Ideally 4k/x265. If something comes down and is x264 then my tdarr will spot it and re-encode to same res / bit rate in x265. Will transition everything to AV1 when I next upgrade my computers and they have native AV1 decode.

If all you need is more storage, a cheaper option could be to get one of those jbod 4bay sata usb enclosures and fill them up with 10tb drives.

You have a point that just for hoarding movies and videos USB isn't too much of a bottleneck. I'm currently using a 500GB HDD from extracted from a 10 year old laptop in a 2.5" box for a measly little crumb of extra storage but the day that thing finally croaks on me could come any time now lol.

it refuses to let me pay, I try to enter my (dedicated prepaid) credit card and the form for entering the number cannot be interacted with. I'll try frugalusenet for a while

I can also vouch for News Demon. Been using them for years. I originally went with them just because I liked the name, but they ended up being great. They throw in VPN access too.

You can use Stremio with torrentio.
For small files, you can also just choose “Download sequentially” and you can usually play them straight away.

m0nkrus version is a complete offline installation file, that version can be archived for your future computer/other workstations. With the GenP version, you are still dependent on Adobe keeping their installer (Adobe Creative Cloud) to not change and still being able to connect to their servers for the installation. IMO, if you go for GenP, at least download and archive a copy of a m0nkrus version in case of Adobe deciding to change their shit (one day they will).

This hurts me. Yes, the website was dogshit, but it had so much content. Some stuff you can't just buy. I haven't been able to find a good replacement.R.I.P., Kimcartoon

I download in the best quality I can find and then transcode it to AV1 using ffmpeg. This can take a while if you want to compress the video stream as much as possible, but IMO it's worth it unless you want to immediately watch what you download. I recommend you use CRF to indirectly set the bitrate, CBR or constant bitrate doesn't care about the complexity of the scene so bits aren't properly allocated, also watch out for film grain synthesis when transcoding grainy media, it can save a fuck ton of bits.

Just got back into torrenting. Buddy of mine hooked me up with WD Elements 18TB external HDD for $50! Far more storage than I'll ever need, but couldn't pass.

absolute steal. I paid that much for 3 tb. i fell robbed now. though, I avoided shingled recording and low rpm green drives on purpose. But one is running out of reserve sectors already... I think read somewhere that shingled recording is bad for raid, so I'm not sure if getting cheap externals and gutting them for nas use is a good idea but I'm contemplating it now.
