From the reviews I've seen about this, I'd give it a go. Thanks for this information.

@DandyLion Wow thanks. Seeing the reviews on youtube about this thing, I Think I'm going to go for this one then.

Trying another bump!

Another option, assuming you're willing to pay a monthly fee, is to set up a seedbox. Not only will the seedbox help out with your ratio here, many of them also offer the ability to stream the content to your phone or tablet, mostly via the Plex server and app. If you do a web search on the term seedbox, you'll see a ton of links, explanations, providers, etc.

@john32123666 Thanks

@perro2492 download recuva software by cc cleaner. it worked for me.

@dird-0 Hello If I’m not mistaken, synology has a torrenting “add-on” or extension (I can’t remember what they’re called for Synology) called DownloadStation but the one MAJOR caveat is that it does not support VPNs. I will do more research and edit in any more that I find to be reputable

@vancer Thank you! It's going to be fun exploring this stuff.

This relies on your data plan, other network provider has limited/max-out bandwidth to offer ... [This depends on how much bandwidth you are dealing with] ... https://www.fusionconnect.com/blog/blog-archive/fiber-vs-cable-internet-a-guide-to-the-differences-in-speed-cost-more/ Best deal is to call them and talk to your ISP plan service ... GOOD LUCK !!! ...

@magnajim said in retrieve torrents: my computer hard drive has crashed and died, is there anyway to retrieve my torrents (upload and download)? will utorrent be able to? if i download the ones i can find here, will it count against my ratio? someone please help me I'm sorry for your loss (losing your porn collection can be traumatic! (no, seriously!) You can obtain a list (at least partial - I don't know how far it goes back) of the files you've downloaded from your own profile. There should be links to each torrent there. (Click on your name at the upper-right of your window, choose "Details & Stats" & look for "Show your completed torrents) Unfortunately, re-downloading the content WILL count against your ratio. Even re-downloading torrents YOU UPLOADED will count! So be careful with your ratio and be patient while you re-build your porn collection. Oh, and now you know to backup your files!

@fruitloop88 thanks will take a look. No activate subs at the moment but got a few I’d like to sub and rip. Might try some lower cost ones first before committing to expensive ones.

Hey @paperback, before i got my VR Headset i used the VLC player. It has a lot of settings to crop the video and to sync the audio (though you have to do it manualy) if it's out of sync.

@jsl76 Thanks. dupeGuru found a few more! I had to set the "filter hardness" quite low, like to 20 (lots of false positives)... but it was fun.

@eobox91103 I got the seagate as well .. from Amazon but it’s a 2 TB... I should have just got a 5 because I own two lol

What you want to see in a VPN provider is: lots of different servers to choose from dedicated servers (vs. VPS servers) a no-logging pledge how to stay anonymous: Pay with a "cash card" or in BitCoin (or other untraceable funds) Change servers frequently - once a week is usually enough Ensure that your DNS searches are private - not just your p2p! (Personally, I keep the entire system behind the VPN!) To what some people are claiming about ports and open/forwarding: if you use an advanced server that actually overtly supports p2p (like NordVPN), you don't need to worry about this... they can see the port you advertise in your client, and they will forward it over your VPN link (and yes, that means you DO NOT need to open the port on your local router!)

P.S. (ideal / just gravy) able to handle faces that are partly turned away or covered (ideal / just gravy) Perhaps matching of pics also on tattoo, body or penis recognition

@ricky "Amen" to all the advice you passed along, and the Satanic references!. To drive the point home (clears his throat)... "ALL DRIVES EVENTUALLY FAIL." And as keeping a lot of TB of your desktop computer drive will slow it down, alternative choices include "the cloud," and twin external hard drives. Per other threads, some clouds actually scan your uploads for, um, "inappropriate images." So, if you haven't actually seen all the pics in the huge file you just unzipped, an element of risk exists. I believe another member mentioned a cloud that promised complete privacy, but I don't recall the name, sorry. Your post about 8TB of endangered content struck home, as I just bought two 8TB externals yesterday. I now have six 8TB externals -- twins to back-up my erotica, TV, and films. While this is genuinely expensive, I feel (especially for the films) that I'm collecting great and often obscure movies, in high definition, that I can pass along to two friends if I croak. If you go with externals, hopefully you can get by with one twin set of 8TBs. It would run you over $200, but when you think of the time you've spent collecting exactly what you want, consider it a gift to yourself. And you may get other suggestions here for alternatives. But as Ricky preached, get your 8TB of material off your failing drive NOW, and into or onto something new. Good luck!
