Something I can agree on!

google + transmission

What are good sites for this great erm... streaming service

[–] endeavor@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago

Qbitorrent has a search function which works great for legal content.

[–] Shaper@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Torrent Client + VLC. Call me old fashioned.

[–] jcg@halubilo.social 1 points 13 hours ago

As someone who used to run a Plex server and a jellyfin server for myself (not at the same time) I'd have to agree with the sentiment. If I were trying to provide it for my less techy friends/family I'd go Jellyfin again. But for just me? Video files + samba fileshare all the way. Even lets me play the videos on my phone.

Stremio + torrentio + real debrid

[–] TheSyndZ@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I'd recommend Torbox or other debrid as Real-Debrid is under DMCA Anti Piracy Filters.

It appears its effects are invisible from now but you can expect visible changes in service in the long run.

[–] mef@lemmy.ml 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Thanks for the heads up! Glad I have only been buying monthly subs for real debrid recently. Will take a look at Torbox.I have also heard good things about premiumize.

[–] TheSyndZ@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 18 hours ago

Well Torbox had its problems when lots of Real-Debrid users migrated but now it's pretty stable ! It is pricier though but, well, it's the kind of price i'm willing to pay. Oh, and Torbox indexes and streams Usenet (as far as i can tell).

[–] Robust_Mirror@aussie.zone 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Oh snap. I just paid for 6 months. Time to start looking into my options for when it expires.

[–] dan@upvote.au 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Premiumize is good, and supports Usenet too (which is very useful for rare/unpopular content)

[–] Robust_Mirror@aussie.zone 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Thanks, I've actually been looking and that was probably my top contender so far, so it's nice to see it suggested. Twice as expensive as real Debrid is a tough sell though if I'm honest, and that's assuming I get the year upfront.

Decisions, decisions...

[–] dan@upvote.au 2 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

They do have Black Friday sales that make it a bit cheaper.

[–] Robust_Mirror@aussie.zone 1 points 19 hours ago

Ah nice. Assuming it doesn't break real Debrid will get me through to September, then I can get either a couple months of that or Premiumize to get me to Nov.

[–] dan@upvote.au 3 points 1 day ago

For a better user experience, try Weyd + Premiumize.

[–] themoken@startrek.website 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I dunno, maybe I just had crappy indexers but usenet was always more miss than hit for me. Maybe it's superior to public torrents but private trackers are the gold standard.

[–] deathbird@mander.xyz 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

How does one even get on a private server these days? (Feel free to DM)

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago

For the "low hanging" trckers: r/opensignups
From there you can pivot to higher tier trackers.
If your taste is more "normal" mid-tier trackers are usually sufficient and the requirements are still sane there.

Advice: Try to get into TL (google the name, you'll find it). Thwy usually have entrys open during all major (western) holidays like Eastern, summer, Christmas

[–] themoken@startrek.website 3 points 1 day ago

Certain ones, like music trackers, can still be interviewed into. Once you get into an initial tracker and establish yourself, it becomes easier to find / get into new ones via forum invites. It's a long road but barring a time machine it's the easiest way.

I think they forgot to list the best one. But it has these rules in the unofficial TOS that you don’t talk about it, soooo… never mind?

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 9 points 1 day ago

$0 - Lifetime subscription

[–] foremanguy92_@lemmy.ml 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Noticed that these platform's logos are very based on a round like movement

Crunchiroll: Am I a joke to you?

Yes. Yes you "arr"

[–] Landslide7648@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Just don’t do it in Germany or you’ll end up paying a lot more

[–] Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)
[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 day ago

Better answer

[–] HurlingDurling@lemm.ee 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)
[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago

Don't let yourself get caught in Germany or you'll get a lovely letter :)

[–] SnekZone@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Germany has implemtend a lot of measures against torrenting, effectively killing the entire scene. When you look on TPB, there is only like 4-5 recent movies in German. I don't know what exactly they're a doing here, but it seems to be quite effective :/

[–] Shaper@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Really? Tor or VPN dont work?

[–] SnekZone@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago

I have no clue, maybe germans just don't want to pay for stuff like that.

[–] Kualdir@feddit.nl 2 points 1 day ago

They fine people who pirate

[–] Dropper_Post@lemm.ee 6 points 2 days ago

I think majority of people do not know what torrent streaming service is. But it’s fine because we can stream more freely.

It occurs to me this could be considered a low effort post, if this isnt welcome please feel free to take it down or let me know and take it down myself, I don't wish to submit stuff that isn't a fit for the community :)

[–] theskyisfalling@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Well this exact image was posted a month ago - Here and I'm pretty sure I saw it posted before then as well.

However people are giving you the up arrows so I don't think it really matters tbh.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I believe my counter hit 5 for how long I am part of this (I wanted to write tracker) community.

Including r/piracy we are well above that.

[–] chmod755@feddit.org 5 points 2 days ago

I am seeding movies/tv shows via clearnet and i2p lmk if you're looking for smth

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

We need a fediverse sbubby version.

[–] Cris_Color@lemm.ee 1 points 1 day ago

That would be very fun
