The thing that sucks about capitalism is that for as awful as it is, the idea that it breeds innovation is also true.

 

Hello all,

I've heard many times that IRC can be incredibly useful for piracy, but I've never tried using it. Can someone recommend some IRC servers that I could join? I'm especially interested in joining servers that distribute TV shows.

Thank you!

Sounds very much like my experience: a wonderful project, but not without its flaws that are kind of annoying, but not a big deal for the price. :)

Thank you for this. I set this up yesterday and started combing through my list of things that I've wanted to download but couldn't find even on my private trackers. I wish I knew about this sooner!

What issues do you have with ReVanced? It works great! The only thing that's kind of a pain in the ass is that if you're rooted using KernelSU, you have to repatch the app every time you reboot. Fortunately I usually only reboot once a month when the new OTA gets released for my phone.

Well, I might have to try it for the torrent that I'm trying to download. Merging may not be effective for most cases, but in this case, this peer was the only one that managed to get a full copy of the torrent content. They disconnected before I could grab all of it though, so now I'm stuck at 50%. :(

That's awesome! I suppose it might also explain why this torrent has been sitting in my queue for several weeks and is now suddenly at 100% from this one seeder. Do you know if the process is automated? Or does the user have to do the work of finding the torrents with matching files themselves? It's a bummer that qBittorrent apparently doesn't support it.

 

Every now and then, when I'm connected to a torrent a peer will connect that has a reference to "Swarm Merging" in their name. What is swarm merging?

Yeah. Seeing those things makes me wonder what it must be like to have them as coworkers.

lol this is hilarious. I feel bad for Rohith, but the fact that it was possible for such a mistake to even be made is hilarious. The people being rude to him in the replies though all suck.

This was quite interesting and also incredibly cringe on the dev's part.

Got it. I was just took a look at the RED interview prep site, and I'm afraid my knowledge of digital audio is far too limited for me to pass it. I'll take a look to see if I can find something elsewhere.
