I know that on the Anime/Manga side of things it's mostly due to Kakao and Naver from South Korea who are leading the charge because the way they handle western, or at least English, distribution of series is so bad that you can get better quality releases on sketchy piracy sites. And the pirated scanlations are frequently several chapters ahead of the official western releases. And, in the case of series that are released on the English version of Webtoon, the scanlations are also uncensored.

But what about on the Western/US side of things? Is there a specific heavyweight, aside from the organization ACE, that's throwing their weight around?

I know ACE is throwing their weight around, but they're also a cooperative organization of several western media companies and that's why they have so much weight to put on things. I'm wondering if there's an individual western company, like Disney, that's got the clout to pull of all these takedowns.

I was in the middle of watching The Killer lastnight and the paged refreshed and i couldnt access the page last night like 1:15AM EST. so i figured maybe maintence overnight but as of now Braflix is unreachable on my end even ran a 'tracert' and nothing. I hope this isnt the end of another site.

We still have these good sites i also use.

I was in search of a fun project to do with my home server that would streamline my torrent process, and realized that most things that I would need are containerized, meaning it could be easily be implemented into other systems. I decided to create this guide in hopes that it would help out someone else in the future, let me know if you guys try it, and if there are any steps missing.

Here are the things you'll need:

  • A machine that you would like to use as the host
  • Docker installed on that machine (Windows/Mac/Linux)
  • Some type of OpenVPN-enabled VPN account
  • Visual Studio Code - Optional if you know Docker CLI, but super useful for managing docker containers

Here are the 3 main containers that you will need to use:

Step 1: Create a Project Directory

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Create a new directory for your project:mkdir torrent cd torrent

Step 2: Create the Docker Compose File

  1. In the torrent directory, create a docker-compose.yml file:touch docker-compose.yml
  2. Open the file with your preferred text editor and add the following content:
services:
    gluetun:
        image: qmcgaw/gluetun
        container_name: gluetun
        restart: unless-stopped
        devices:
            - /dev/net/tun:/dev/net/tun
        ports:
            - 8888:8888/tcp
            - 8388:8388/tcp
            - 8388:8388/udp
            - 8080:8080
            - 6881:6881/tcp
            - 6881:6881/udp
            - 9117:9117
        volumes:
            - ./gluetun:/gluetun
        cap_add:
            - NET_ADMIN
        environment:
            - VPN_SERVICE_PROVIDER=[OPENVPN_PROVIDER]
            - OPENVPN_USER=[OPENVPN_USERNAME]
            - OPENVPN_PASSWORD=[OPENVPN_PASSWORD]
            - SERVER_COUNTRIES=USA
    qbittorrent:
        image: wernight/qbittorrent
        restart: unless-stopped
        container_name: qbittorrent
        volumes:
            - ./config:/config
            - ./torrents:/torrents
            - ./downloads:/downloads
            - ./videos:/videos
            - ./plugins:/plugins
        network_mode: service:gluetun
        user: "${UID}:${GID}"
        depends_on:
            jackett:
                condition: service_started
                restart: true
    jackett:
        image: linuxserver/jackett
        container_name: jackett
        environment:
            - PUID=1000
            - PGID=1000
            - AUTO_UPDATE=true
        volumes:
            - ./jackett/data:/config
        network_mode: service:gluetun
        restart: unless-stopped
        depends_on:
            gluetun:
                condition: service_started
                restart: true

  1. Replace [OPENVPN_PROVIDER], [OPENVPN_USERNAME] and [OPENVPN_PASSWORD] with your actual OpenVPN credentials.

Step 3: Bring Up the Docker Containers

  1. From within the torrent directory, run the following command to start the services:
docker-compose up -d

  • The -d flag runs the containers in detached mode, meaning they will run in the background.

Step 4: Configure qBittorrent Login

  1. Access the qBittorrent web interface by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8080.
  2. The default username is admin and the password is randomized on initial install. The easiest way I've found to retrieve the password without leaving VSCode is to go to the Docker extension tab, click on the torrent stack, right-click wernight/qbittorrent, then select View Logs. You should see the temporary password on the screen: `The WebUI administrator password was not set. A temporary password is provided for this session: XYZ
  3. You can change the password in the Web UI by clicking Tools > Options > Web UI > Authentication section. Enter the new password, scroll down, and press Save.

