It's a slang term used as a verb usually. To mald is to be mad. He was calling them mad.

The whole point of using a seedbox is so that you don't have to use a VPN (well, and speed). You probably shouldn't use a seedbox with public trackers though. Some seedboxes will drop you from their service if they get a copyright request.

It didn't have denuvo :)

For preservation, go with a redump pack. They aim to make a collection of "perfect checksums" of every game. Badically, multiple people will rip the same game and they post a "hash" of their file and the perfect rip is the one that matches each other. They do not share the actual files, but you can get the a pack from archive.org of iso files that match the hash database of redump. This should give you the best collection.

I click install. No setup really

Sure, the magic of torrents is that it's hard to truly take down. If 100 people are seeding something, good luck getting them all to stop. The next best option is to stop sites from hosting the torrent files that help you connect with seeders. But, now we have DHT that is like torrent sites automatically being peer to peer. Shits unstoppable.

But, ftp has great benefits as well for sure. Not to downplay that.

What you are looking for is a VPN or to port forward Jellyfin. Not to be confused with a Commercial VPN. You want him to Virtually connect to your Private Network. Personally, I don't trust port forwarding Jellyfin directly. So, I setup a wireguard VPN and port forwarded that. Then, connect remotely through the VPN to the local Jellyfin. Idk about Roku though. I cannot say wether they have a good wireguard app.

Swizzin is another good 'all-in-one' option.

Thanks! I am so glad that they changed their name! lol

Plex for games. That's how I'm reading this. The advantage to me being that when I have a LAN party I can say "Grab Quake 3 from this URL" instead of "grab Quake 3 from this network folder". Not a huge thing. But it might help not over sharing.

Does this work with the latest widevine decryption? 3 I think?

How big is your seedbox that you split it with friends? I have a seedbox with 4 TB and it's like $17/month. That's a lot of content..

Sonarr? If you want to have a full suite of tools and have an extra computer to use, swizzin has sonarr and many other great tools.

Idk why you got downvoted. I wouldn't call that advanced. But, we could all be happy with that setup too :)

I would bet that the people who are saying that it's faster are probably not downloading from private trackers to a seedbox. I have heavily used private trackers and Usenet. Using both methods, the limitation is the speed of the hard drive on my seedbox. I could upgrade to a solid state drive but I prioritize storage space over speed. I can already grab pretty much every thing I want in a matter of seconds.

As for retention, torrenting beats out hands down. 5000 days is a big retention for usenet. I'm on several trackers with hundreds of torrents that have active seeders that were uploaded over 10 years ago... If you're using public trackers, then Usenet wins.

In my opinion the benefit to Usenet is not having to seed. I have a killer ratio on every private tracker I use. But sometimes I want to download something and I want to delete it right after. The real GOAT is to use them simultaneously. Pay for a couple of cheap Usenet providers (on different backbones) and get an affordable seedbox and put both torrent trackers and Usenet providers in Sonarr and Radar and you're gonna have a good time.

If you don't want to pay for a seedbox, Usenet is better since torrenting is slower through a VPN. You don't need a VPN on Usenet because, the servers you download from are the same that you gave your credit card info from.

Does that work with private trackers?

Not the really good ones tbh though. Show me a music tracker without this rule with even 1/3 of its content.

Ah, I had the numbers backwards. Is L1 heavily in-use?

Note that this requires port forwarding. Tailscale doesn't require port forwarding but, you have less control over it. Do with this information what you will..

I agree. But, I believe it's more for ban avoidance and invite sellers than anything.
