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.

A true pirate shares their booty 🔥🔥
sigh I’ll let my wife know…
why squirrel though?
Why not squirrel?
Yes?
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
Alle meine Zuhausis hassen Waldorf Frommer!
can you come back and tag this post with the correct language? would be neat
I’m trying but the save button just loops endlessly…
What difference does it make? Aren’t you able to see the comment?
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.
Just rent a seedbox.
Torrenting actively from public trackers for 14€ per month and can host the best streaming service right at home.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…
Oh no it isn’t. Walldorf Frommer is well known to send “Unterlassungerklärungen” which you have to answer. It will go to court if you do not work against this. You normally need your own lawyer to defuse what they send you.
Also, if you are in court, there is the concept of “Störerhaftung” which is a wet dream for everyone suing you for copyright infringement. They will have your IP and the time, thus your address. Now you either have to name someone who did do it, or if you can’t you will automatically be liable.
This isn’t any intimidation, it is one company using the laws in place here to fuck you majorly over. There are a lot of stories about this and if you seed on any public tracker you WILL get a letter.
God, back in uni with free electricity and internet in the dorms, we managed to seed over a terabyte of data before IT got suspicious and turned off that port. Then we seeded over slower wifi until they turned the port back on next semester, haha. Good times.
That was where we learned that the pirated copies of stuff were easier to find, higher quality, and worked on hardware that websites declared “too old” to stream their content. It all started when we had a bunch of people over to watch a movie, and Amazon refused to play it on older hardware. It instantly converted half a dozen people to piracy, lol.
Like Gabe Newell once said, piracy is a service problem.
The last two things I pirated were No One Lives Forever, a game that’s completely delisted on all storefronts, and Ratchet & Clank, because Sony can’t figure out how to add the PS2 versions of games to the PS5 and I refuse to stream it (data cap) or lug around my PS3.
Both I would’ve purchased legally had they not made it a pain in the ass.
Fun fact: This movie is on the 4k movies google drive
The only torrent I ever removed my seed cap for was a set of DVD-audio ISOs. I had it downloading for months, but it never got above 5%. Eventually I found the same disc images on another site, so I dropped them in the download folder and rechecked the torrent, which came back 97% complete. The only files missing were box art scans and NFOs. I let that thing seed for about five months.
When rarbg went down I immediately went and for any torrent I still had loaded in my client I quadrupled my normal ratio (3.5 -> 12.00). Then I also just increased my ratio generally.
I wish I had more disk space to keep things going even longer, but I really gotta cycle stuff out unfortunately.
When rarbg went down I waited a couple weeks for straghlers then stopped seeding all rarbg torrents. Is there a reason to? How will people even find these torrents?
rarbg.best
My crowning achievement is still seeding a 2.429TB torrent up to a 1.0 ratio, took me about 7 and a half months.
What’s inside a 2.4TB torrent? 🤔
It was a 4K porn siterip.
Wonderful! I wish you both a happy relationship! Sounds like you’ve got your work cut out for you 😊👌
Not from the same source, but I’m in the middle of getting a 5GB file that took me five days so far and will take another five to complete. After that, I think I will keep sharing for as long as possible this one, since I see a lot of peers every day, even though there’s only one seeder, from which I’m currently downloading at 10Kbps (and not because of my bandwidth, I think it’s theirs that’s a bit on the slow side).
I have slow upload, but once there are two seeds things should get better for all other peers, compared to now haha
I always am going crazy seeing a 1mib/s upload divided by 10 peers while I am sitting here with a gig symmetric line ready to satisfy all within a minute (if their pipes allow it).
JUST GIVE ME THE DAMN BANDWIDTH and I shall satisfy everyone and their dog for a 100 ratio…
I rather just stick to Real-Debrid, and never worry about seeds nor seeding ever again. Cached torrents are the future!
Paying for piracy is stupid
Disagree. I use a paid streaming service that’s every bit as convenient as Netflix, but has a library consisting of almost anything you could possibly think of. No need to hope somebody’s seeding it, or go searching through dozens of different sites. It’s one super easy go-to source that not only has the content, but remembers where you left off, allows user profiles, etc. That convenience is worth paying for.
Unless it was something really obscure I never had problems finding seeders.
I use the search engine function inside qBitTorrent and I sort the results descending by the number of seeders. To enable it go to View > Search Engine (iirc) and follow these simple instructions.
qBitTorrent also has a feature that lets you download a torrent in order of their pieces, and also download the first and last piece first, which is basically streaming. No need to wait for the download to finish first.
If needed, VLC has a built-in plugin called VLsub which lets you find and automatically load subtitles for almost anything. To enable it go to View > VLSub.
qBitTorrent + VLC is my Netflix. Never asked me a cent, but to me they are priceless and more convenient than any subscription service.
On Android I use LibreTorrent + VLC.
