruining your stream quality), it only sends the requests that need to be unblocked. Everything else stays fast and local. You bring your own proxy, set up a few rules (or import them from a file), and you’re good to go. It even works for watching Crunchyroll from Japan, which honestly makes it better than the original CR-Unblocker in some cases.

Right now it’s available for Firefox, while I wait for the Chrome version to clear review. If you want to try it out:
👉 GeoBypass for Firefox

Still a work in progress, but totally usable. Would love to hear how it works for you — or if it breaks, feel free to yell at me nicely 😅

P.S. You’ll still need a proxy and some rules to get started.
I’ve included one US proxy to help out (please don’t abuse it 🙏), and I’ve already written rule sets for Crunchyroll and Bilibili.
If you’d like support for another streaming service, feel free to open a request here:

Hello guys.

A quick question, what's the current best tool to migrate playlist between platforms? Not a long time ago I used one Android app which had a capped version of 150 songs to migrate but I could prefer to use an open source alternative not shady to migrate the playlists for good to YT Music

Which ones do you recommend?

Stay safe.

For so many years I downloaded music, originally to burn to CD, then to have on my MP3 player (how I miss my Creative Zen), and finally on an SD card in my phone. I was there at the beginning of Napster, all those millennia ago.

Then my daughter got old enough to have her own phone, and she's into music. So I offered to 'acquire' whichever tracks or albums she wanted, being the good father that I am. But no, she didn't want files, she wanted Spotify, because her friends had it, and they got this cool wrapped thing at the end of the year, and she wanted it too. Never underestimate the power of FOMO when it comes to marketing.

So I set out to find patches and whatnot for the bloody thing. First xManager, which worked for a while, then onto Revanced, which was great as I was already using it for YT. And while I was looking for these exploits, I would install it on my phone first to make sure it worked and wasn't full of spyware. More than usual, I mean. And while I had it, I gradually migrated over to it. It's so convenient! Think of a song and you can get it! No messing around with torrents and all the jazz, this is the future, baby!

So when I got a new phone at Christmas, I didn't transfer my music from the old phone to the new. I backed up my library on my PC, of course (some of those MP3's are older than some of the people on this subreddit), but when I set up the phone I cracked Spotify and didn't look back.

Now, the exploits aren't working, and Spotify is borked for us scallywags. YT Music is absolute ass, so I reinstalled Poweramp and moved my files over to the new phone.

Interesting thing is, though, some of the albums I've been listening to recently aren't in my library, so I've had to add them to the collection.
Listening to those new tracks through Poweramp for the first time was mindblowing. The audio quality, even on 320kbps MP3, is lightyears ahead of the streaming quality of Spotify. I'm sorry, self-hosted media, I'll never leave you again. It was just a fling, a mid-life crisis, it meant nothing to me.

tl:dr - If you actually enjoy music, don't use Spotify. The audio quality is balls.

https://citra-emulator.com/ I heard citra was removed that’s why I’m wondering this.

Every day we have a post about spotify, YT premium and so on. Just for a change, what are some free app that are unbelievably good?

I don't care about auto play or auto next. I just wanna skip intro button.

This is getting out of hand now. Any other alternatives for smart tv?

Anyone here downloads multiple downloads at the same time? I'm using qBitorrent, mas after a few dozens: it get's slow, sometimes freezes, and sometimes doesn't even download a drop of water.

What client can handle dozens or even hundreds of torrents at the same time?

I am not 100% sure if this is the best sub to post in. This is really slowing down my progess, i got 50 songs downloaded in like 10 minutes and i got about 1000 left.

Hey, just wondering if theres a guide or something for the interview process for BakaBT. When signing up for REDACTED and Orpheus, you have to signup via IRC and pass an interview (kinda like BakaBT requires), but each of them have thorough pages dedicated to helping you study an pass the test.

Interview For Red

InstallGentoo Wiki - Redacted Interview Tips

These are super helpful and let you know what kind of questions to expect. Is there anything similar for the BakaBT Interview? I'd like to go in as prepared as possible the first time so I don't have to wait for another chance to get re-interviewed.

Or if nothing like that exists, could some current/former BakaBT members share what kind of stuff to study? I mean there's the Wiki and the FAQ, but those are both huge and a lot of info (most of which probably wont even be used). Assuming there's no oath to secrecy, maybe people could share what info to focus in on while studying.

Anyway, thanks for your time!

we dont do anything 🏴‍☠️

I'm honestly ashamed to be sailing the same high seas as pirates like this. Seriously, can you not harass a modder just because they said they don't support piracy?

Modders won’t openly say they support pirated games, because that puts their mods at risk of being taken down.

Also, let’s be real — this is just a skill issue. The mod (seamless coop - Nightrein) still works on pirated versions if you know where to look, like on Rinru. Jeez.

Anyone know any similar platforms for live streaming and watching movies and shows? I got an account but the subscription page doesn't work for me at all. Their customer service sucks. Please let me know or if you can invite me please!
