Aha, thank you!

Any of the trackers that show up on the open signups forums, e.g., OnlyEncodes+ and FearNoPeer (both Unit3d based).

I experienced this off and on yesterday. The issue seems to have been resolved. Good luck.

pay to leech

Just chiming in w/ my own experience: In the six weeks since I joined through open registration, there have been at least two periods of global freeleech. Even outside of those times, almost everything I’ve searched for has had multiple versions to choose from, and more often than not, at least one of those versions is permanent freeleech.

There are also multiple bonus point giveaways daily. While there are various donation tiers for those who cannot or will not maintain their ratio through seeding or bonus point buys, it’s definitely not pay to leech—I started from scratch a month ago and I’m doing fine.

We appreciate it!

This was very informative. I can live w/ RAR files, especially in situations where it’s the only version of something I can find, but I didn’t understand the why until I read your comment. Thanks for explaining that.

I signed up and I’m seeing a lot of torrents w/ RAR files. What’s the draw of packaging everything as RAR files instead of just rolling with the original files?

For anyone looking to get into the PT scene, YuScene is a great place to start. I’m not on the staff, but I’m a member and diggin’ it. Open registration and global freeleech are activated until Weds July 9th @ 20:00 UTC.

Right? I see lots of people recommending MaM for audiobooks, but not allowing VPN during the initial registration process is a hard no for me. Oh well.

Heads up about myanonamouse - they forbid VPNs during the initial interview, although apparently they allow VPNs after that.

Seems like this might still be the way in 2025. Thanks for chiming in!

I had a feeling this might be the answer, so thanks for confirming my suspicion!

I’ll check it out, thanks for the pointer!

That’s what I thought—thanks for confirming my suspicion.

I was wondering if anyone would bring up Incus. I’m still pretty new to all this. From what I can tell, there seems to be a larger community around Proxmox, but I’ve seen enough mentions of Incus to pique my curiosity. I’ll have to explore this some more. Thanks for mentioning it.

Good point, thanks for clarifying that. I suppose the theft scenario is iffy, but it’ll still help in case I ever sell (or junk) the disk.

These notes are gold—thank you so much for sharing!

You swapped the kernel? I guess I’ll find out soon enough when I attempt my setup, but as I gather up the motivation to dive in, I’m assuming it will be as simple as installing a proxmox package or something. I guess I should re-read the guides. 🤣

That would be dope if you wouldn’t mind sharing your notes. There’s a decent amount of documentation out there already, but I often find it extremely valuable to read different people’s perspectives from real life experience in addition to the official guides. No pressure. Either way, thanks for chiming in!

Good to know. Thanks!

Peace of mind.
