Dodi ddl

I usually use other sites, but the alternatives either had dead links or 2 day download speeds. I tried dodi’s website with ublock and skip redirect, the end took me to file links on pastebin. Seems sketchy to me, I only really ddl and these pastebin links just set off a red flag. Can someone confirm or deny if the ddl links are posted on pastebin? Or am I not on the right thing. Seems like this site is mainly torrent friendly.

Confirmation that File CR is no longer safe

I figured the speculation was just a bunch of pricks trying to shit on a site that's for the most part safe.

Now I have a trojan horse on my computer 😁

Is Pirating actually Illegal?

I mean even if it is it’s completely Justified. There are some things like Internet Archive companies sue them however can they Legally sue them?

Trying to bypass DRM on rooted android

I have a rooted android 14 device and I tried every method available from installing LSPosed Enable Screenshot, hiding root with shamiko and even patching with revanced, but to no avail - using scrcpy i get blank screen on netflix and other apps.

Is there any updated method on bypassing drm?

For the gamers out there, can you somehow keep playing an open beta test after it expires ? like an offline cracked version or something, does that even exist ?

Thoughts ?

Where do people get VST's nowadays?

Hello all,

Am looking to set up a nice new home recording setup and want to grab some VST's for Live to help facilitate that. As a musician, and thus poor, I cannot afford all those fancy plugins but they will facilitate me making good music so I have come to pop my head in and ask if anyone knows a guy.

Nice one folks!

How important is 10 bit over 8 bit?

I'm looking at downloading between 2 different people for the same show / movie in 1080p.

One has AVC (8 bit) and the other has HEVC (10 bit) but the AVC one has a higher bitrate which is 7K compared to the HEVC one at 4K.

So does this even it out with the bitrate or should I always go with 10bit over 8 bit? Thanks!

Is it a good idea to contact an indie dev I pirated their game to thank them for it?

I live in a developing country and bla bla bla I can only pirate games.

I played a very relatable and heartwarming indie RPG (which is very underrated) that vibed with me personally, and since I can't support the dev financially and I feel very bad about it, I want to send them a nice thank you letter which is the least I can do to show my support.

Why is this question here amd not in r/nostupidquestions ? Well, because I asked a similar question there and it got removed for mentioning piracy I think.

This is also a very important discussion, is it okay to pirate small indie devs or indie games forvthat matter? even if I can't buy them? They pour a lot of their soul into these projects and often don't getvthe praise they deserve.

Music study programs

Whats the most trusted source of pirated software for studying music? More specifically programs that read sheetmusic and make you loop a certain part of a song and modify bpms so that you can study it at lower pace. I just need a well trusted source (for example like fitgirl for gaming) so that I can make my own research. Thanks in advance

Uploading files for sharing?

Hello, I'm sorry if this is a common question,but I couldn't find answers even on the megathread, so I thought I would ask....

I've been pirating for a long time now,but mostly downloading, and need to upload something to share now, specifically a few novels I painstakingly digitized.

What are the best places to upload files to share them online? I want to avoid places like Google drive and Mega, because of copyright removals, and I tried some anonymous hosting sites but the ones I found have time limits after which the files and link are gone(the longest I found was 1year).. I was thinking of the Internet Archive earlier, but with the DDOS now and also it being down....yeah no. Is mediafire a good option? Or is it similar to Drive and Mega? Does anyone have any recommendations?

Thank you!

Any Manga galaxy alternatives?

Since Manga Galaxy Merged with Vortex and are now putting new chapters of webtoons behind a paywall, does anyone know any alternatives? If not, I'm just gonna go back to webtoon, because if I have to spend my money I'm gonna support the actual creator

Kinda unsatisfied with Sonarr, is there a workaround for any of my problems?

I set up Sonarr in my PC because I wanted to have less work downloading anime episodes every week, but I think it's actually giving me more trouble.

For example, I already understand that Sonarr doesn't search for my missing content everywhere all day, just the latest releases in my indexer. However, since I don't keep my computer on 24/7 I more often than not have to go trough the trouble of opening Sonarr, typing my username and password (Which in my case is locked behind Bitwarden so another set of log-ins) then going to the Wanted tab, clicking search all and then confirming.

Isn't that way more troublesome than just going to my indexer, searching for my show and clicking download? If the Sonarr in my computer at least had a handy "Search for missing content" option but I can only choose "Launch Browser" or "Exit". Is Sonarr only supposed to be used by people who have mini-computers running it all day?

And after the episode finishes downloading I'm left with an extra copy in my "Downloads" folder for whatever reason. Then I have to delete it and if I want to still seed the torrent I have to manually redirect qBittorrent to my Plex folder with the episode, isn't that just more work? Can't Sonarr just move the episode instead of copying it? or directly download in my Plex folder?

I also wanted to ask about the other *rr programs. I'm not the Blackbeard of piracy, I only use Sonarr to download like 3 episodes of anime per week, and because of that I don't understand why one would use stuff like Radarr or Lidarr. Aren't movies and songs things you only have to download once every time they release unlike weekly shows? or are there people that want to watch every movie being released? I ask this because I genuinely want to know the usefulness of these other programs, if I have any reason I don't know about to download them.

That also ties up in my last question, using multiple *rr softwares + qBitorrent makes the startup slower and every time I want to do something that uses more RAM and processing I have to manually close each and every one of them. Couldn't Sonarr also close qBitorrent when closed? Couldn't it also open qBitorrent when opened? Ideally couldn't it also search for my missing episodes when open so I don't have to keep it running all day? Or like I said before, are these softwares only for people who have servers running 24/7
