That script makes this a lot more convenient, thank you. As far as adding trackers, I'm not sure if there would be a way to compress them, which is what I was going for with the infohash encoding. If you try to encode a whole magnet link in base64, it ends up being a mile long with all the trackers added in (most of which do not connect). You could just encode the infohash of the magnet, but thats going to kind of defeat the point and confuse people. I don't notice a difference most of the time with or without trackers, but if you need them, you can set qbittorrent to automatically appened trackers to torrents.

Yep, filesize is probably going to be your best bet here. Just keep in mind site sometimes report filesize differently, so a lot of time you'll have to guess if its close enough to be the same file, also factoring in other stuff that get packed like cut samples or tracker promo txt's.

I miss the old malwarebytes. Used to actually be good, and the serial keys I found actually used to work :( CommonSense 2023 works a lot better for me these days though, that and ublock origin.

eac3to to demux video and audio, mkvtoolnix or mkvmerge to remux to mkv. edit: You need to extract the dirs from the iso first though, you can use something like 7-zip for that though.

From what I have read on the upcoming implementation on i2p in qbit, I do not forsee it being adopted by the core torrent user base. The main issue I have with it is that while you can download from clearnet peers, you are only able to seed to other i2p peers. This completely eliminates any adoption by anyone using private trackers. Its not like the guys in brazil are going to jump through an extra hoop to hide their ip since they never needed to in the first place, so they can be ruled out for adoption as well. What I really fear is that its going to create a completely unnecessary schism in the userbase with a sort of 'leechnet' walled garden of i2p users which would hurt the greater availability of seeders. I also haven't gotten a straight answer from anyone how ports are going to work in i2p, since normally its imperative to have a forwarded port in order to be a full participant. Unless i2p users can seed to clearnet users without issue, I am going to be worried about the impact on torrent health as a whole.

Unless something has changed since I used it, you'll need to set PIA to wireguard only, and the adapter shows up as wg-pia. (or similar)

I actually got soulseek working through a VPN properly for the first time a few days ago. First thing I try to download, I find out the user has geo-IP banning, and the dude called me an asshole for trying to find a working server to download from, then permabanning me from his shares. So even if you do get it working through a vpn, be careful.
