Depends on whether or not they signed up for monthly or annual, and many get it in November so things they order show up in time before the xmas postal hell.
Not really defending Amazon, but that’s not really shenanigans either. If you’re expecting 100% completely free shipping without prime, they’re going to wait to send it with a more cost efficient larger shipment to your region while prioritizing prime orders. Sometimes the distant warehouses are used even with prime because that’s where those items are, they don’t keep them stocked everywhere, especially when they process third party orders. I can easily expect to wait 2 weeks or more for something if I don’t pay for shipping.
Everything worth seeing can be torrented anyway. I canceled a year ago and haven’t noticed a loss of anything as long as any orders are over $35 for free shipping.

I have the GL.inet Beryl router, absolutely the best addition to my travel tech. I’ve considered upgrading to a newer model for faster vpn for torrents, but this can still easily run off a 2.4v usb battery pack and handles everything reasonably.

I used to have an account at Demonoid but can’t for the life of me remember anything about it. Does anyone in this community still use it and could you provide an invite?
sorry, I have no idea. I’ve never had an account, only used it before accounts were required, then got locked out and keep missing the open reg windows. Assuming I have the right url, it’s demonoid.is
Any and all help would be so greatly appreciated. I’ve been battling with my laptop to be able to dual-boot Ubuntu Cinnamon and Windows 10 for about four days now.

Sorry this isn’t an answer to the question, only a general reminder for whoever needs it to always create a disk image backup beforehand using Macrium Reflect or similar, so you can rollback nightmares like this.
Well, if you’re not in a country that cares about torrenting or related legal action, torrenting without a VPN provides faster speeds since everything isn’t being encrypted, and port forwarding can allow connections that may not occur without.
My VPN service offers a private SOCKS5 proxy w/ Auth for faster torrenting without encryption, that still masks your IP from other torrenters, but I don’t use it since there’s still a risk of my ISP seeing some traffic with unencrypted headers, and sending notices. I just stick with VPN and slower speeds.
Also, if the newest version of photoshop on torrentgalaxy isn’t as new as the version you can download direct from adobe (as a trial you can unlock to full with a product code), you usually can still use the most recent crack on TG with the direct download from adobe. (Usually, I haven’t tested lately.)
Yes, I meant that while using a VPN (which is the safest and most recommended) that port forwarding doesn’t work anyway, so don’t worry about port forwarding.
So I was looking into getting port forwarding set up and I realized just how closed-off the internet has gotten since the early days. It’s concerning. It used to be you would buy your own router and connect it to the internet, and that router would control port-forwarding and what-have-you....
