With drives that size, you should be talking RAID6, 80TB storage and 40TB checksum.

Rebuilds will take a long time, and with RAID6 you can at least suffer 2 drives failures and continue to operate fully.

Its a great movie! Get onboard, do the lemming thing and follow.

(Sometimes a label is a distraction. expand your mind.)

1. Scan it with AV. This might still product false positives, so understand the difference between viruses and PUPs.
2. Go with keygens if at all possible. Run them in a sandbox, like sandboxie-plus.
3. Only download cracks from trusted sites, and from trusted scene groups.
4. Preferably check the crack with a MD5 or CRC, so you know its not been tampered with.

Is there a "$5 million and an ‘AGE - 25%’ " option ?

I’d be happy to go back to being 37yo with $5m and still dying at or around (or earlier) than my current unknown death day!!

If I’m going out, its with a lot of bang[ing]!

Darius III is a nice guy. Heads up though, he is a coder/tester. Tabula is for testing. Its functional, but don’t rely on it. His commits generally go back to nZEDb to help all the sites that come from that main alternative to newsnab (nnplus).

Darius was pivotal to adding sequential processing to the app, speeding up processing of many functions.

The project is just a scraper. So no human intervention is needed. So depending on your local laws, you are not in immediate trouble for it scraping bins that are potentially copyright.

You are better however running https://github.com/nZEDb/nZEDb which is the base project that is being worked on and supported.

But I don’t know anything about this, so stop contacting me.

You sure about that?! 😂 And that is just a simple search

Here is a different site.

I have all Simpsons, at max res as they released them! Same with Family Guy, South Park and Robot Chicken (RIP).

Also replaced all my movies that I watch on repeat often to 4K.

I have no idea how much data I used, and don’t care. USENET rocks!

In 2017, most content was h264 and 1080p. This typically made a movie about 10GB with just 5.1 sound. Same movie with DTS 7.1 and possibly 5.1 etc, would be 12-16GB. Today That same 16GB movie with H265 would be 6-8GB.

The thing is that now that movies are typically 4K and ATMOS etc (which would have been 30+GB in 2017. For the same given “quality” and bitrate settings, that movie would be ~15GB.

The thing we are seeing now in Usenet/scene releases, is that those quality settings are being pushed up. Due to unlimited internet per month and H265, allowing better quality.

So with that in mind, the answer to your question is, yes and no. I can give you an example: Fast X. I can see a UHD 4K HDR10 TrueHD for 61GB, and all the way down to 2.5GB!!

So now you get to have a choice! :D (Oh, and you can also see the traditional H264 1080p as still sitting at the around 10GB, and the basic 4K version using H265 is only 13GB)

Do you use Usenet? Then any spotweb(spotnab) site will give you tons.

Oh and I believe Readarr can do Audiobooks as well as regular ebooks (Not tested it myself).

Jellyfin or Kodi (FOSS), or Emby (Better than Plex, not FOSS, but developer is very responsive) or Plex (bottom of the rung, corporate money grabbers).

Run one of those on your media server, and grab the client for your phone, or tv device.

TV device can be chromecast, roku, whatever (nVidia shield is expensive but it does support DTS and stuff - if you need that (does your TV room have 6+ speakers?)

Personally, I like Emby. It just works.

ownership and operation are the difference.

So your connection can be (using port 587 for example) is encrypted. That is not the problem.

The problem is unencrypted or open filenames. Its the content that is DMCA’d on usenet, not the end user.

If you post up to usenet a file (being really simplistic since most people dont post) called “Deadpool3-h264.mkv” it will be taken down pretty quick on some services.

The problem is only with the users like you, who wanted to get it. The solution to this is threefold, get yourself onto a private scraper (one that only does occasional free signups) or be really fast on content grabbing, thirdly a site that has good de-obfuscating scraping ability. (there are a few out there that are open. pm if you are interested).

That’s fair. I did use them for a while, but in my case (which was very heavy duty), I saw takedowns way faster than others. Not saying they are bad, but they are “super compliant” to complaints.

Welcome! Thanks for also pointing out that yearly is cheaper that monthly subscription.

I couldn’t find the example I had in mind, but it was something that was over 120GB. and the unpack was 8+hrs on what is arguably a reasonable PC.

You forget most people do not have a CPU that has 24 threads, 12 cores. And on top of that, the amount of RAM required can be questioned. If you think your 64GB RAM and 16/32 CPU are “normal” then you are just kidding yourself, and its probably not your money you are spending on it to but it.

Then on top of that, most people have an ISP that can reach far higher speeds than you propose. Mine is a basic minimum of 25MB/s as a basic minimum. I’m sorry to hear that you cannot get even that, but that is as common as muck in most western civilised worlds.

Seriously? This is an actual question?

Exhibit 1:

Check for yourself: https://www.av-test.org/en/antivirus/home-windows/

If “Protection” is not the highest score, its shit. The other two (perf/use) are not so important generally, but I would say a score of 6,6,6 is far superior to anything 5.5,X,Y. Probably also means the company isn’t a rolling rock gathering moss. (“We make AV, and we keep it up to date” as opposed to “we are a megacorp, and profits overrule everything else”).

Do you want a simple answer?

fitgirl repacks attempt to stress your cpu/gpu to the maximum and try to overheat your beloved PC, by making the data for the game astronomically compressed to the point where the decompression time can actually take longer than the time to download the original crack on USENET by as much as 4-8x.

If you have USENET, don’t even bother. If you have unlimited Data on your ISP, just torrent the un-“packed” version. You will thank me in the longer time. Its not worth it in most cases.

Here is an example of a 75GB repack that makes it 56GB:

Did the time it took you to save <20GB download save you the additional 1.5 hrs to decompress?!

Okay, if the repack is under 20-30GB, its probably worth a shot. But even then…

You forgot, Speed, Zero Day, The backbone that distributes warez weeks ahead of any shitty p2p.

1. Usenet provider. I suggest if you make the jump, then Newshosting is a great option. Why: 5557 days of retention, up to 100 connections, and unlimited download (on highest plan $15/month).

Also Newshosting offers a FREE TRIAL. From there T&C - “Free Trial ends in 14 days or 30GB used, whichever comes first.” You might have to do a CC upfront, but just cancel it the next day, and run the free 2 weeks.

2. Will you find Italian content. YES, there is tons of it. How do I know? Because I host a Usenet indexer/scraper, and I see everything that is scraped on my server. English, German and Italian are among the top 5 languages.

3. NZBFind. That is a scraper/indexer. You still need a Usenet provider. The indexers just provide you with the NZB, you need the usenet provider (configured in NZBGet or whatever your download *arrr is) to get all the “parts” (binary posts) and assemble them together.

Astraweb is the absolute worst to be recommending. DMCA’s are instant. Connections are 50 (this isn’t bad, but there are many others that offer 60 or more).
