Would you only be duplicated content from wikis already available and simply cherry picking from those lists instead? I don’t see how FMHY is difficult to navigate. Yes it has 10,000 links, but you go to the topic you need and it has 10-20 links of which you can pick and choose.

Pretty much every software crack says ‘Block this application in your firewall’. I guarantee most people don’t. Following these instructions would have prevented this entirely.

You are looking for the arr scripts (formally arr-extended). https://github.com/RandomNinjaAtk/arr-scripts/blob/main/lidarr/readme.md

The work around did work however you needed to download an older archived version that was unpatched.

I setup a Lens so that if my query contains a single letter ‘r’', only Reddit results will be returned.

Just because your personal computer isn’t Windows, plenty of servers that contain your data are.

No, but it is in the megathread both here and on Reddit. It’s practically the largest video game soundtrack website/forum that exists right now with the exception of maybe Soulseek.

Is it really underground if you can just go to the website and sign up?

Back in 2019 some releases installed directly from IGG-GAMES contained crypto miners. They also added their own DRM to releases. Since then I have stayed away and never looked back.

Best of luck with your endless tech support anytime something doesn’t work.

hallowed is the internal release group at MTV. Their aim is to produce highly streamable (think Plex/Jellyfin) but still high quality encodes. They also always include English subs and dual audio for foreign films. The quality of their releases are good but very few as they only started releasing under that name about 5 months ago.

However, if you are gunning for highest possible quality/bitrate (and file size) you can get, go with releases by CtrlHD, MainFrame or W4NK3R.

Android - Unchained

Tixati isn’t whitelisted on pretty much any private tracker because of how easy it makes spoofing other clients.

FraMeSTor is the internal group at BHD. EPSiLON was previously releasing on PHD but left a couple years ago. They release to TL but are not nearly as active as they once were.

I prioritize FraMeSTor, and they have more releases post-2020.

My Prowler stats over the last 90 days are ~1600 usenet grabs vs ~40 torrents. Definitely worth it not have to seed and constant gigabit speed.

You can but you don’t need to. All they really do is organise everything. Any requests go through Prowlarr/Jackett which do the API calls then push that to qBit. One could argue you should put Prowlarr behind a VPN as well but it depends on the trackers you have in there.

This isn’t true. I used a debit card from a different country and it worked fine.

Microsoft Defender is good and free, but it is heavier on system resources than any reputable AV. Kasperskey is near the top for least impact on system performance.

That depends on the site. With a seedbox for even just one month (€6, one time), anywhere with freeleech becomes trivial with autobrr and a little bit of setup. I joined IPT not long ago and got over 1TB of buffer within 2 weeks. Music trackers and unforgiving niche are generally the hardest.
