          They staked his hands and feet, not his heart. Now that we understand vampirism and liches better, it's time to try again.

            You dont stab a lich in the heart you have to destroy their phylactery which ties their soul to the material plane. And Jesus has had 2000 years to fill the earth with millions of fake phylacteries disguised as Christian artifacts so good luck finding the real holy grail.

              Thanks, I knew liches were a different process but couldn't remember what it was!

              I believe in us. I take this "attack and dethrone god" shit seriously, and I think we can figure this out.

        yeah for the most part, although you'll have to check if its a re-encode and what codec it is. there's loads of old uploads on there and they might still be avi or divx.

      Also real-debrid.com They have competing good reviews from basically everyone. RD seems to cache torrents for longer (although this is debatable, so, grain of salt)

      If anyone has these services already or is interested I HIGHLY suggest also looking up on github a project called "plex_debrid" the main dev is itstoggled

      Basically it integrates a debrid service (real-debrid, alldebrid, etc.) into Plex and allows you to have nearly instant access to any movie/show by simply adding it to your watchlist in Plex. It also supports external watchlists from Trakt (I also suggest this app anyway- I pay the yearly premium to support the single developer) and overseerr. You add a movie or show to your list, it searches for cached torrents, refreshes Plex, and the media is available to stream immediately (nearly. A few secs usually). It also supports Jellyfin instead of Plex if people dislike Plex (I bought lifetime like a decade ago to support them at the time, so, I just keep using it for now)

      If you don't have a server or host pc of any type at home, or aren't interested in such things, then streamio is my next recommendation. It also uses debrid services to instantly search for and play whatever media you want. Caveat for streamio though is the project is closed source, lacks customization options, and the devs, in my experience, are slow to update and add features like customization. It is a nice program though and totally free. Available for Android tablets, phones, and android TV products. Also PC and I think Linux and Mac too (too lazy to check).

    torrentz2.nz (Meta-search of a bunch of torrent hosts)

    1337x.to (For movies, tv, etc. it's fine. Be EXTREMELY cautious of other media. The admins there have been caught straight up allowing malware (Balder's Gate torrent shit)

    solidtorrent.to (Just another option)

    Also if you don't mind a small monthly fee for huge convenience gains: real-debrid(dot)com alldebrid

    And many more offer cheap (~$2/mnth totally unlimited- and I've downloaded 100s of TBs with no issue) cached torrents. Basically you paste (or usually this is automated via a script you're using in some fashion. I have a bunch of stuff setup on my home server) a torrent magnet or upload a .torrent to the sites. If a cached torrent exists, you can download it immediately at full bandwidth. The two sites I listed have shitloads of cached torrents of movies from 480p-4K and 8K of everything imaginable. All streamable instantly once setup.

    Look up "plex_debrid github" if interested. The main dev is called itstoggled. Free project. compatible with jellyfin also if you dislike Plex and want more open source and free. (Ive no affiliation with the project or the dev beyond using the program(s) and donating to their continued efforts)

      torrentz2.nz (Meta-search of a bunch of torrent hosts)

      I poked around the source code for a minute and it seems that site is a merely a braindead clone of bitsearch.to without the sorting function.

      For abyss 1989 - both are 295 results which I assume are exactly the same.

      https://torrentz2.nz/search?q=abyss+1989

      sorted by size - https://bitsearch.to/search?q=abyss+1989&sort=size

        interesting

        bitsearch has the same layout as solidtorrent too

        I imagine a lot of these sites are feeding off each other. i just find one and use it until it inevitably gets shutdown or becomes too shitty to use.

          Now it's a sea of re-re-re-re-recycled shit.

          The original Demonoid had great comments. But it died. I loved the original Torrentz but then it died. And Rarbg was fantastic for me because I wrote gm scripts to improve it to my liking. But then it died too. And there's no substitute for it. I have to check 3+ sites and hope for the best.

    I get most of my torrents from https://yts.mx/ or 1337x.to

    If it's older/more obscure Yify sometimes has fuck all for seeds though.

      I thought YTS was defunct and any domains around right now are just shady copies. Nothing's ever come up for you on a virus scan?

      1337x is good though. I've also used EZTV for some more obscure things and it's been fine.

      Private trackers are good but I have found it hard to maintain ratios without a seedbox. As a poverty stricken guy it sucks because private trackers are good shit.

        The issue with private trackers is that you end up downloading stuff only to seed it because its like some bonus point torrent. The other trick I would use was to grab the torrent hash and see if it was on DHT without the private tracker which sometimes happens. You can then add the private tracker back to it and remove the public DHT trackers and reap the benefits of pure upload. Sadly both of these require you to play the system a bit and who the fuck has time for that?

        EDIT: In other words there is a warm up period for torrent accounts on private trackers that can sometimes last around a month or two depending on if you get onto a site with a generous bonus point system you can learn to use. If you mess up this break-in period your account will always be in shit status and you might as well delete it and start over.

    Do you mind spending $10 a month on a seedbox? Because if you do there is a torrent search engine that I use that hooks into a seedbox and it pulls from a shit ton of public trackers. It looks like this:

    Show

    You hit the send to put.io button and boom its on the put.io site and you can just watch it then delete it.

            Naw that is my PaaS(Piracy as a Service) stack that I use when I need the dirty done on the road. My real home built system is a set of docker containers that have a pipeline to a really good Usenet indexer.

                Public trackers are rare these days. I would almost tell you to avoid them. My suggestion if you are trying to stay free and dont care about letters from your ISP in the mail is to wait for iptorrents to open up invites by watching the tracker list here. You can also try for the others on that list that do random open registration events. You can see the open ones by sorting by availability. Be careful if you do get into iptorrents because you have to maintain ratio. They are super ban happy there if you dont.

              a pipeline to a really good Usenet indexer.

              Are you aware of any good choices with open registration? This was always my piracy tool of choice, to the point that I've maintained a download service account over all these years. All my old indexers seem to be gone or shit now though.

                The only indexer that does open registrations that is worth its salt is drunken slug. Their restrictions for basic accounts is not that bad.

                Show

                If you wanted I could send you one of my invites, because getting in took me years of waiting. It would come with a "you know what you are doing and are not gonna cause trouble" clause tho.

                  Is the indexer where you get the nzb files from? I've got a jellyfin/arr server going with torrentleech as my main source for movies and shows currently. I was thinking of getting into Usenet again for ebooks and music, but it seems like tech has advanced since the days when I used Forte Agent to manually download things.

    Since the demise of rarbg I have been getting them from torrentgalaxy.to. It's not as good but gets the job done. There was one TV show that I found through limetorrents though the exact domain name escapes me right now. There are also sites like solidtorrents.to that let you search multiple indexers.

    if you want, instead of torrenting, check out stremio with torrent addons. it allows you to just stream movies in a netflix looking interface without actually downloading anything onto your computer

    you get the addons here https://stremio-addons.netlify.app/

    and download it here https://www.stremio.com/downloads

    i feel like it's self explanatory but feel free to ask questions or look up a reddit tutorial or something, there's lots of them
