A few months ago I grabbed this torrent from rarbg, and it took weeks to download. Often going days with no seeders.

I finally got it, and decided I'd seed beyond my usual 2x to help others get this. Then rarbg went under, and now I think I'll just keep this one going.

Now if only torrenting wouldn't mean an automatic 500€ invoice from a very specific law firm in my country :(

For about 5€ a month you can free yourself from these risks

but who want a quite simple life :)

Just rent a seedbox.
Torrenting actively from public trackers for 14€ per month and can host the best streaming service right at home.

Real debrid. Torrent to the cloud. Everything becomes available to other users.

Does Usenet trigger the same issue?

[–] ErwinLottemann@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

No, it's just p2p that works in their favour...

can you come back and tag this post with the correct language? would be neat

[–] narp@feddit.de -1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I'm trying but the save button just loops endlessly..

What difference does it make? Aren't you able to see the comment?

[–] neo@lemmy.comfysnug.space 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's not so huge a concern right now, but it lets people that write userscripts write, say, a userscript to automatically translate a post into your preferred language from the post's language.

Such a thing would be easier if the userscript could trust that a post is set to the language it's written in.

This load circle thing is it implicitly failing due to you not having selected Deutsch as one of your languages in your profile (most likely).

There are other things it could be as well.

Interesting! I tried it a bit more:

  • I had "Undetermined", "Deutsch" and "English" selected in my profile.
  • I was able to set the comment to "Undetermined", but then still not able to set it to "Deutsch" (back to "English", worked though)
  • Changing the word "homie" didn't make a difference
  • Other comments set to "Undetermined" were able to switch to "Deutsch"
  • Other comments set to "English" (that were actually written in english) were able to switch to "Deutsch"

Seems like it's a problem with this comment in particular, but I can't figure out why!

Edit: I found another comment set to "Deutsch", written in german, that can't be changed no matter what.

[–] neo@lemmy.comfysnug.space 1 points 2 years ago

I only really write in one language so I don't have this problem, I just default to English.

But it's interesting that some posts are hard to change.

Jo, seitdem zieh ich nur noch über OCHs

[–] SeaJ@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

If you want a year subscription to Speedify, let me know. I got a year in a Humble Bundle that I never used because I have a lifetime subscription to Windscribe. Speaking of which, Windscribe allows 10GB of free transfers each month. Not much but it will get you a few movies or audio books.

sounds like pure intimidation to me.

1/ one could have "never received this letter"

2/ one could decide not to pay, and then what? will they go to court? based on what evidence?

3/ if it ever goes to court, "i don't know, i wasnt even home that day" should always work no?

i don't understand while in some countries (actually only one that i know of, Germany) people seem to be terrified by this lawyer's spam...
