Piracy

So everyone says to use a vpn but is it really needed i havent really pirated before so im not too sure, and i migh tnot but who knows. Are there free alternatives to vpns that are safe what are some options or choices we have? becasue most vpns dont allow torrenting or are pricey and the free ones are just bad. so what can we do?

I'm mainly only using it for p2p, everything else is secondary. Portforwarding is necessary though.

Edit: Decided on AirVPN. It wasn't too pricy, only 2 dollars above my current Usenet + Indexer plan.

https://babia.to/ Babiato down? Contact webmaster if you know him or if you have any details of him. We need that site like blood and looks like Google products if fu aroung with their pain in a product cloudflare. Is becomenig more frequently that cloudflare annoing sites which i think goverments dont like.

I'm in a dilemma, I think ownership of media is important, but the convenience of Spotify and the algorithm of new music that it suggests has helped me find amazing artists that I wouldn't have heard of otherwise.

Fellow sailors, what are your thoughts, and how do you personally listen to music?

So I found a book I'm looking to read on the Internet Archive after failing to find a PDF on libgen or anywhere else on a quick search, but while I could read it on the site, I find the interface annoying and I'd rather just use my PDF reader, but the book can only be borrowed for an hour at a time which means no use of the built-in download function. Is there a way to easily get a PDF of it by some other means?

Sorry if this is a dumb question, I did try to find an answer but I ended up getting a lot of Reddit results on what ended up being privated subs so I figured I'd ask here.

Anyone got a good site, and how the invite system works for them?

Edit: Let me be more clear, from revanced manager app you can patch Reddit, twitter and TikTok app. Hence, Reddit revanced.

God damnit! Another one bites the dust. Are there any new groups coming up behind the recent scene groups rarbg and now cakes? Like new rip groups? Do you all get the feeling that piracy is a shrinking pond?

Just looking for a safe copy of RE:2, but in order for it to play nicely with my Steam Deck and Fluffy Mod Manager, I need a copy of the game before the ray tracing update. The one that killed 90% of the mods, or at least doesn't allow them to work.

I tried fitgirl, but does anyone have any suggestions? I'd really appreciate a hand!

All that is left is a blank page stating the following:

Hello guys:

We have decided to close soap2day forever.

We are very sorry :)

Bye

Wanted to read some spider-man comics and was wondering if there’s an app that’ll have them for free. I tried a couple websites mentioned on the megathread but they have a horrible mobile experience. I’m fine with sideloading apps if required

@piracy this was the megathread they said to save https://rentry.co/megathread

At the moment I have a 50 megs symmetrical unlimited internet plan, but no matter the device or connection method (5G, LAN) my download/upload speed never exceeds 5 megabytes even though the speed tests always show 50/50.

Is it possible that my ISP is limiting this speed per device so that a single device does not hold all the bandwidth?

And what does this have to do with piracy? Well, between downloading files at 5mbs vs 50mbs there is a lot of difference, especially a lot of torrents.

With everything happening with Netflix and Max it's time to cut bait.

I was looking at renting a seedbox for torrents. I have a pretty old Synology I use for local streaming but it's too old to run Plex or even vpn properly without mucking about at the os layer.

How do people get stuff off their seedbox? Do they just manually download stuff when it's done downloading? Do they stream directly, as some appear to support jellyfin and Plex? Do they use rsync or something to automate transfers?

My media center runs Kodi with real-debrid through Seren. Just wondering if there's a mobile option for streaming tv/movies as well.

Edit - Ideally something that also ties in with trakt

Discuss, I guess. 🙃

So now that we've moved from Reddit, what's the stance on linking content? Or even discussing releases? Still a bad move?

I know it was stopped on Reddit due to the risk of the sub being taken down. But here there is no risk (for now) ?

I've sailed the high seas for a while starting with Emule, through MIRC, torrenting, mega(upload) and many more.

Lately I've been using a p4s service on plex but they kept having issues so I stopped it. I don't mind paying but I want

• the latest episodes of my content as it comes out
• great quality with little to no compression
• english subtitles, original voice (whether english, japanese...)
• 100% uptime.

I'm assuming my p4s service was not downloading new episodes by hand, so there must a (set of) OSS software to automatically download new episodes of a predefined set of TV shows / anime, add subtitles, and make it available as a plex server or similar no? I'm a software developer so not affraid to run a few docker containers on a local server

Just a PSA that I2P exists if you want to try out anonymous torrenting. Head over to I2P for questions on how to set it up.

I won't answer questions that could get me into legal trouble, but I'd be happy to help with more generic I2P things.

I heard that sites like happymod or modyolo are filled with malware so i don't trust those mods, so im searching for a more trusty and direct source for the mods from dexunpacker (specifically that deezer mod on it's last version), and also i want to keep a kind of direct way to access the dexunpacker mods in the future

Hey, A few years ago when I had no money for Spotify or YT Music I almost exclusively got my music from freealbums.org Yesterday, just out of curiosity, I wanted to visit the site again, just to find out it went down. It doesn't really surprise me much, considering the recent takedowns we pirates had to endure. Does anyone also used that site and knows of an alternative? I really liked using it back then, because it had Direct Downloads, super fast releases (I remember getting a new album a few days before you could buy physical or digital copies xD) and also a rather good UI.

I’m active on a few popular private trackers that handle my needs for new releases of tv shows.

I’ve found I have a lot of trouble finding torrents for older episodes though. Anytime I want to watch a full series from the start, it’s difficult to find all the older episodes or seasons of a show.

Anybody know of any private trackers that are good in that department?

As above, maybe too soon 🤷 it's not the book, it's the emailed pdf for $15. Feel free to DM me if u have it. Tx 4 reading.

I can't afford my VPN this month. Normally I'd just grab stuff from nyaa but not this time.

E:Thanks for the suggestions. I ended up going with 9anime and it's super clean.
