Got high, wanted to watch mythbusters, and see this. Great experience.

There's a better way (sorry for reddit link)
All the Mythbusters episodes will all the fluff removed.
- This is awesome, and also, I'm impressed someone posted a magnet link on Reddit of all places and hasn't been taken down
- Better? Yeah, the fluff is gone, but I've seen better quality streaming from a potato.

I just have a "channel" on my plex (I use DizqueTV to setup the fake TV channel) that has a random continuous playlist of Mythbusters, Top gear + all the spinoffs and classic specials, Junkyard wars, classic robot wars, etc etc..
- DizqueTV you say.... Onto the high seas to look for more info and understand what this is and why I need it...
  
  its just an app you run next to plex that lets you make fake TV channels with your own content. good for those "I don't know what to watch" times where you just want to click a button and shut your brain off.
  
  Another one is ErsatzTV. They allow you to create your own 'TV channels' based on stuff in your library.
- I have been looking for high-quality video of Junkyard Wars for years. I found one torrent once of like 320x240 rips of a singe season. It's miserable.
  
  yea, sadly a lot of shows from those times were never released on decent formats, so all we have are poor broadcast rips, some of them from VHS, and occasionally a DVD encode made in 2003.
  
  There's a 65 GB pack on archive.org
  
  There is a complete pack of Junkyard wars / scrapheap challenge, but most of it is pretty poor quality, even the later seasons.
- Holy shit this a game changer! My man thank you!!

So glad torrents don’t have region lock 👍
- If anything, torrents have a region boost. Provided no one has servers or seedboxes set up, you're going to benefit hugely from seeders near your location.
  
  Hot seeders in your local area, they want your bandwidth. Leech now!
- Sure they don't. Just be aware that if you're using public trackers you can appear here, as some of the peers track the IPs that appear in the swarms:

  That's why Jesus invented VPNs.
  
  Oh no! Anyway...
  Edit: checked the IP of my seedbox and about 75% of the entries listed aren't valid. Weird.
  
  But also don't panic out thinking someone on your network might have been torrenting weird stuff as you may just be behind CG-NAT or have dynamically assigned IP address.
  If you do have static public IP, consider the possibility of someone using your wireless connection without permission (even if you changed the password, don't forget to disable WPS PIN, or at the very least change it from default PIN, it's easy to forget about).
  
  This is awesome. I'm looking at all the stuff my VPN mates are downloading and they have good taste.
  
  If you have ever connected to a DHT network your address will be associated with more things than you can count. I've been running a DHT indexer/crawler and that page shows me shit I've never seen before in my life

What even are the reasons to lock content behind living in a specific part of the world? That shit is stupid.
- International rates vs domestic, if I had to guess.
  
  Also licensing deals can be country-specific
- Licensies
- Licensing deals usually.
- Licensing issues basically.

Next time get high after doing the troubleshooting ;)

Strange, it works just fine with Stremio with Torrentio and Real Debrid 🤔
- I sometimes use stremio + torrentio and it works great. What does real debrid add to the setup?
  
  Less buffering mainly. I can stream anything 4K and never have buffering issues.
  Not needing a VPN is a bonus.

Ran into this last night abroad too. Took me 10 mins to watch what I wanted anyway. Stupid.

I live in Australia. I used to pay for hulu ages ago, using a US credit card, but then they stopped me from using it .So the way i see it, if they don't want my money, then i won't give it to them. That's when i started pirating.

I use surfshark vpn with hulu. It works great.
- ProtonVPN and network bind interface with qbittorrent. It works great.
