Which *arr for file hosters?
  • Ditch OCH and switch to Usenet. I still regret not switching earlier. File hosters are outdated (from the usability perspective), restricted (in terms of usage), and overpriced.

    There is no automation for file hosters. Solving filecrypt captchas and pushing to jdownloader is not possible to automate.

    PS: It's called file hoster not OCH.

    What does AC3D mean?
  • It means Dubbed. It's a short name for AC3.Dubbed

    The audio track(s) have been dubbed to match with the video track.

    The same applies to DTSD -> DTS.Dubbed

    Looking for the wheel of time audiobook series in German [Das Rad der Zeit]
  • It's a main stream franchise, it's all over the place.

    Found plenty releases on private German trackers (e.g. Robert.Jordan.-.Das.Rad.der.Zeit.-.01.-.37.Komplett.128kbit.MP3 about 32 GiB) or Usenet (House-of-Usenet board also 1 to 37 or German indexer scenenzbs.com Robert Jordan - Das Rad der Zeit - Band 01 - Drohende Schatten) or file hoster boards (like boerse DOT cx).

    edit: Also available on MAM (in M4A file format).

    safe to pirate movies from germany with vpn?
  • ISPs don't spy on users, would violate GDPR.

    Long story short: You'd get more money from your ISP than you'd pay to copyright trolls.

    safe to pirate movies from germany with vpn?
  • Option one: Join private tracker communities, no need for a vpn here. You will find the majority of stuff here anyway, compared to public torrents.

    Option two: Get and set up a vpn (preferable with port forwarding) in your bittorrent client. Bind your vpn connection to your network interface in qbittorrents advanced settings option page.

    Option three: Use usenet, since there is no upload involved on your side you also need no vpn.

    Piracy in Germany is kinda rare, don't expect to find many pirates in your private sphere. However if you find some, chances are they will try to stop your from torrenting and advise file hosters like ddownload or rapidgator. It's very common for German pirates, torrenting has a bad reputation due to law firms hunting down pirates.

    What's the deal with verycouch?
  • verycouch is offering two types of usenet related stuff:

    1. usenet access (same as a usenet provider like UsenetExpress)
    2. usenet indexer (same as dog, slug, geek)

    You got your post probably removed on Reddit due the fact, that verycouchs usenet access is a backdoor one. That means, that verycouch is neither a usenet provider (like Newshosting) nor a usenet reseller (like Frugal). They basically just subscribe to other usenet providers (or resellers) like we all do and resell that access to you. That violates both the usenet providers ToS and Reddits usenet sub rule.

    Paying for an API is referring to the second part, being a (also) shady usenet indexer.
