Format, no, but sometimes the release group. I’ve filtered some of them out but there’s times when they’re the only option for high quality content. So I was hoping to solve the issue another way.

Excellent insight on the after release setting, that would explain why they’re getting downloaded prior to the air date. I always assumed that’s what that meant.

The first time we were introduced to them was in Rome where they’re a bit different. It’s called supplì there and they have tomato sauce as well. So good!

Right, but the poster did mention that they were making a connection and transferring at least some data, so I just kind of inferred that the seeder has port forwarding.

If I understand correctly, port forwarding has no effect on download. It’s only a factor in seeding. So if that’s the case, there’s likely nothing you can do. Your download rate is entirely dependent on the behavior of the seeder you’re downloading from. If they give priority to other media that is more popular and increases their seed ratio while relegating the source you’re trying to download, then you’re at their mercy. This is why using VPNs that are capable of port forwarding is so important. You may be the only person who manages to download whatever it is your trying to grab. If the seeder you got it from goes offline, anyone else wanting that material is shit out of luck unless they happen to use Mullvad. Mullvad is great. Their privacy and pricing is very strong. I’d recommend it to anyone, but for the purpose of information availability and preservation through torrenting, a VPN capable of port forwarding is a requirement.

Anyone got one of them antitrust lawsuits?

Holy cow am I glad that I have no desire to pirate (presumably) nude photos of celebrities. Let alone post on a forum about where I can find them…you do you of course, but this seems like trouble

It could be a case of intentional word play but the wording of the article makes it seem like it’s more than just usenet. Specifically the line: “inciting serious sexual abuse of children via a messenger service and producing child pornography content”

It doesn’t read as though it’s simply CSAM traffic through his network and if that were the case, I’d imagine the other 2 would be looking at similar charges, but news media notoriously bad a properly representing tech so that’s what gives me caution.

Yeah, I don’t care if you’re seeding the entirety of film history for free. If you’re also helping distribute child pornography, you deserve to rot.

I do wonder if this is a usenet case though. I know that’s a concern for a lot of people.

Going to bat for xbox or Microsoft right now is a death sentence on the internet so by internet law I have to downvote you. Sorry, it’s just the way things go…

That said, I agree. Being able to buy a $30 plug and play pack with rechargeable battery packs or being able to buy rechargeable AAs or just normal AA batteries is the best of all the current first party options.

What really pisses me off is that their anti-cheat forces me to use dogeOS

Really? Dumper sticker was right there…

I’ve no idea how arancini have not migrated across the globe. It’s unbelievable. My first time encountering it was at a local pizza place in Rome. It’s a little off the tourists locations, but its called ‘Mastro Donato Pizza Gourmet’. If ever you’re in Rome, I would highly recommend.

Thanks! I’ll have to check it out when I get back home. I’ll leave this post up as a resource cause I do think there’s some valuable information in here still.

I’ve checked and that’s not true of the public trackers I use.

Ripping. I’ve searched the sidebar for guides but nothing jumps out to me. I’m sure I could find it eventually, but I don’t necessarily want to waste a couple hours browsing if someone knows where to look off the top of their head already. Any help is appreciated obviously!

Right on, brother/sister! Just trying to save some potential embarrassment. Keep making bread for us breadless heathens. Someone has to keep this rock turning. Btw, it looks delicious!

Do you mean focaccia?
