In this thread, i figure out how to transfer Tixati from Windows to Linux; step 1: core2.dat doesn't work in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (2 children)

Tried qBittorrent and Transmission, they don't do better, in fact they see the same number of peers as Tixati does. And i don't know what would happen if i had two clients try to download the same file, probably nothing good.

Are you trying to do this too?

Oh i see it now, i didn't mean it like that lol

Yeah as far as i can tell the best way to do this is to export all magnets out of the old system, import them in the new system, make sure the file path / location is correct, and force check. It's what i did, but a lot of transfers are apparently only 99% complete even though they were 100% before. Of these, many have 0 peers so i don't know if there's any hope of them completing.

It's a shitshow. Honestly i fucking hate torrenting right now, nothing ever works

I'm pretty sure. I think. I can't find a core2.dat in my Linux filesystem so i assume it works some other way, and therefore it's cooked.

The reason i want to do this is because transplanting core2.dat is what you usually do to recover your settings and transfers. I this case though i've installed it on my Linux PC so i don't think this is going to work.

I've resorted to exporting all magnets and re-importing them, but that has a few drawbacks.

I'll update if i find better solutions. So far, if you want to transfer your Tixati from Windows to Linux, my advice is probably don't

Are there modern trackers for YIFY and RARBG stuff? in c/[email protected]

Thanks, that's really sick! These are torrents though, i was thinking of trackers

Man i wish. Here in France they actually send letters and you get a 1500€ fine if you ignore them three times.

Or at least they did back in the day, do they still? Well i've already gotten 2/3 letters so i'm not gonna try to find out

I'm getting back into torrenting and i have a bunch of YIFY, YTS, and RARBG torrents still leftover from back in the day. As the screenshot shows, most of their trackers are not working, i assume they went offline when the relevant websites went offline.

The DHT is carrying and will keep these in circulation, especially when a lot of search engines use the DHT; but a lot of them are still getting stuck, it would be better if the trackers worked.

Are there new ones that carry the torch? Do the successors to these release groups have their trackers too? I'm looking for YTS and RARBG especially but i'd welcome any good current tracker that helps people find my shit

Meta (facebook) torrented 87.1tb of pirated books to train AI in c/[email protected]

Yeah they'll lawyer up, but only for themselves. They have no reason to to do anything that benefits the rest of us.

Maybe the torrenting community could see some legal benefits, but only if incentives align. Which they very well may not because Meta is not one of us and their interests don't really align with anyone else's.

"invest" implies that you could make your money back.

Hopping VPN servers to seed to random countries--anyone else do this intentionally? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

I've been torrenting with VPNs for years and never understood how they work together. I just really wish i didn't have to do this, i already struggle enough without the added complexity
