Fellow pirates, what are some underrated websites and softwares that more people should be using

Wonderful weather we’re having, fellow pirates

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/dvdrCPr3gDQ

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

Yes, it but doesn't integrate into qBittorrent like Jackett does. Jackett is more for manual searching, prowlarr integrates better with other *arr services.

Kodi is more customizable and you can make its interface similar to streaming apps, otherwise the result is the same

I haven't ever tried it so unfortunately I can't directly compare. I've been using kodi + debrid for years though with zero issues, and since it served my needs perfectly I haven't tried anything new since. I even set it up on a chromecast for my tech illiterate dad, and he's been cable/stream service free since.

I do not see how to import sources

You need to install extensions before you can use the source section to perform a search. Once you've done that, typing something into the search field under sources will search through all the extensions you have installed.

even a local one

They have an entire guide on that.

Well, since it is just a an organised frontend for a multiple HLS streaming sources, I wouldn't worry about my IP leaking (it's not P2P).

Your ISP can only see the domains which you are connecting to, not the content that is transferred (cuz https).

If you are still paranoid, just route it through tor! It's just a website after all. (ik it's slow but it works!)

That is nonsense.

At least in the US, no one has ever been charged for using (implicitly non-p2p) streaming sites. People are charged for distribution - that is, the upload portion of p2p. Just viewing stuff in your browser is perfectly safe without a VPN.

If you have ever heard of IRC it uses that network to directly send files to you. Basically you need an IRC client then you message a bot for the file(s) you want it to send to you. There are xdcc search engines like sunxdcc and you can usually find books, audio, anime, etc.

IRC is a simple text chat protocol.

DCC is an extension for file transfer.

XDCC is a text command definition/protocol for interacting with irc chat bots offering files through DCC.

Its not as common as torrenting, so less stuff is uploaded to it. Also download speeds are dependent on the bot, so some dls can be pretty slow

The limiting factor is accessibility/usability.

Having to set up an irc client, with xdcc, and then learning about xdcc commands.

I like sunxdcc.com and i think xdcc.rocks is another option but i havent tried it

Sorry for the late reply I got busy with other things, anyway here is my piracy folder just import the file using your browser

Also, it's unfortunately not the case with the mobile version and the desktop version doesn't allow for exporting select bookmarks, I used Edge to drag and drop the folder into it then edited it then hit export

Alternatively, there are browser extensions that can do that

Just use firefox sync all automated

And Soulseek.

Ditch the www prefix

Not following what you mean by this comment?

nothing. Private trackers are overrated. Unless you want some obscure things.

There once was a couple of Danish sites where all content had Danish subtitles. That was really nice, and something you don't find on the average P2P-site.

Same. I just wish the Linux version let me drag and drop like it does in Windows.

Yeah, tbh most people do not use it to its full capabilities!

I was on µTorrent for a long time on a really old build (like 2.2.1) because it got even more bloated and crappy with every new release, especially over 3.0. I realized, aside from missing new features and stuff, it was probably a security risk being that far behind. I made the switch to qBittorrent and never looked back. It basically took everything I liked about that old style build of µTorrent and brought it into modern times.

No idea. It's just what I've always used. It does what I need it to, so. Woo

I think originally it was called Azureus.

A torrent client.

Idk, never really noticed anything. It dies what I need it to and that's it.

Data scraping.
