Why the satire? OP wants to do something illegal, admits doing it, and asks for tips how to do it in a larger scale online. What’s wrong with that?

it’ll probably take days yeah, but it’ll most likely download. Stalled means that it can’t find anyone that can give you the parts, but the fact that you downloaded some of it means someone at least has them. Eventually it’ll download. Try opening the port.

Or again, I’m willing to seed it for a while.

Technically there is a chance that the full file isn’t available, in that case there’s nothing to do. You can check: There got to be an availability listed per peer, or somewhere. Meaning you can check how much % other’s got. If you see anyone with 100% or the highest guy’s % is growing it’s available. Never had anything like this happen to me tho, I’m talking based on theory.

Oh, I didn’t catch you than, why can’t you torrent again?

hm, how can I explain ports… Sometimes when you see an IP address it’s like this: 12.34.56.78:1234. the number after the colon are called the port number. Everything before the colon addresses your router (if wlan), and everything after the colon, the port, adresses a specific computer’s specific application. To host a server you must open/forward a port. Back to torrents: A torrent client is a p2p node, it’s a server and a client at the same time. A server because others can connect to you. And a client because it’ll connect to others’ servers. So if your ISP blocks port forwarding others can’t connect to you, but you can still connect to others. Making the transfer slower, because two computers that don’t have their ports open can’t connect to each other.

Now I have no idea how trackerless torrenting works, and maybe I’m wrong about my last sentance (there could be a bridge). But as I don’t know much, you’ll better off reading into this on your own. Anyways, point is that I can’t see why torrenting won’t work.

oh, yeah, I can understand the fear of getting caught.

Well you can forward the torrent’s port, it’ll be faster as they can connect to you. But if you don’t have any ports open you can still connect to others, I was using torrent for a long time like that. My isp didn’t allow portforwarding.

Also if you can’t find a way to get it. I can download it and sent it over via cloud if you want.

I can’t help you sorry. But I got curious, how come you can’t use torrent? Opening a port is not required.

I left the last sentence open ended, for comedic effect, but if you really wanna know:

I transcoded videos with ffmpeg, and tried to exit out of the bash script with ctrl C. the script was something like:

for
    ffmpeg file finishedFile;
    rm file;

my ^C broke out only from ffmpeg and before I realized what happened the file got removed and the next ffmpeg call filled my terminal. I tought the key didn’t register, or something was stuck, so I pressed it again… and again… it cost like 45minutes of footage, wasn’t that important tho.

What an awesome tool that I wish I knew sooner. Also the && operator in sh. I think you can figure out what happened.

Can I ask: How? What do you do to install that, and don’t you mean c++ runtime? Also I’ve never tinkered with winecfg, I fear that I might break things. What are some settings that are worth looking at?

I’m asking caz I’m going crazy trying to play games on linux, if I buy them on steam it should just reportedly work, but non-steam games or cracked ones, I either have a very hard time starting, or it works, but just barely.

I’ve seen a lot of talk about large file sizes. How can you realistically reach 200GB in text? That’s around 2*10^11 characters. Or do you guys store something else as well, like sqls of data or pictures/textures/models?

what does “()/)/)/()” mean?

Gaben taught you well

a funny thing that I’d like to add, is that pirate streaming sites don’t have this limitation. You just open a website, write in a name, and play in on any platform, with good enough quality, free from all streaming services. Piracy is just too good to be true.
