look in the megathread its not hard to find

i tried many website in the thread but non of them work

took me 20 seconds to find 2 places that i know for a fact work since i use them

some of them can’t be downloaded cuz when i scan them virustotal says “malicious”

false positives are a thing, sources in the megathread are safe else they wouldnt be there you should try reading the instructions on the site or in the .nfo file

Edit: you should also not post the same thing after your old post got deleted

Read the megathread, its has everything you need to know

Valve is one of the few bigger gaming companies that actually try to give consumers a good experience. They have supported linux for quite some time now (since Win8 with the microsoft store iirc) and I doubt that will chance anytime soon

I assumed that CS was a paid version, Steam and protondb say it has a native build. Steam should download that version automaticlly unless you change it do download the windows version iirc

CS1.6 and Prism launcher for minecraft (you can bypass the account requirement with this) have a linux build iirc, I would go with that.

There is also [email protected], their wiki has some guides, not sure how in depth they are.

fmhy.net has some tools listed in their audio ripping section that might work, haven’t tested them myself.

Its usually through a part of the forums they have, you might need to reach specific requirements to see them. I got into most trackers im on through open signups. Others allow you to do an interview and if you pass that you get invited.

If you cant access the invite forums then making requests is your best bet, they are usually filled quickly and keeps you from having to watch your ratio on multiple sites.

If also just checked and have a few TL invites. If you want one shoot me a dm

Private trackers will probably be your best bet imo if you want to stick with torrents, any popular genarl private tracker will probably be enough. If they dont have it already you can request it and someone will probably have it uploaded in a few days (unless its something really obscure). If you can seed long term and maintain a good ratio then getting into more specilized tracker wont be a issue. If you want I can check if I still have an invite for Torrentleech, they might have what you are looking for.

False positive, most of the detections list them es generic or vmprotect. If you still dont trust it you can make your own fix, there are tools for that on rin.

Dead torrents are a lot less common as people are often rewarded for seeding torrents for long periods of time or seeding torrents with very few seeds. You often get faster download speeds on torrents with few seeds as people often use seedboxes to maintain ratio.

Dont think that true anymore, im no expert but rips from tidal or quboz sound way better to me then cd rips did

If used them a few times before tools to rip from streaming services became as common as they are now and thkse releases are fine. Dont really see a reason to use them nowadays tho besdies the scenes seal of approval.

Also I get your frustration with people not understanding what you mean with “scene” here, but tbf you could have specified which scene, in this case it would be the warezscene that you are talking about.

For those unaware about the warezscene, they are the groups that make releases for every type of media and are bound by rules (you can look them up if you wanna know specifics about those), the names the op mentioned are a result of those rules.

Scene groups only release to other scene groups via ftp servers, they dont release in places the average joe can download them. Their releases trickel down from people with access to those ftp servers and hit usenet and private trackers before then hitting public trackers.

CODEX (and any other scene group for that matter) has no website, they dont release to the public.

You can always check the megathread here or fmhy.net for sites that might have it. cs.rin.ru seems to have downloads for X-Plane 11 and 12 from a quick search.

Ultra.cc has 1tb seedboxes for 5€ a month but iirc you cant pay with paysafe cards

It doesnt seem like its fake but i have never heard of that site before, personally i use predb.net and xrel

Connection limits could be one part of the story, im not sure what the defaults are in qBit but i have set mine at 100 or something like that. Another issue that you could be facing is the torrent itself, it might already have 100+ people with seedboxes seeding but only a few peers downloading, since so many people are alredy uploading its hard for you to get any upload in. Try a few other torrents, preferably once with only a few seeds but quite a lot more people trying to download.

I have been using ultra for over a year now and dont have the issue you are talking about. How many seeds/peers do the torrents have? Might just be that there arent a lot of people dling what you are seeding

hawke.uno has x265 stuff, they had open signups recently but idk if they still are
