I had the same issue this that site. I think it is caused by ad block. I browse the internet with Firefox that have ad blocking addons installed, but always have Chrome installed without any adddons to test sites just in case. And on chrome it worked OK.

I misread your post. I looked into my script and I actually used ip2location as a source for IP ranges. However, I can't seem to find a way to download them (at least without an account) in csv file. Most likely they changed that. Or maybe I just copied them from the page by hand (pro tip just mark first cell, then go down to the end of the table and while holding SHIFT mark the last one).

I can find where I found it, because that was first and last time I dealt with *.dat files, but I script makes line look like this:

1.0.1.0 - 1.0.3.255 , 000 , china ban ip range from ip2location

with spaces and all.

It seems to work. If anyone wants a China ban list or the script, let my know with reply.

I don't know how much extra memory my qBittorrent uses with that list (718 ranges/lines), but as a reference with 1427 torrents it uses ~8GB of RAM.

For me it is China after I noticed that a lot of them uses some kind of strange client that always shows that they have 0 progress to get better priority from other pears. Later after I started to look into it I noticed that they do not even seed.

It's posible to use a file too. The is an option just above that filter field. I think it's more convenient, because there might be a lot of small ranges. The file just have to be formated in specific way. I remember I even found a website that allowed to export ranges for specific country in a file and I made a small Python script to format that file.

You telling me you couldn't install nvidia drivers on Ubuntu? It's one of the friendlies distros for new users out there.

Official instructions: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaDriversInstallation

TLDR: "sudo ubuntu-drivers install" if that fails read the instructions.

But that's the literal point of WebUI of any program. To make it possible to connect and manage the program from any device from the remote machine. And there is a reason why most developers choose to use WebUI - you don't have to create multiple cleants for every OS and every internet connected device has a web browser. In fact web browser can be considered the client in this scenario.

What could be the reason why anyone could be against WebUI? I can only think of one advantage of native client that has to be installed is that it would make of possible to associate torrent files and magnet links with it.

And lastly, if you would search for qbittorent remote client most likely in top 5 results you would find electorrent. I haven't tried it but at least description claims that it can be used with qBittorrent.

Edit: heh it seems I managed to reply to my own comment.

qBittorrent-nox is as separate as you can get. It can be run on the server without GUI. It also provides WebUI, that can be modified if you wish, but you don't have to use it. Moreover, most (if not all) settings can be edited through the text file and torrents added using CLI.

qBittorrent, when Web-UI is enabled (doesn't matter if it's nox or not), provides and API too. IF you have a client you can connect and manage everything using it. However, the only clients I know are for android.

You mean something like running qbittorrent-nox and connecting to it using web ui?

On the other hand you have Great Chinese Famine, Tiananmen Square massacre and more recently Uyghurs concentration camps and most likely genocide and that's only China.

I haven't seen a YouTube video without a separate audio track. If you use yt-dlp just add -F and the URL to get all available download options/formats. Then use -f and the number of the download option and URL to download the video/audio. Audio on YouTube is available in two formats most of the time: opus and m4a.

I would say let the people who want to stay on reddit have it. This protest was the best thing that could have happened to /r/piracy, because now there is this place with 17k subscribers. I know there was another backup before this, but I don't think it was this popular. And if reddit will go public there is a good chance that that subreddit will be banned or quarantined and at that point it would have been hard to spread information about something like this place.
