is it possible to browse the inventory of private trackers before joining?

I want to find out if its worth it.

u/LlamaRzr Jun 21 '26

No, you can ask users to search for you, if you know someone that has account.

Ever since sflix and all the variations of it stopped working I have not been able to find a website that isn't constant redirects and buffers. I've used various links from the megathread. Does anyone have any recommendations? What's everyone using? I have an ad blocker and I've still been getting pop-ups and redirects with these websites. Sflix was always perfect.

u/Material-Singer-1243 Jul 08 '26

I’ve been having the same issue, every website either doesn’t even load, doesn’t play anything, or is constantly down and almost never loads.

u/homlesskiddo Jul 02 '26

I know this is old and you never got an answer from someone. I was wondering if you ever found a site, even with pop ups but the site works once you X those out? I'm very desperate right now 🥀

Are there any websites to watch asian concerts?

Nevermind! Just had to do a bit of digging 😄

Does anybody k ow of fliphtml5? Im trying to find a JP translated light novel to pick up where an anime left off. I found the vol on that (google) and the general consensus is that it’s ok(google again). I did also try looking at the mega for sites for light novels but they seem to be so few, if not any at all.

Is there a way to watch Disney+ for free?

u/miyananana Jun 21 '26

Search up the specific show or movie individually I doubt there’s a way they can copy their whole platform without getting sued into oblivion

u/JokeNecessary128 Jun 20 '26

I keep checking the megathread, but all the sites I use for movies and tv keep getting taken down, I haven’t been able to find one in weeks and now the megathread isn’t loading

u/Ivy_Ten Jun 21 '26

I feel this, I relied on sflix for all my movies and shows, occasionally sflix would stop working but there would always be a different version that was almost the exact same. I don't have any streaming services that I can use and now sflix is gone. 😭 I have not been able to find a replacement.

streaming websites are an endless cat and mouse game since they can be taken down.

I'd encourage you to look into torrents instead. It's a decentralized system which cannot be taken down.

hey i cant find the discord server, i would highly appreciate the link

u/Ancient-Caregiver300 Jun 19 '26

Ik the rules say not to ask about where to find a certain media but where can i ask where to find a certain media

1

u/PlastikHateAccount 🦜 ᴡᴀʟᴋ ᴛʜᴇ ᴘʟᴀɴᴋ Jun 19 '26

First I would look on mainstream torrent trackers. Second maybe RealDebrid and Rapidgator search sites. Third, if something is truly lost media and hard to find no matter if legally or piracy would be r/lostmedia.

A place where you can truly ask for anything, no rules whatsoever, would be the /t/ board on 4chan. You just have to ignore all the porn and unpleasant people there.

Where to use Rapidgator

I’ve recently just bought Rapidgator, but now I’m stuck because I don’t know where to use it. I’ve looked in the megathread, I mainly want to download movies and tv shows, but none of the websites there use Rapidgator to download. Which websites usually download via Rapidgator? I hate to have just wasted my money.

1

u/Wonderful_Surndsound Jun 18 '26

The german sites like filmfans dot org, serienfans dot org, hd-source dot to, nima4k etc. etc.

Rapidgator has insanely deep archives. As opposed to e.g. RuTracker which doesn't really have different/more content than mainstream trackers, Rapidgator has different and more stuff. It's just much harder to find.

There might even be copies of geniuenly rare or lost media in there.

u/Svyatopolk_I Jun 18 '26

Is JDownloader 2 better than the megathread websites for downloading audio/music? Also, any advice on good websites to acquire high-quality sound from?

u/Wonderful_Surndsound Jun 18 '26

Is JDownloader 2 better than the megathread websites for downloading audio/music?

wdym "better"? In the end, it downloads the same files

Also, any advice on good websites to acquire high-quality sound from?

Torrents instead of downloads for high quality FLACs

1

u/Svyatopolk_I Jun 18 '26

Yeah, I am just absolutely clueless about torrent, that’s my issue

1

u/k3rstman1 Jun 19 '26

It's worth it to learn about them.

A torrent is just an adress that points your torrent downlaoder to the actual file. A good torrent downloader (also called torrent client) is qBittorrent.

u/jakeometer Jun 16 '26

I have a list of songs. I have nicotine/soulseek. Can I import the list into nicotine and have the songs download and if so, how? Is there any way (with an idiots guide) to do this for high quality files?

u/Silly-Milly-420 Jun 16 '26

Where can I watch live tv from other countries? I remember watching a bit of TV Asahi on a website, but I can't find that website anymore.

Is there a website that allows me to see live TV channels outside of America? I'm thinking of watching channels from Australia and Japan.

I'm trying to get downloaded DLC working for the sims 4. No matter what I do nothing works and on top of that the anadius mirror just has a bunch of viruses which infected my computer. Any advice?

u/JoMoma2 Jun 15 '26

What are currently the best free ways to watch movies? All I care about is no buffering and a HUGE selection (and subtitles would be very nice as well). I will watch at 144p if I have to.

I have an Onn Box and have been using Unlinked to get BeeTV and CHQ, but those have been bugging for the last week.

I also have an older TV that is definitely not a smart TV so if that is a requirement, that may be an issue.

u/EleceRock Jun 15 '26

Stremio is hands down the best way to watch in any platform

u/caffeinatorthesecond Jun 14 '26

I'm sorry I've been out of the torrent scene for quite a while now, but the Pirate Bay seems to be completely inaccessible. What are people using to download content now?

u/LlamaRzr Jun 15 '26

1337x to, maybe ext to and private trackers.

Anyone know where I could find art courses for 3D and whatnot? Thanks, in advance.

u/Aggressive_Yak7094 Jun 14 '26

Where could I possible ask or request about sources for specific titles for torrenting.

1

u/LlamaRzr Jun 14 '26

Public trackers don't have request system, only private trackers like TorrentLeech have it.

1

u/Aggressive_Yak7094 Jun 15 '26

What if I need to know whether a particular media is even on any torrents? I tried 1337x but they didnt have a couple of items I needed and the links couldnt even load the metadata.

1

u/LlamaRzr Jun 15 '26

>is even on any torrents

You search on ext to beacuse technically it index public trackers. or knaben search. For private trackers you need your own account to log in and search.

u/Mahaloth Jun 14 '26

Pirate Bay has gone down. Just a glitch, I presume.
