I’ve been on and off been having issues connecting to seeds and peers for anything I download with qbit lately. I have ProtonVPN and I am connected to p2p servers, some torrents are stuck at 0(0) whereas some will be stuck at 0(2817)....
I’m in windows with SurfShark and qBittorrent. I sometimes have to close out qBittorrent and disconnect from the VPN. Sometimes that doesn’t work and I have to reboot the laptop. That normally fixes the problem for me. I tried looking at the ports and forwarding and interfacing but those seemed to do nothing to fix my issue. I have a feeling that it is the network drivers and/or the hardware itself.
Yeah, I used Firefox nightly until uBlock Origin became available on the regular release. Glad to see that most are going to be available. Been using Firefox since before they refactored the entire codebase (I think it was Mozilla Navigator back then). Went to Opera for awhile, Maxthon, and Chrome when it first game out but I always had Firefox installed.
If you are a pirate VPN is an essential tool. I am trying to ascertain the popularity of various VPNs in piracy community. In this excerise, I will list several Popular VPNs in the comment if you use one of them just upvote that comment and reply the reason. If you don’t find your VPN listed add a comment with just their name....
I apologize if this is already answered somewhere but I’m curious what exactly a fitgirl repack is? I know it’s a pirated version of a game but like is it just an installer or something? And if you imported the game into steam for example can you be “banned” or VAT (idr the term)
+Patches provided with the one installer versus having to download multiple torrents with some of the patches not being actively shared.
+Lots of people sharing FitGirl repacks so better chance of finishing for those a little bit harder to find releases. This could just be a function of me using only public sites.
+Ease of install. It just works. I don’t think I’ve ever had a FitGirl install go bad. Or Dodi. But it can take for-fucking-ever especially if you choose the low ram option (I’ve tried it a couple of times).
If you get from a reputable site like 1337x.to you don’t have worry as long as you are also downloading from one of their reputable uploaders.

Nice. I definitely have to check it out. I pay for Nebula/Curiosity Stream but am not able to play the Nebula videos with the screen off like I can with ReVanced. Hopefully I can with Grayjay.

Jobs that either don’t contribute in any meaningful way or jobs where one would be better off if they were paid to be on call.
