The qbit logs just say “torrent removed” without further explanation
So the logs don’t have the torrent finished line right? e.g. It never logs "Torrent download finished. Torrent: “YOUR-TORRENT-NAME” ?
If so my guess is what the other commenter mentioned, try changing the settings not to remove the torrent & see how it goes.
To be fair that would help out a ton for the less technical users that aren’t too familiar with needing to browse and click through a ton of different menus just to get to something they can watch for free. This kind of stuff gets challenging for the older non-computing crowd.
And honestly if these remotes are going to have a default “Netflix”, etc. button they may as well have a button for the default Google free channels.

What’s going on in Quebec?
The federal government is following the same strategy as some provinces. British Columbia has recently banned Tesla products from its EV charger rebate. Nova Scotia just announced that it has excluded Tesla from its $2,000 rebate at the purchase of a new EV.
Quebec just relaunched its own EV incentive program today. It will come into effect next week, and so far, Tesla’s Model 3 and Model Y vehicles are still included in the list of eligible vehicles.
My network has reset several times and I’ve narrowed it down to an apparent DDOS attack
It’s not. You will need to lower your torrent client’s incoming connections limit and/or set lower limits to your incoming/outgoing bandwidth in your torrent client. It is clear your network router is unable to handle too much torrent traffic hitting it at the same time, hence the issues you are experiencing.
For qB
Tools / Options / Connection / Global Maximum Number Of Connections
Tools / Options / Speed / Global Rate Limits
There’s no specific number to enter there, you just have to experiment a bit and set lower numbers until the problem goes away and your network is stable.
shutting down the client doesn’t help
It will, eventually. It does take a bit for other torrent clients to realize you’re no longer online and stop sending you traffic / sharing your IP with other peers.
The dev shut down the github page in 2023 and later came back and re-activated it in 2024. Development is not overly active but there have been commits since then.
People still use the eMule client but nowadays the community version is the version that gets some updates
https://www.emule-project.com/home/perl/general.cgi?l=1&rm=download
https://github.com/irwir/eMule/releases/
But technically any eMule / KAD compatible client can connect to the servers and download/upload to users there e.g. Mldonkey is another client being used.
It’s been a few years since I was last active on there but back then there was still a healthy amount of users and activity, I suspect it’s still going strong.
Yup. The Tixati torrent client is also developed by the same dev team (mainly Kevin Hearn I believe).
I think that the timeline was WinMX, then Tixati, then Fopnu, then DarkMX. (Tixati / Fopnu / DarkMX are still actively developed and updated)
Should be able to do that with Jellyfin, no Plex/Plex Pass needed (if you really want to use media software for this).
That said I suspect your current method with creating a torrent to share is much more resilient when dealing with choppy internet connections. With Jellyfin/Plex it’s more of a direct download situation, not sure if either can resume broken downloads.
Syncthing is not just for LAN use. Even their homepage mentions transmitting data over the internet
I’ve been using it to sync devices over the internet for years. It’s also how people use it to sync from say their desktop to their phones, remote server, etc.
If you watch your network firewall Syncthing does reach out to servers on the internet to help it find other devices so e.g. if you enter the other device’s ID (example ABCDEFG-ABCDEFG-ABCDEFG-ABCDEFG-ABCDEFG-ABCDEFG-ABCDEFG-ABCDEFG) it can reach out over the internet to find that specific ID to pair with. I think Syncthing uses a sort of DHT resolver to find other devices, I know on my firewall I had to whitelist Syncthing’s servers to make it work.
I was going to try to link you some references but their forums seem to have connection issues at the moment, you may want to search around later if you’re interested how Syncthing works over the internet.
I’d say it’s worth it. Another bonus with your own domain is that you basically have an infinite amount of receiving email addresses you can use for no extra charge e.g. you can just keep making up new email addresses @ yourdomain whenever you need to register to a new website or whatever.
Drastically cuts down on the amount of spam you get at your main/personal address(es). Also helps whenever a website or whatever has a data breach, just means your random made up email address was leaked and it’s easy enough to mark that as spam going forward.
While I personally prefer not to use YTS releases due to their low quality, and can’t seem to find a legitimate YTS link
Anything YIFY/YTS related that exists today is clone, YIFY himself got into legal trouble and left all this stuff behind years ago. Nowadays the main active YTS site that most people use is run by the same group that stole the EZTV site.

Okay you got me thinking about this a bit, my own hardware is not DV capable so typically I just avoid media that is DV only. But for experimentation I tested a few media players on Windows
Interestingly with default settings none of them will playback DV with tonemapping (no HDR, just DV only aka DV Profile 5).
I did figure out additional settings for one of the media players, MPV will do DV tonemapping if you add “–vo=gpu-next” to the command line on startup e.g.
mpv --vo=gpu-next yourmediafile.mkv
No idea on any of the other media players, there weren’t any obvious settings to enable for DV tonemapping.
Reference re: mpv https://github.com/mpv-player/mpv/issues/9506
What software are you using? Most modern software can already do HDR tonemapping so it would look normal during playback.
I think the issue for you is that you are downloading files that are DV only, no HDR fallback, and AFAIK media with DV only cannot be played back with tonemapping (hence why you are seeing it all pink/puple/green). To properly play DV media you’d need DV compatible hardware - I don’t have that type of hardware so someone else may be better able to explain those constraints. My desktop is a bit on the old side LOL.
But anyway in the future you should download media with the HDR tag or media without any DV/HDR tags.
PS - If you run your media through something like mediainfo and give us the output that should give a more accurate idea of your issue but I’m pretty sure you just happened to have downloaded a DV only file.
EDIT - On second thought some playback software seems to support DV tonemapping nowadays. It’s been a while since I tried testing that myself, seems easier just to avoid DV only media. Maybe double-check that the playback software you are using supports DV tonemapping and figure out how to enable it.
Yeah I was just about to comment the same, that app has already been replaced in the Apple App Store at least for iPads and auto nuked the old configurations. Created a ton of confusion when people lost all their old remote settings and/or couldn’t even find the app on the work iPads.
Just searching for it gets a bit silly since that new app is literally called Windows App. I’d be searching for “remote” something but nope, that’s not what it’s called anymore.
Seems all TGx domains are down right now unfortunately.
Don’t know if this is a “new” domain or something
It’s not a TGx domain, all their official ones are listed at https://proxygalaxy.me/
You’re looking at a mirror site probably displaying torrents from TPB and/or 1337x.
LibreTorrent is the standard if you’re looking for an open source client that works well. You can install from the Google Play Store but from what I’ve read it works better if you install it from elsewhere / sideload the .apk so it can better access the Android storage.
BiglyBT is also open source and available on Android (never used it myself).
There’s also FrostWire, it is open source though it tries to do a bit more than just torrents so it’s not always quite what people are looking for. I remember the main dev used to be active over on Reddit not sure if he ever made it over to the Lemmyverse.
A lot of people do like Flud, not open source or anything like that but it does have its fans.
Didn’t think about it too much but yeah after the last update my Pixel 7 does seem to do slightly more(?) haptic vibrations on different screen presses. Or maybe they’re more noticeable, can’t quite tell.
Agreed, I always leave everything seeding and also disable queuing. Leaving “Global maximum number of connections” at default setting (can be set lower) along with configuring Global Rate Limits Upload/Download to something appropriate works perfectly.
Torrent clients are smart enough to juggle the active torrents and share the allowed bandwidth between them without you having to micro-manage the whole thing.
