@eobox91103: I have a lot of "adult" material on my computer, as well as financial data, browsers with saved passwords, etc.  This stuff is saved under my user profile (it's a Windows machine), so theoretically nobody could get to it unless they have my logon password.  But people are clever, especially nieces and nephews who visit occasionally,  Is there a more secure way of locking down these files or directories?  Years ago I used something called Norton Encrypt, which locked individual files with a password, but it's rather clunky to use. A second question involved portable drives, such as USB sticks or external hard drives.  Any thoughts on good ways of locking those up? Thanks muc! It's been a few months since you posted, but it would be best to not allow anyone who is a minor to use your computer if you have porn on it.  Even if you have it password protected or encrypted, there may be ways it could be accessible.  For example, the software  you use to play videos may keep a history of videos watched and even have video in a cache.  Don't take chances with something like that.  Kids these days are smart about stuff like that.

@kazaafrk: If you're interested in sharing your vast library, … Let me know. While not vast, I've spent a painstaking amount of time finding names and cover art for my porn collection. I also have a little sprinkling of music, movies, & TV there as well. I can be found on Plex with the same username as seen here. Happy to Share 4 Share!

@leeniedo: They have uploaded 10TB not GB big difference. :cheers:

Having the same issue today…

@MrMazda: No… You should resume the download or seeding from where you left off. This will prevent you from getting charged double the download. Yes... This is usually a sign that the file has been damaged. Once the file goes to "Seeding", it is 100% complete, without flaw. thank u sir so much for the help

Didn't work for me… Does anyone know any other way to download videos from there?

Earlier we were having problems with the servers. We should be back up and running now.

I personally use Mullvad VPN. I've been using it for about two years now. I made the decision to use it based on strong recommendations, current privacy practices (pretty secure), and ease of use (for Windows/Mac, all you need to do is download the program and it takes care of the rest).

If you copy the DVD content files (VOB files) on your hard drive and you can open them without issue, it should be fine. As long as you can read them on your computer without the original DVD inside, it should be good for anyone. I don't think porn DVD were protected, from what I remember. Can you tell more about your process? If I understand correctly, you create images of DVD (>> .iso or .img files) then you mount them later and play them with the player of your choice, right? (because in this process, the image could be encrypted anyway, the player will decrypt it. But I'm not entirely sure. I always used DVD ripper softwares)

This isn't very much smarter but it might be just a little bit less cumbersome. If you copy all the text from the web-page and then paste it into a text editor window. Use a text editor than only supports plain text, or one that will convert it into plain text. Now you should have something that is easier to work with that contains the text you require but with quite a bit of other text. A lot of that other text is repetitive and so can be removed with find/replace. If you are any good with regular expressions in text find/replace then you could remove most of the unwanted text in a few actions. However just having all the text from the web-page in a plain text window will be easier to work with than the web-page.

I have an application called Movavi Video Converter (cost about $75 US, I think) that converts video formats, resolutions, etc.  If a DMCA-tagged video were converted with that kind of software, would the tags be preserved?

@beststriker: Internet Download Manager - Only one I would recommend :cheesy2: I have tried IDM many years ago, and I was not impressed. I tried it again a few days ago… they have improved it a LOT! I LOVE it!

@Sportif: @apanbl92: Does anyone know how to download videos in private communities from vk.com? I used to it with flash video downloader and i've tried different extensions on chrome but nothing works. Help! Gotta love when ppl ask for simple answers and the question is ignored. Social media darkweb politics aside… Internet Download Manager almost always triggers for video downloads on VK for me. Google crackpatching + IDM if $$$ is a problem. Thanks for that info Sportif..  I haven't used IDM in a LONG time.. I need to try it out again.
