Endeavour OS. It’s solid.

I don’t recommend Manjaro. Its delayed release but no testing methodology has caused me grief a number of times. I still run a VM with it on it, but the only VM OS that has had more issues was windows

Edit it’s /its

Damn. TIL. knew about the first of course but who am i as three seperate pieces is new to me

Only one of the two sides needs a port open so I’m sure your seeding is contributing

Given it looks like you’re the only seed (and a quick check on lime torrents only has 1 seed for the new normal s01 ep 1-22 (I assume that’s the above ?) then yeah, you’re the only one fighting the good fight ! Don’t stop :-D

EDIT

Bollocks to bad search techniques - it seems there’s about 4000 seeders for multiple different copies of it (the above version does indeed only have one though). I just thought “sod it, if there’s only 1 seeder I’ll help out”. Went and looked again <sigh> Help not needed.

There is not always demand, you need to leave the torrent app running in the background when ever you have the PC on - then when someone wants it you’ll get a connection.

Transformers earthspark for one off the top of my head - my upload ratio is triple digits but there’s never more than single digit seeders

Yes absolutely, keeping your trackers up to date is important, they do expire

https://newtrackon.com/list

for example

will give you an up to date list of live trackers to replace the dead ones with

You’ve had a good answer by letstakealook, but just to expand on one point, you need to leave your torrent application (qbittorrent or whatever) running in the background for an extended period. If you close the app and don’t load it again after you’ve got the download then you’re not seeding - seeding means to share it to others after you’ve finished downloading

You can seed without port forwarding, it just means the other side needs to have it.

Just keep your torrent client running and people will connect

Nice, glad it worked for you

Here’s a pastebin of the magnet links (4 of) as per below msg

I got them off 1337x.to back about a year ago, but as I just found out when I went and searched they no longer have it indexed (presumably too long at 0)

I tried to DM the magnet link to someone who DM’d but for some reason that didn’t work. Happy to share the links if that is useful

this is what’s in the stuff I’m trying to chase down - video footage, early singles that sort of thing (hopefully the pic works)

Yeah that didnt work, maybe this link

EDIT

I’m an idiot those are most of the albums/EPs and I don’t have “for the ladies” and “rollercoaster” thank you

Cheers. That’s their song with someone else’s video, I’ll grab it and stick it in the “adaptions” folder

Fair enough - racks in entirety/untouched dramatically reduces the risk of not being able to get stuff back up because of miscabling or missed cabling. I could see that approach being sensible if you’re moving across town.

I personally wouldnt if moving between cities, YMMV of course.

MP3 is fine thank you

I already have the well known albums (On Ice, Paging Mr Strike, Bring it on, Second Page for Mr Strike)

Really appreciate the response, thank you. I do actually have those 3 albums (bought the CDs), I’m more chasing the rarer stuff. But that link will get added and seeded now

I’ve been in charge of relocating several data centres.

We tore everything down, servers out of racks etc.

All servers, fabric switches drive arrays etc were individually wrapped in bubble wrap then the heavy removalists cloth then into the large metal moving boxes (1500mmx1500mmx1500mm roughly) before being stacked so they couldn’t move around, followed by ratchet straps securing groups of kit together.

All this was done by professional removalists - no reason you can’t do it though.

Basically the principle is flexible padding (bubble wrap) to allow for movement close to the device without impacting it, heavy shock absorbing material (the felt), then put into a robust container (metal box) so limiting impact risk.

I’d strongly recommend NOT to leave them in the rack - a couple of screws vibrate loose and then that device drops onto the one below it, bounces up and down through the journey and wrecks them both.

If it’s a mile up the road, sure, you’ll probably be fine and get away with it, multiple hours on the road ? It’s not surviving it.

I wonder what his definition of Transshipping would be

I think that’s when a fishing boat puts on some guns and radar and starts calling itself a battleship ?

2 of those def do port forwarding (airvpn & proton) dunno about the other 2
