Looking for shows I can fall asleep too with my husband.
The little stuff we did watch in the past couple years was through the easy streaming sites. But those are always prone to missing episodes and random glitches so I thought getting back into torrenting would be fun.
Sidenote: if I remember correctly, its quite normal for some torrents to take a couple hours before a seeder turns up, right?
Are you aware of your operating system’s ability to screenshot?
Uh-huh. Wait till you realise that the 1080p streams you saved a decade ago have a higher file size, lower bitrate, and noticeable encoding artefacts. Compare that to the 1080p streams you can get from various cartoon sites today, and you shall see that you’ve bamboozled yourself!
(I mean, you can just update your archive with newer higher quality stuff, but I need this moral grandstanding)
How is it moral to pay for a service that doesn’t give you the option to buy a physical copy?
where do you guys torrent (other than TPB)
Torrentleech is your best bet for a easy to get into private tracker that is good quality. Lots of x265. You can also try iptorrents which is also quite easy to get into but the quality control is closer to TPB except they would probably delete malicious stuff.
But if you’re gonna do public trackers you should most definitely get a seedbox.
Check /r/opensignups on reddit and make sure you read the rules of the trackers you try to join.
I use 1337x.to (http://l337xdarkkaqfwzntnfk5bmoaroivtl6xsbatabvlb52umg6v3ch44yd.onion/). I don’t know if there’s anything better though, but all public pirating sites seem to have the same stuff.
1337x
Waiting for seeders is definitely a thing, I once waited 8 months for a seeder to show up (and they did!)
Welcome back.
couple hours? oftentimes a torrent with zero seeders is as good as dead, and a seeder might show up in days or weeks, most times never. best to find another torrent. also, and this is just a personal preference it’s worth the download time to kick it up a notch to 1080.
It doesn’t hurt to keep the torrent running if you can’t find another source. There is still a very small chance that someone will seed it eventually. I’ve had stuff download after waiting for months.
The monitor we own is ancient and 720p so were good ahah
Joe Pera Talks With You is pretty gosh darn wonderful to fall asleep to.
Would it still work with subtitles? My husband is deaf so if the comedy works a lot of with tone and stuff it wont work for us.
Thanks for the suggestion though!
I think it might work. A lot of what Joe Pera does is sort of deadpan humor anyway, so part of the joke is lack of tone or emotion. His voice is very calming because he’s sort of monotone.

Here is a link to the full episode of “Joe Pera Talks You Back to Sleep” which is a beautiful episode. Give it a shot and see what you think. The autogenerated closed captioning available on this episode seems mostly accurate to me. DVD copies have great subtitles, not sure about digital variants.
Hmm it’s not very “haha funny,” it’s more the vibe of it and the charm lies in his mundane but interesting demeanor. Watch a clip on YouTube and you’ll see what I mean. I have no idea how deafness would affect the experience, I’m sorry.
I’ll never stop being sad it got cancelled. I wear my Tree TV sweatshirt with pride.
Dr. Katz Professional Therapist is also in that wheelhouse of quiet, calm, and sweet. It also features H. Jon Benjamin of Bob’s Burgers fame.
I wish someone could rip and upload The Simpsons Complete Series Ultimate Collection Seasons 1-17 & Season 20
Why? What makes it different from grabbing each season individually?
Normal is a relative term. How many did the tracker say there were?
Most of them had between 5-50 active seeders, the majority around 20.
I’ll wait and see. I’m in no rush anyways.
Did you open your ports
Do you need open them? I’m using Deluge and it is able to leech and seed, only having to wait at most 1 minute for data to come through. I remember having problems with Transmission (the torrent client) though.
And I also imagine it’s likely not an option to open ports, as most people are behind a CNAT (unless maybe the adoption of IPv6 by many ISPs (not mine) changed that?)
It could be that your torrent program is firewalled, and unable to fully connect to all sharing peers.
If you’re using qBittorrent, to display the Status Bar, go to the menu item View > (check the box for) Status Bar
The Status Bar should appear a the bottom.
Just right of center, there should be an icon where if you hover your mouse over it, tells you your Connection Status, i.e. whether you’re connected or firewalled.
Some trackers don’t update seeder info on the web page. Another possible reason is you are behing cgnat and most (all) of the peers are behind it as well, so you just can’t connect with each other.
Then that’s probably okay. Is your DHT enabled?
