        Yes, it but doesn’t integrate into qBittorrent like Jackett does. Jackett is more for manual searching, prowlarr integrates better with other *arr services.

          For me, prowlarr works much better together with qBittorrent, sonarr and radarr. + Add Flood to the list for easier mobile friendly UI for qBittorrent.

              I didnt know about qBittorrent Remote App. I have to try it when I got home. Flood is missing some functionalities and it looks like it’s not maintained anymore. Also, I need to check this Nzb360 app. Thanks for suggestions.

      I love CDRomance. Definitely recommend it not just for pre-patched ROM hacks, but also just their normal ROMS as well since I have never had any problems with the site besides the time I accidentally went to a most likely virus infested clone site.

    My main suggestion is to make your pirate searches using Yandex. Most book names “pdf” will give a result. You can also filter to only show sites of a specific language.

        Well, since it is just a an organised frontend for a multiple HLS streaming sources, I wouldn’t worry about my IP leaking (it’s not P2P).

        Your ISP can only see the domains which you are connecting to, not the content that is transferred (cuz https).

        If you are still paranoid, just route it through tor! It’s just a website after all. (ik it’s slow but it works!)

          Except it’s often not your ISP going after you, and https does not protect against everything. A few years ago there was a scandal in Germany when a moneygrubbing law firm took out ads on a porn site to get user IPs and the referer header, then sent demands to users for illegally downloading copyrighted material.

          A court initially rubber-stamped the requests for IP info from the law firm.

          A better judge/court clarified the law (streaming is fine in Germany) in that case and there were hopefully consequences for the law firm and the lawyers involved, but some suckers paid hush money first.

        That is nonsense.

        At least in the US, no one has ever been charged for using (implicitly non-p2p) streaming sites. People are charged for distribution - that is, the upload portion of p2p. Just viewing stuff in your browser is perfectly safe without a VPN.

          Right, the concern is that is true until it isn’t safe. Someone is going to be the first to be charged.

        If you have ever heard of IRC it uses that network to directly send files to you. Basically you need an IRC client then you message a bot for the file(s) you want it to send to you. There are xdcc search engines like sunxdcc and you can usually find books, audio, anime, etc.

            Its an old school chat protocol. You can try it for yourself kiwiirc is a website that lets you chat with IRC. You need to pick a network, Rizon is a good network to start with. There are a bunch of different commands you can use but the only ones i found useful are /msg to send a message and /join to join a channel.

            For the downloading part you need a client that supports XDCC, and then you can use these commands with your bot of choice

        IRC is a simple text chat protocol.

        DCC is an extension for file transfer.

        XDCC is a text command definition/protocol for interacting with irc chat bots offering files through DCC.

      Oooh so it’s my first time hearing and after looking it up, WHY AREN’T PEOPLE USING IT? Like why pay for a VPN, when you have stuff like this? What are the limiting factors for XDCC?

        Its not as common as torrenting, so less stuff is uploaded to it. Also download speeds are dependent on the bot, so some dls can be pretty slow

        The limiting factor is accessibility/usability.

        Having to set up an irc client, with xdcc, and then learning about xdcc commands.

    You know I just thought about sharing my entire piracy bookmark folder (while excluding some subfolders and/or sites) on Brave Android, is there any way to do so?

        Sorry for the late reply I got busy with other things, anyway here is my piracy folder just import the file using your browser

        Also, it’s unfortunately not the case with the mobile version and the desktop version doesn’t allow for exporting select bookmarks, I used Edge to drag and drop the folder into it then edited it then hit export

        Alternatively, there are browser extensions that can do that

    For any metal/rock music, I use getmetal.club

    For comics I use getcomics.org

    EDIT: took away the www, and actually spelt “get” right which should fix the links. Sorry everyone!

      What are the benefits of private trackers for someone who only pirates widely popular media and games?

          Is there a private tracker for good quality versions of really terrible movies?

          Things like The Room and Silent Night Deadly Night 2. I feel like there must be a niche bad movie lovers community…

            Ptp literally has the biggest collection of any private tracker I’ve ever used. Even the most niche movies u can always find it with good seeders

            SNDN2 has easy to access quality rip on the surface web due to the Scream Factory release.

            Unfortunately the largest source of bad movies outside of MST3K was Lowtaxs Plex server, all ripped from his private collection.

            Really wish his estate would have put the discs or his movie up for sale. I belive his family threw most of it out.

            I’m part of several movie private trackers an they all lack old terrible movies, just the popular ones.

        There once was a couple of Danish sites where all content had Danish subtitles. That was really nice, and something you don’t find on the average P2P-site.
