My guess is it’s probably a national cultural tradition affected by previous or existing French laws and rightsholder practices regarding different common ways of “sailing”, making DDL from filehosts through debrid services a preferred choice over e.g. p2p methods like torrents, ed2k, gnutella etc. I’m pretty sure the filehosts+torrents products combo are a newer addition to debrid services without having used them myself. No idea about what their actual situation is and has been - but I know that some torrent trackers for French content currently exist today too.

Which is French too, and will probably go the same way as RD sooner rather than later…

Oh, I see. That makes sense. I’ve just grabbed a huge bunch of 6+ months old small-sized uploads to earn a load of bonus points over time, so that I can later buy some GB of upload to recover the ratio :P

Thank you. I saw that. But the post reads:

And there’s global free leech while signups are open

What you’re describing doesn’t sound like global.

Thanks for sharing! Seems decent for e.g. TV shows.

Where on the site does it state the global FL? I can’t see it, and it seems that my first downloads were actually counted, and affected my ratio a bit.

Have a look at SmartTube. You’ll have to transfer the apk to your AndroidTV and sideload it.

Even TS releases?

The audio of a TS is captured with a direct connection to the sound source (often an FM microbroadcast provided for the hearing-impaired, or from a drive-in theater).

Which JBODs do you use for your 20TB Seagate Exos, and would you recommend?

I’m looking for recommendations for a solution that will work for 3 × 22TB white-label Seagate Exos, but it seems to me that only very few of the various JBOD enclosures available online are actually good products worth buying, but it isn’t always clear to me if they even support 22TB drives…

It seems there’s a 560 and 560S, and they look very different from each other.

Just to make sure, are you referring to the 560S, or the 560 in plural?

Your link didn’t work for me, until I removed /en/ from it: new link

Rips are rips, with a degradation in quality compared to the captured source. WEB-DLs are the source itself (of a chosen resolution), with no degradation.

I removed my downvote after realizing you’re actually right, in a sense. In scene terms, a “webrip” can be a screen recording, whereas a “web-dl” by definition isn’t. By these definitions,

Things are usually ripped by recording the screen

could likely be true, even moreso if you count “recording hdmi stream after breaking hdcp” as a screen recording.

“spots” (are they like pits?)

Yeah, the petabit is made of lots and lots of tiny betapits /s

Or you could encode the hexdump to audio and press it into vinyl. But in this case, as well as the QR, i think, you’ll have to keep some physical backup (that isn’t encoded) of the decoding algorithms for QR or the audio, otherwise you just have some funky pixelart/bleepbloop sounds to enjoy but no data - if every other copy is gone… Well, you could spend the rest of your life trying to calculate it then?!
