1. Jellyseer is what I use, also allows others to request stuff
2. I download via torrents, automated with the *arr suite
3. My seedbox, fast speeds also help with my ratio
4. Jellyfin, just because i prefeer FOSS
5. Jellyfin covers that, if i happen do delete some show then Jellyseer still remembers if i finished it or was only partially done

Lots of seedbox providers offer all these tools with their boxes so you dont need to host anything

check the megathread in the sidebar or fmhy

look in the megathread its not hard to find

i tried many website in the thread but non of them work

took me 20 seconds to find 2 places that i know for a fact work since i use them

some of them can’t be downloaded cuz when i scan them virustotal says “malicious”

false positives are a thing, sources in the megathread are safe else they wouldnt be there you should try reading the instructions on the site or in the .nfo file

Edit: you should also not post the same thing after your old post got deleted

Read the megathread, its has everything you need to know

Valve is one of the few bigger gaming companies that actually try to give consumers a good experience. They have supported linux for quite some time now (since Win8 with the microsoft store iirc) and I doubt that will chance anytime soon

I assumed that CS was a paid version, Steam and protondb say it has a native build. Steam should download that version automaticlly unless you change it do download the windows version iirc

CS1.6 and Prism launcher for minecraft (you can bypass the account requirement with this) have a linux build iirc, I would go with that.

There is also !linuxcracksupport@lemmy.world, their wiki has some guides, not sure how in depth they are.

fmhy.net has some tools listed in their audio ripping section that might work, haven’t tested them myself.

Its usually through a part of the forums they have, you might need to reach specific requirements to see them. I got into most trackers im on through open signups. Others allow you to do an interview and if you pass that you get invited.

If you cant access the invite forums then making requests is your best bet, they are usually filled quickly and keeps you from having to watch your ratio on multiple sites.

If also just checked and have a few TL invites. If you want one shoot me a dm

Private trackers will probably be your best bet imo if you want to stick with torrents, any popular genarl private tracker will probably be enough. If they dont have it already you can request it and someone will probably have it uploaded in a few days (unless its something really obscure). If you can seed long term and maintain a good ratio then getting into more specilized tracker wont be a issue. If you want I can check if I still have an invite for Torrentleech, they might have what you are looking for.

False positive, most of the detections list them es generic or vmprotect. If you still dont trust it you can make your own fix, there are tools for that on rin.

Dead torrents are a lot less common as people are often rewarded for seeding torrents for long periods of time or seeding torrents with very few seeds. You often get faster download speeds on torrents with few seeds as people often use seedboxes to maintain ratio.

If used them a few times before tools to rip from streaming services became as common as they are now and thkse releases are fine. Dont really see a reason to use them nowadays tho besdies the scenes seal of approval.

Also I get your frustration with people not understanding what you mean with “scene” here, but tbf you could have specified which scene, in this case it would be the warezscene that you are talking about.

For those unaware about the warezscene, they are the groups that make releases for every type of media and are bound by rules (you can look them up if you wanna know specifics about those), the names the op mentioned are a result of those rules.
