      I just finished reconfigging my whole old server into it’s new modern form and set it up so that at either ratio > 2 or 1 month of no seeding has passed

      So far my overall ratio is fucking .78 because apparently nobody wants to download the shit I’ve got seeding other than me :'(

      (Tbf it’s mostly old obscure shit rn cuz I’m catching up on more obscure releases of movies n shit this month, but that was maybe a dumb idea right after completely overhauling my setup and tracking my ratios now lol)

        Old obscure shit you say? Sounds like I might be interested. Can you let me know what you’re seeding and where I can find a torrent or magnet?

          Just some shows my wife watched as a kid, a couple of movies from the 60s

          Unfortunately I got home yesterday and qbittorrent was off and all my torrents were gone

          Checked the log and something went wrong but I’m still not 100% sure what, I think I might have fucked up the time settings though

          AFAIK Miru keeps the streamed torrent downloaded and seeds it in the background.

          Edit: My bad, it seems to be a feature coming to version 6 of Miru, but currently it’s not available.

            It depends on how you’re streaming it, but if you use some service that streams a torrent directly and then throws it away afterwards you took the torrent data without contributing anything back to the swarm

              Yeah, but as you said, it is highly dependent on the implementation. Theoretically it is possible that the user is also seeding the previously downloaded/streamed chunk (via WebRTC for example if using a browser). That reminds me of a madlad that stores data on a ping packet (see suckerpinch channel on youtube, specifically his video titled “Harder Drive”)

              Can one not seed while stream? Like keeping cache after you have seen that part and seed that part?

              (I have little knowledge on new torrent stuff since I found a net that can be used)

                Dunno. If the client does it.
                I know there are ways thr request a specific section of a torrent to essentially stream it and once you are done keep it in seed.

          Most torrent clients should have an option to download sequentially. The wording of the option may be different for each one.

            Stremio with Torrentino also works.

            Haven’t tried Miru, thanks for suggesting. I’ll check it out.

            i still don’t understand how logging in to Miru with Appimage works, i authorized it and Anilist lists Miru in the Apps section but it’s still not logging me to Miru

                okay i figured it out, you have to create a .desktop file for miru in .local/share/applications and it must contain this line:

                MimeType=x-scheme-handler/miru;

                you can use Gear Lever which adds Appimages to the applications menu and creates the .dekstop file automatically for you so you don’t have to do everything manually even the line above, it also has an update mechanism too

                it’s preferable to Temporarily use Brave or a chromium browser as the default for it work properly if Firefox is your default

              Try logging into anilist in a browser that has been installed as a native package. Then temporarily set it as the default browser and open Miru then try ‘login with anilist’ .

              This worked for me.

            Go in channel, ask bot for file, start watching. The only waiting that happens is while watching the content anyway. No need for any elaborate setup or leaving a box on 24/7. But you do you.

    Where can I find every single episode of Case Closed? Because I can’t find a complete torrent and Crunchyroll is missing everything from about episode 103 to episode 700. They introduced another character at some point in between there and I have no idea who she is.

        Yeah during the mage exam she demonstrated her childishness by… Taking control of the group, and teaching and protecting the two actual children that were on her team.

        Or when she ran into the child Himmel in the forest, the writer showed what a child she was by… Maturely helping him find his way home and keeping him in good spirit with a magic trick.

        But she does like to sleep in! That’s undeniable! And no adult in history has ever liked sleeping in.

          And Fern acts as a mother to her in the mornings, and when she’s shopping / scavenging. It’s a bit mutual, at this point.

          (Though, yeah, I’m fairly certain that Frieren’s childish behaviour is almost entirely intentional on her part, and that she can turn it off and act like an adult when she wants to, which admittedly isn’t very often; she might also be a bit feral from all the time she lived alone in the woods.)

            Frieren’s childish behavior and appearance is entirely intentional on the producer’s part, in order to appeal to people who are turned on by that.

              Nah. Frieren’s appearance and behaviour are straight from the manga, which isn’t that kind of book (seriously, the author just wanted to write about an unassuming elf John Wicking demons and accidentally turned it into a great story about death, and friendship, and whatnot) and only ever uses raunchiness in humorous contexts (the clothes dissolving potion, Flamme’s “secret seduction technique”, Fern constantly considering everyone a pervert, and so on).

              This isn’t Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid (though that also accidentally turned out deeper than what it was supposed to be, which in that case was smut).

              What Madhouse clearly are into in any case is feet (seriously, this show looks like a Tarantino film at times). Serie’s, especially. And Übel’s armpits, for some reason. Both of those are much more present in the anime than the books (also, excellent animation, like the fights or the dance scene, which in the books are usually just a couple panels; that’s probably not a fetish, though).

                  I’m sure you think it’s the same thing with the furries.

      Nyaa.si is one I have good experiences with.

      Also subsplease has their own site with torrents in multiple resolutions. Those are great if you’re using devices that can’t do 1080 anymore.

          When you’re connected to a webpage for 40+ minutes you’re being exposed to all kinds of info stealers, trackers, cryptominers, etc.

          If you just check what you’re downloading is an mkv, you are pretty much risk free.

      That is the most incorrect tech take I’ve heard in a very long time.

      Downloading MKVs and AVIs is infinitely more safe than janky ass streaming sites EVEN WITH ADBLOCKING
