15 days agoThe dev shut down the github page in 2023 and later came back and re-activated it in 2024. Development is not overly active but there have been commits since then.

People still use the eMule client but nowadays the community version is the version that gets some updates
https://www.emule-project.com/home/perl/general.cgi?l=1&rm=download
https://github.com/irwir/eMule/releases/
But technically any eMule / KAD compatible client can connect to the servers and download/upload to users there e.g. Mldonkey is another client being used.
It’s been a few years since I was last active on there but back then there was still a healthy amount of users and activity, I suspect it’s still going strong.
Yup. The Tixati torrent client is also developed by the same dev team (mainly Kevin Hearn I believe).
I think the the timeline was WinMX, then Tixati, then Fopnu, then DarkMX. (Tixati / Fopnu / DarkMX are still actively developed and updated)
2·19 days agoShould be able to do that with Jellyfin, no Plex/Plex Pass needed. That said I suspect your current method with creating a torrent to share is much more resilient when dealing with choppy internet connections. With Jellyfin/Plex it’s more of a direct download situation, not sure if either can resume broken downloads.
Syncthing is not just for LAN use. Even their homepage mentions transmitting data over the internet
I’ve been using it to sync devices over the internet for years. It’s also how people use it to sync from say their desktop to their phones, remote server, etc.
If you watch your network firewall Syncthing does reach out to servers on the internet to help it find other devices so e.g. if you enter the other device’s ID (example ABCDEFG-ABCDEFG-ABCDEFG-ABCDEFG-ABCDEFG-ABCDEFG-ABCDEFG-ABCDEFG) it can reach out over the internet to find that specific ID. I think Syncthing uses a sort of DHT resolver to find other devices, I know on my firewall I had to whitelist Syncthing’s servers to make it work.
I was going to try to link you some references but their forums seem to have connection issues at the moment, you may want to search around later if you’re interested how Syncthing works over the internet.
I’d say it’s worth it. Another bonus with your own domain is that you basically have an infinite amount of receiving email addresses you can use for no extra charge e.g. you can just keep making up new email addresses @ yourdomain whenever you need to register to a new website or whatever.
Drastically cuts down on the amount of spam you get at your main/personal address(es). Also helps whenever a website or whatever has a data breach, just means your random made up email address was leaked and it’s easy enough to mark that as spam going forward.
While I personally prefer not to use YTS releases due to their low quality, and can’t seem to find a legitimate YTS link
Anything YIFY/YTS related that exists today is clone, YIFY himself got into legal trouble and left all this stuff behind years ago. Nowadays the main active YTS site that most people use is run by the same group that stole the EZTV site.

Okay you got me thinking about this a bit, my own hardware is not DV capable so typically I just avoid media that is DV only. But for experimentation I tested a few media players on Windows
- Jellyfin
- Kodi
- MPC-BE
- MPC-HE
- MPV
- Potplayer
- VLC
Interestingly with default settings none of them will playback DV with tonemapping (no HDR, just DV only aka DV Profile 5).
I did figure out additional settings for one of the media players, MPV will do DV tonemapping if you add “–vo=gpu-next” to the command line on startup e.g.
mpv --vo=gpu-next yourmediafile.mkvNo idea on any of the other media players, there weren’t any obvious settings to enable for DV tonemapping.
Reference re: mpv https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/9506
What software are you using? Most modern software can already do HDR tonemapping so it would look normal during playback.
I think the issue for you is that you are downloading files that are DV only, no HDR fallback, and AFAIK media with DV only cannot be played back with tonemapping (hence why you are seeing it all pink/puple/green). To properly play DV media you’d need DV compatible hardware - I don’t have that type of hardware so someone else may be better able to explain those constraints. My desktop is a bit on the old side LOL.
But anyway in the future you should download media with the HDR tag or media without any DV/HDR tags.
PS - If you run your media through something like mediainfo and give us the output that should give a more accurate idea of your issue but I’m pretty sure you just happened to have downloaded a DV only file.
Don’t know if this is a “new” domain or something
It’s not a TGx domain, all their official ones are listed at https://proxygalaxy.me/
You’re looking at a mirror site probably displaying torrents from TPB and/or 1337x.
LibreTorrent is the standard if you’re looking for an open source client that works well. You can install from the Google Play Store but from what I’ve read it works better if you install it from elsewhere / sideload the .apk so it can better access the Android storage.
BiglyBT is also open source and available on Android (never used it myself).
There’s also FrostWire, it is open source though it tries to do a bit more than just torrents so it’s not always quite what people are looking for. I remember the main dev used to active over on Reddit not sure if he ever made it over to the Lemmyverse.
A lot of people do like Flud, not open source or anything like that but it does have its fans.
1·1 month agoStrange, are people really arguing that? Back in 2020 Alexis Ohanian resigned from the board of Reddit and asked for his seat to be replaced with a black candidate. Say what you want about the guy but he doesn’t seem that out of touch with America’s racial issues.
https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/05/tech/alexis-ohanian-reddit/index.html
I don’t have any issues with the guy but IMO the Digg thing may end up going nowhere if they’re really planning on relying on AI for moderation, just seems like like a bad idea overall
11·2 years agoBanning piracy? Like the mere encouragement or?
Just the mere encouragement & discussion, yes. The banned communities do not allow direct links to pirated content ([email protected] has a rule forbidding that).
It’s strange to see people saying there was some sort of legit reasoning, the lemmy.world admins did not receive any sort of legal DMCA/NTD request or anything of the sort. They were simply trolled hard by a brand new account from lemm.ee asking to defederate from “piracy” communities and lemmy.world admins took the bait. See the post yourself https://lemmy.world/post/3175920
Incidentally that same user has created troll accounts at other instances & have been getting themselves banned, they were already banned at the dbzer0 instance (see https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/1956277) so it looks like it was simple retaliation to attempt to trick other instances into defederating/blocking them.
It’s not. You will need to lower your torrent client’s incoming connections limit and/or set lower limits to your incoming/outgoing bandwidth in your torrent client. It is clear your network router is unable to handle too much torrent traffic hitting it at the same time, hence the issues you are experiencing.
For qB
Tools / Options / Connection / Global Maximum Number Of Connections
Tools / Options / Speed / Global Rate Limits
There’s no specific number to enter there, you just have to experiment a bit and set lower numbers until the problem goes away and your network is stable.
It will, eventually. It does take a bit for other torrent clients to realize you’re no longer online and stop sending you traffic / sharing your IP with other peers.
