If you can get in, Torrentleech has some items:
Adobe Zii 2021 6.0.5.zip
Its also included in Photoshop etc there.
If you have access to any private torrent trackers, if they don’t have it, you might be able to get an invite from someone on those.
Bear down, it’ll sting but it’s totally worth it of you survive.
If y’all have not seen The Oatmeal’s bit that includes a great piece on the bombadeer beetle, it’s a treat:
GOD made that butthole!
I agree that random blocking sours the reputation.
The only thought I can conjure is perhaps a mod got pissed about a post and banned everyone from a thread, including commentators defending our even just neutrally discussing AI.
I think more detail, perhaps direct comment from the mod(s) involved, is warranted.
As to “vote manipulation”, brigading or mass vote blasts are against the rules but harder to pass muster on a bit.
Again, the mod should have a chance to respond for sure.
Hells yeah!
Cattle mutilations are up.
Nice fukkin’ model!
Honk Honk
Yes, have some.
Switched to melons
Spicy flavor represent!
I don’t use it anymore myself, but a small cost nntp service and the Arr stacks automate away the piece hunting for the most part.
I’d recommend looking over things at this link for an idea on the tools. They are great and take most of the pain out of all this. It’s all open source as well.
You would still want to find an indexer (like a tracker but for Usenet information on what files to grab) and a Usenet service, but I’ve been away from that side long enough I’d suggest getting suggestions on those from someone else.
It sounds like perhaps torrents aren’t the right solution for you. Perhaps invest in a newsgroup service instead?
You can argue what makes more sense to you as much as you like, but things work just fine for many of us.
And as to the past month or so:
That’s without the credit system, but using those same torrents that you expect to just sit on. I don’t use autobrr or anything like that, just basics like sonarr etc.
Most private trackers now implement a credit system that rewards for making seed available as well. Even without users downloading from you, you accrue credit just for keeping it alive and available.
If you are impatient, this won’t really help, but it works well enough if you actually plan to join the community instead of hit and run.
ARRRRRR!
Solidarity with the proletariat is a hell of a drug.
… Also weed.
There’s flags set in the torrent tracker that might be getting in the way here in combination with the port issue.
There might be a seed, but he can’t forward ports.
The data getting updated from “last seen” is the tracker telling your client a check in happened from a seeder I believe.
Some trackers also won’t play nice and tell the seeder about you properly if your client has a history of leeching perhaps. Enforcement of ratio etc.
You could try another client perhaps, but if multiple behave the same then you are not going to get anywhere. Perhaps try getting a temporary vps to torrent into and then pull from there. Seed boxes can solve many issues, just be mindful of cost over time.
