      Private trackers or good (paid) Usenet indexers are two solutions for *arr tools specifically. If you’re manually adding files then just get them from trusted uploaders, manually check the upload before getting it.

        I have both and indeed never get a .exe file. The only bad files I get are the French dubbed and subbed while it doesn’t say in the title. I did blacklist a few but once in a while another French version gets through the defenses. God damn French people. Often the English audio is included too, but not a single sub I can find on opensubtitles fits the video stream and I like to watch with English subs.

      I got a .exe for the first time in my life last week. There was a webrip of Odyssey that was on the pirate bay but yeah it was .exe. i did have good luck with that before though because I got a webrip of Project Hail Mary when it was still in theatres.

          It was out on streaming in Russia by then, I’m assuming because it had baked in Russian subtitles for onscreen written words. Other than that the audio and video was rip quality and it was still in theatres in North America so I didn’t ask too many questions.

    Personally I’m hoping for some type of piracy technology that will even let us download the movies before they where even made. How? I don’t know, nor do I care how its done, just create this tech already. We need it.

      Last movie I saw in theaters I stopped at the bathroom and there was a guy walking out carrying a cup holder phone mount. Homie was doing the Lord’s work.

    Everyone has something we’re good at, but most of the time we don’t consider it worthy of note.
