Amazon Prime Video drops Dolby Vision and Atmos unless you pay extra::Amazon Prime Video has removed Dolby Vision HDR, and Atmos surround sound, unless you pay an extra $2.99 a month for its new ad-free option. The company has confirmed the move.
Usenet really is great for piracy, I’m so happy that I found out about it like a decade ago. So much better than torrents.
Shhhhhhhhh. Rule one of Usenet
But why? I’ve been using torrents with ease for a very long time.
Usenet is a lot faster than torrents, you don’t need a VPN, and it’s more reliable than anything but great private trackers.
I don’t need a VPN. I only use a single private tracker. All my shits automated and I pay nothing.
Also I only have 500Mbps which downloads pretty well anything I watch in a few minutes so speed isn’t really noticeable to me.
Once you set it up, it’s automatic. The *arr tools were built with usenet in mind, Jackett and the like are just wrappers, also Usenet is a lot faster and flies under the “piracy radar” unlike torrents.
Yeah but I don’t use the arr tools, I use the other ones which do the same deal but for torrents.
Private trackers tend to fly under the radar to a degree too. I’m not sure how Usenet does since it’s still a popular method and seems just like a private tracker without sharing your IP with your peers but you pay for it
I belong to a few private trackers as well, they’re not exactly easy to get into. I feel that Usenet is “more clean” because you don’t have to seed the file for X days.
Don’t you have to pay for that I think?
Yeah, but it’s worth it. $8/month for automated downloading of pretty much every TV show and most movies, usually within a few days of the official release (if you want release quality). Also it maxes out your downstream bandwidth instantly, unlike torrents. I have a gig pipe and the most I’ve ever seen on a well seeded torrent was about 50-60% of my downstream bandwidth.
