It’s crazy to me to see so many people recommending these. I remember thinking ed2k was old when Kazaa and Morpheus came out.

I was looking at this page and it brought so much nostalgia. The days of viruses, “proggys” in Yahoo chat (I missed the AOL train), being a young teenage script kiddy on the Internet… That was the best time of the Internet for me. You could do and say anything and never felt like there was a panopticon watching you to slip up at any time.

That’s great, I noticed ABB doesn’t track my ratio anywhere even though they require an account.

I’ve been using audiobookbay, does myanonymouse have more content?

FTA: “The list of IP addresses and domain names to be blocked is drawn up by private bodies authorised by AGCOM”

Edit: You’re correct, you could run a VPN on your own server and sell access, as this would only block known VPN services.

Sure but you’d basically be scamming them as the VPN service wouldn’t work because even if you sent them the VPN installer and login it wouldn’t connect.

You’ll need port forwarding for private torrent sites so people can download from you better.

What, they gonna be the defendant and the plaintiff?

I don’t know what type of traps OP means, unless it’s software, then that’s possible.

Reddit blocks access to all major VPN services (on desktop for sure) when they click a link from a search engine (maybe even navigating directly to it but I don’t do that). This has been happening for about a month now. There’s a specific page it shows that basically says “come back without a VPN.”

I don’t think it does it if you’re logged in and have cookies enabled.

Caveat: there is a simple way to bypass it, I’ll let you old.heads figure that one out.

Seriously. Lemmy is a house made of patchwork quilt, with a bit of pine sap here and there to steady the few boards.

I’d almost put money on it being AV. But I’d also think the installer wouldn’t just crash on locked file. That was my first thought too though since I don’t believe the qbt executable is signed.

Unigram is what you’re looking for on Desktop, not 100% sure if they have a Linux build.

Sounds like a malware author having all victims download and seed all his torrents so they’re @ the top for many software searches and spread more? Some type of automated process either random bytes for size or download previous torrent and bind malware to .exe in main zip?

Don’t have time to check it out, if anyone else does let me know. And let TPB staff know.

This is exactly what I was looking for!

That’s my fault, I messed up and said ebook a few times while meaning audiobooks.

He narrated his own?? Hell yeah, I’m going to download them today and give them a re-listen on the suggested apps to see which I like most.

You’re making disingenuous assumptions when you say I listened to other audiobooks. I have only listened to this series. purchased 3, and listened to 2 of the free (premium) books. I did not listen to any other books. There were a couple times it skipped a chapter with an accidental scroll, and I had to scroll back, but I didn’t actually listen so it shouldn’t count.

I wasn’t aware of the 15 hour limit but of course I am now as it’s been pointed out many times in this thread. I didn’t even know they had audiobooks until they started showing up on the opening screen of Spotify. I got hooked listening to the Steven Fry narrated OG book and then went to buy the next 3 and the last book in the series was also included in premium so I listened without buying. Still, 13 hours (which makes up for any skipping) is not 15 hours, so there’s either a bug or they intentionally count unlistened to skipped chapters as being listened to.

I’m getting Libby setup today with my library card.

I purchased 3/5 books of the series. The 2 free books add up to 13 hours.
