Don't ask me. It's the other guy who said he has to download the whole season even if he wants to see a single episode.

I don't do that. I keep plenty of media indefinitely, but everything combined (music, movies, books etc.) is only about 3TB. I finally saw that one stupid GamerGate episode of Law & Order SVU the other day and I download JUST that episode, not the whole season.
 
Anime could be compressed to fucking 16bit(5-6-5) color with no loss.

Anyway, I'm so sick and tired of paying Adobe to try push all my shit online. I don't care about the AI, or that fucking clouddrive it insists on using or Create Cloud wanting to update shit all the time. I've paid for Adobe products for many years and I'm tired of how they're handling MY CHOICES of the service that I pay for. What's a good way to de-couple photoshop from their fucking bullshit?

streaming is actually not bad. sometimes i just need to see one episode out of a series but if i am to torrent it i will need to torrent the entire fucking season whereas i can just go to a streaming site and pick the episode i want to watch.

Can't you just deselect all files and then select the episode you want to watch when adding the torrent? Streaming is still the easiest option, so I could understand why you would go with that

1 - yes, i haven't found specific episodes torrents.

All right, then. I was convinced you were aware of the fact that you can pick individual files for download.

- if you use a magnet, wait for the torrent program to load "metadata" (file list etc.). Sometimes it takes a minute or two. In qBittorrent click "content" at the very bottom, and pick the files you want (right click -> priority)
- if you use a .torrent file, just pick the files you want from the window that opens by default

i never bothered tweaking specific files for downloading as i see that as a time wasting hassle, i just download, scan for viruses if it's a chink torrent and seed.

it's faster to just pick the episode and press play on the streaming site than wait until the episode is downloaded so i can see on my pc, once i'm done with it i can close the tab and go on about my day.
 
With all the buffering and shit streaming has torrenting probably ends up being faster. Maybe just stop being a nigger and learn how to work a torrent client. You can do partial downloads and it takes no effort

Zoomers and Alphas can't comprehend how to set up a folder structure or how to point a program to use folders to dump torrent files and completed files.
 
Asides from just downloading the singular episode like prior mentioned you can actually just stream torrents if the whole "too long to download" complaint is a genuine one, and I mean you could always download it earlier too lol. Most people who complain about this stuff seem far too used to frictionless streaming and balk at anything that requires slightly more setup.

@Never Scored Sounds good in theory but for those of us who are mostly out...no apps...

How do I do this?
Click to expand...
du -h --max-depth=1
du lists the size of all files and folders in the target directory
-h makes it use MB GB and TB as needed so it's legible
--Max-depth=1 makes it only list the first level of folders, otherwise it gets to be a long unmanageable list

Unless you mean how do you watch gay porn in which case I dunno get some lotion and whip it out?
 
FYI you can right-click > Download in sequential order, then open the partially downloaded video file with a player that won't bitch about it (VLC or MPV) and as long as you download fast enough (download time vs video length) that's streaming right there, using torrents.

Popcorn Time used to do that thing invisibly. I miss it, mostly because I liked browsing new movies by their posters. I tried Kodi a few times but it's just a mess with a horrible UI.

If Empress works for Denuvo

Troons don't work. As i imagine it EMPRESS just had access to some code that made it possible to crack Denuvo at the time and that entry point got patched eventually, EMPRESS descended back into his goon cave, doomed to never return again.

Paying for internet piracy is anathema to the concept of internet piracy, simple as.

Saw that same theory about the Asahi Linux dev and it played out the same way. Sudden miraculous progress and then... nothing.
 
Is there a good place to get .apks of Android games that doesn't send my info to Russia or is it generally not worth the risk? I don't have a lot of experience with Android piracy.

Are you worried about GAMES making unwanted connections on your phone? You can block any app from calling home with a firewall like Netguard. Although... you'd probably need to pirate that as well.
