Man, this is a throwback. Nice to see the project is still alive. Does it support thin client setups? I might have to get the ol’ seed box going again.
> The entire codebase has been migrated from C to C++. In the process, we've removed thousands of lines of custom code and used standard C++ tools instead. The core's code has shrunk by 18%. The core codebase has been extensively refactored to be more testable and maintainable. I love negative-LOC commits! They warm my heart. As do the people who take the time to make them.
At my previous job, we re-did some Java stream processing stuff in Clojure. We added functionality, made it more stable and dropped 6K lines of code (out of 18K for that particular component) in the process. It felt like magic...

If you want quicker speeds, look into usenet. Have to pay for a decent news hosting and indexer, but after some tweaking you can download new releases so much quicker without worrying about vpns and ratios. At this point I have Plex and Overseer hooked up to Prowlarr, Sonarr, Lidarr and Radarr, with Prowlarr connected to my nzb client and server (it was easy to cut over from transmission, using the secure ports to ta…
is there something for books and audiobooks in particular? i am hoping for a audible-like experience which can easily be created using booksonic and other servers but the retrieval part is the most troublesome imo. movies and tv shows have the best experience
They're a semi-private tracker, registration is open, but you have to actually read the rules, go on IRC and answer a few rules-related questions. It takes a few hours, but it's definitely worth the effort IMO. The amount of content they have is pretty staggering, and I don't think I found a single unseeded torrent so far.
They also offer ebooks, but Anna's Archive and Libgen have a bigger selection of those.

i've beem a MaM user since 2017. you can't automate it i think. i used a seedbox back when to get a bunch of points so yeah i get your point

I use torrents heavily despite subscribing to 4 different streaming services because I live in Canada and we don't yet have Hulu or HBO Max. Plus I also like watching some older movies via 2160p bluray rips and torrents are just the easiest option to do so. That plus it has everything. I use Transmission for torrents and then https://airflow.app/ to cast movies from my Macbook to my Firestick/Chromecast, which I find…
I never torrent for ethical reasons, but I just jumped onto soap2day to check if they had something that I've been on the lookout for (Abacus: Small Enough to Jail) and they don't have it.
context for unaware: torrents are more general. for example, official releases of open source operating systems, such as debian [1], are available via torrents.

Which indexers do you use?

Yeah, not everything, but between torrents + paid streaming + soap I dont have a problem. I google'd "Abacus: Small Enough to Jail", the full thing is (legally) on Youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKPa4OIVN4U But geo-locked to US only. You can still download it using any YT downloader @ 1080p (851mb), for ex: https://offeo.com/download/youtube-downloader/#url=https://w...
I kind of thought the project was dead with how long it went without a release. I ended up switching to qBittorrent about 8 months ago as I needed v2 torrent support. So far I have been very satisfied with the switch.
NO PROXY SUPPORT.
Ridiculous.

That's not a fair comparison, rewriting anything in any lisp will dramatically reduce the amount of cruft, both lines of code and complexity.
