Have 4K TV show torrents entirely disappeared from public trackers?
  • For some shows I've noticed that it's not too difficult to get around half of their seasons in 4K, with the 4K releases for the remaining seasons being seemingly nowhere, whether it be on public trackers, private trackers, or usenet. Doesn't seem to be an issue of shows only being shot in 4K after their first few seasons, as in some cases the 1st and 3rd seasons may have 4K releases without the 2nd season having one, for instance.

  • Can locales of languages with alternate spellings be added? (i.e. English - United States, English - United Kingdom, etc.)

  • Option to put thread comment box above existing comments?

    As scrolling to the bottom of the page to leave a comment can be a hassle on posts with lots of existing comments, an option to put the thread comment box above existing comments would be helpful.

    If people are going to migrate to Kbin or Lemmy from Reddit, given the substantial downsides in doing so for the average Reddit user when comparing community user counts, minimizing differences — or at least giving users the option to do so themselves — might be helpful. While I wouldn't rejoin Reddit even if there weren't any alternatives, it would certainly be great if the alternatives had even a tenth the number of active communities Reddit still has.

    To that effect, it would also helpful if there were a toggle to automatically upvote one's own posts and comments.

    /kbin Issues
  • Too many posts weren't federating with kbin so I had to make a lemmy account to avoid missing comments from non-kbin communities, so hopefully the federation issues get fixed at some point.

    ‘Reddit can survive without search’: company reportedly threatens to block Google
  • The people using Reddit for its data have the easiest time scraping it for its data since they don't need API access to post, comment, or moderate; it's unfortunate that Reddit management continues to degrade the experience of the average user just to make it slightly harder for that scraping to occur.

    Where can I get the leaked Starfield video?
  • While most space games admittedly only overlap somewhat in the context of space dogfight battles, from what I've read the player is able to fly the ship between planets, space stations, asteroid fields, etc? Bit too FPS-focused and not enough economic-focused for my liking in contrast to Freelancer, but the games seem to at least share that in common.

    Where can I get the leaked Starfield video?
  • I'm always on the lookout for more games like Freelancer, but it seems like a bad sign if they don't want people seeing gameplay footage only two weeks from the game's release date...

    FYI: DrunkenSlug Is Taking Registrations Again
  • It's a private usenet indexer that periodically opens registrations; essentially the usenet equivalent of a private torrent tracker like TorrentLeech.

    best approach for less popular tv shows (edu / competitions)? usenet? something else?
  • Have you found a private tracker that works well for documentaries? I've tried TorrentLeech, FileList, MVGroup, and usenet so far, but my to-find list still has several releases I have yet to find in 1080p (despite most such documentaries having released since 2010). MVGroup is the best tracker for documentaries I've found so far, but they tend to upload lots of documentaries a tier below their optimal resolutions (ie 2160p documentaries in 1080p and 1080p documentaries in 720p).

    Do you store all your media? And how?
  • Given only 24Mbps of download speed split between everything in one household, keeping things likely to be rewatched backed up not only saves bandwidth, but also makes having a 4K TV somewhat worthwhile.

    Is Ratio Cheating prevalent on private trackers?
  • Having only 4 Mbps up and 24 Mbps down, without Freeleech building a buffer would have been impossible, particularly when competing to seed torrents with people with faster internet speeds. In the case of TorrentLeech, the best option is to invest ~2GB of your buffer into downloading and seeding 100 10MB+ torrents, giving you 4 TL points per hour. In combining the gradual point gain with the rewards of the easily attainable TL achievements, after a month you should be able to accumulate 5000 points, enough to purchase 100GB of additional buffer from the TL marketplace.
