    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.

    The French are famous for their privateering and piratry.

    They are also known for assuming everyone speaks French. Just mark it as FR or French and all is fine. No marking what so ever makes loads of non-French speakers downloading the files for nothing. It's just pure French asshole behavior.

    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.

    I'll take it. Cam rips are kind of a special treasure of their own

    I was meaning for like the unprompted movie theater interactions that happen to people who record but that sounds like a better process for fidelity. You just miss all the people

    This is why i refuse to get any upscale published after 2019. That's when nVidia start with DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling). I'm good, thx. If i want an upscale I'll snag a remux or the actual dvd from Savers or something and upscale it myself.

    Look, even if the chance of a leak is minuscule, it's still not 0%

    This also happened with the Minecraft movie, although I think it leaked at the same time as the theatrical release.

    Do they still put the latest releases in a .exe file?

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