Seems all TGx domains are down right now unfortunately.

Don’t know if this is a “new” domain or something
It's not a TGx domain, all their official ones are listed at https://proxygalaxy.me/
You're looking at a mirror site probably displaying torrents from TPB and/or 1337x.
LibreTorrent is the standard if you're looking for an open source client that works well. You can install from the Google Play Store but from what I've read it works better if you install it from elsewhere / sideload the .apk so it can better access the Android storage.
BiglyBT is also open source and available on Android (never used it myself).
There's also FrostWire, it is open source though it tries to do a bit more than just torrents so it's not always quite what people are looking for. I remember the main dev used to be active over on Reddit not sure if he ever made it over to the Lemmyverse.
A lot of people do like Flud, not open source or anything like that but it does have its fans.
Strange, are people really arguing that? Back in 2020 Alexis Ohanian resigned from the board of Reddit and asked for his seat to be replaced with a black candidate. Say what you want about the guy but he doesn't seem that out of touch with America's racial issues.

I don't have any issues with the guy but IMO the Digg thing may end up going nowhere if they're really planning on relying on AI for moderation, just seems like like a bad idea overall
The paid way to do this is is to buy something like Streamfab to download the stream directly from the source. Note for the most part you will be limited to 720p/1080p. Another paid software that used to be around was Redfox AnyStream but they went offline last year.
Only private trackers / scene would know about 2160p / 4K downloads and they're not going to share publicly about their methods.
The free method is to attempt to do the video capture yourself (see earlier comments) rather than download the stream itself.
Of course for the most part tons of content has already been downloaded by others and made available via torrents, DDL, etc.
Seems like more plebbit spam.
That's interesting, apparently it was mentioned on github but nothing seems to have changed in the end

Haven't used that software in a long time but maybe there's an opt-out somewhere during runtime? Although I don't see why a user needs to be required to opt out of nonsense like this when just writing firmware to a USB disk.
Only ever touched balenaEtcher when some project or distro recommended it. Overall prefer Rufus for this sort of thing when working on Windows.
Lots of permaseeders out there, you can be one too :)
There's no real downside as long as your ISP doesn't limit your bandwidth.
I’m getting the “moov atom not found” error even though the file is at 100%. The whole torrent isn’t at 100% yet, but I enabled sequential downloading.
Either the .mp4 is corrupt, or you need to wait for the torrent itself to finish 100% complete.
You are downloading in sequential mode, and it sounds like these .mp4 files were generated with the moov atom at the end of the file. Which means the file is cut off at the very end (aka corrupt) or the torrent itself just never finished downloading the last pieces of that .mp4 file.
At least that's how I'm understanding your question... you're saying the file is at 100% but you're also saying the torrent isn't at 100%, to me that sounds like there's torrent pieces missing to complete the rest of the .mp4 file maybe.
EDIT: Just to add, technically encoding software can write that moov atom at the beginning of the .mp4 file which would avoid this problem entirely but it sounds like these files you're downloading aren't encoded that way. In encoding software usually that means "optimizing" the file or making it "web" ready for a web browser to play immediately as it downloads sequentially.. I forget what ffmpeg calls it specifically.
EDIT 2: Thinking about it, if you're desperate to play this file as-is maybe you can run it through ffmpeg to create a new .mp4 file and then play it that way. It's not a real fix since the original source seems to be broken but you may be able to get something playable at least.
Again with this? You're just spamming /c/Piracy at this point (and probably breaking rule #4).
Torrent swarms need at least one connectable (port forwarded) peer for any torrent data to transfer. In large torrent swarms you won't notice this too much since there are usually plenty of connectable peers available.
The effect tends to be more noticeable in smaller swarms.
In practice you may not notice unless you try to download those torrents with one lone seed who also happen to have no port forward. In those cases you'll see there's a seed but no torrent data ever transfers over to you. (note that the same happens in reverse if you're the lone seed on many torrents)
Yeah I was just about to comment the same, that app has already been replaced in the Apple App Store at least for iPads and auto nuked the old configurations. Created a ton of confusion when people lost all their old remote settings and/or couldn't even find the app on the work iPads.
Just searching for it gets a bit silly since that new app is literally called Windows App. I'd be searching for "remote" something but nope, that's not what it's called anymore.