Step 5: Configure Jackett qBitTorrent Plugin

  1. Access the qBittorrent web interface by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8080.
  2. In a separate tab, navigate to this Github page and grab the latest Jackett plugin url.
    1. At the time of writing, it is https://raw.githubusercontent.com/qbittorrent/search-plugins/master/nova3/engines/jackett.py
  3. On the qBitTorrent web interface, click the Search tab in the top right > Search plugins... in the bottom right > Install new plugin, then paste the copied link from step 2 in this field. Press Ok and it should successfully install the plugin.
  4. Access the Jackett web interface by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:9117.
  5. In the top right, you should see an API Key, copy that to your clipboard.
  6. In your project root, navigate to torrents/nova3/engines/jackett.json, and paste the API Key under api_key, and save the file.

Step 6: Configure Jackett

  1. Access the Jackett web interface by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:9117.
  2. Set up an Admin password under Jackett Configuration, just to further secure the site.
  3. At the top of the page, select Add Indexer, and find in the list the ones you would like to add.
  4. Select the checkbox on the left of all indexers you would like to add, then select Add Selected.

Step 7: Test the Setup

  1. Access the qBittorrent web interface by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8080.
  2. Click on the Search tab in the top right
  3. In the search box, enter the title of a movie, in my case Interstellar.
    1. Optionally, change All Categories to whatever it is you're looking for
  4. Press Search, and you should see results like below:

Now, right-click on an item that you would like to download, and click Download. Then, click Download again at the bottom of the modal. Go back to the Transfers tab, and you should see that torrent downloading.

This should be quite a comprehensive setup guide, and I tried testing it locally to make sure it works, but if you guys try it out and run into any issues, let me know and I will try to add to this post.

Hello, I just found out I currently pay a little over 1000€ a year for subscription services and decided to cancel everything. Having 5 different subscriptions for TV and still having to pirate movies I wanna watch cause the apps are barren - I'm done. Netflix has done it with the last price hike, made me do the math. I'm keeping Audible, everything else goes.

I'd like something easy and comfortable to use.

I have a 2024 LG OLED TV. It's connected by wire to a router.

I want a NAS, preferably something that can run torrents on its own so my computer doesn't have to be on all the time.

I want to be able to play everything in 4K.

I don't want any clunky interfaces, I'm willing to pay more to have a good experience.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I was so happy when streaming became available - I really was. I was looking forward to not having to pirate things. I'm not happy about this.

ACCUMULATED RELEASE SIZE FOR August 2024

From the 53.238 scene releases, only 38.115 (72%) of them had file + size information.

They total to: 59.30 TB (62.175.979 MB) in 643 thousand files (642.850).

No idea about the size of the missing information, so the real value should be much higher.

Hello everyone!

Just wanted to spread some good vibes and let you know about this new site called AllWish ( ). It's for all of the anime fans out there who miss Aniwave and Animesuge (RIP ).

It's amazing to see how the anime community has come together after the unfortunate bans of Aniwave and Animesuge. So many developers have stepped up to provide us with alternative sites, and AllWish is definitely one of them.

AllWish is still under development, but it's already got a super clean interface, Hardsubs for all your viewing needs, and even Disqus support for comments. Plus, the owner of Allwish is the former Member of Animesuge team, so you know it's safe and secure. They don't even store any of your data on the site!

There's always room for more anime fans, so even if you're not sure yet, swing by and check it out. No pressure at all! And hey, if ads bug you, there are always ad blockers like uBlock for PC and Firefox/Brave for your phone.

Some details about the Site-

The site itself is quite new, but we're doing a lot of cool things. We are constantly adding in features, so please keep checking back.

You could import your anime list from MAL or Anilist-or even combine both. Some of the video players we have are Vidstream, Gogo, Doodstream. And our developer is working on a new one with features such as skip intros and skip outros, autoplay, auto-next. And yes it Has Disqus Compatibility.

In other words, we're building AllWish, listening to feedback, and fixing things all the time. U can also visit our reddit r/AllwishOriginal .
