16 days agoYup going to do that soon :)
Still on 4.x, bummer as I normally wait a while before doing major version software updates but it is what it is.

Has it been happening since qBittorrent 5.x ? Only reason I ask is that 5.0 did introduce a new feature per https://www.qbittorrent.org/news
FEATURE: Allow to move content files to Trash instead of deleting them (glassez)
Maybe double-check the qBittorrent settings and verify that isn’t somehow enabled? I’m not on on that version yet so can’t be sure how that new feature works or is configured.
If it’s not that then I suspect the other comments are right e.g. a hardlinked file elsewhere would defintiely mean you need to delete all the hardlinks to actually free up space.

Is that one definitely scraping bittorrent DHT? From what I can tell it looks like it used for scraping IPFS DHT via HTTP. Been a bit since I tinkered with IPFS but I do know services exist to scrape the IPFS DHT, this might be one of the backend tools being used for that.
Not sure that is one of their official domains? https://solidtorrents.eu/ and https://solidtorrents.to/ seem to be up at the moment - but you’re right their uptime has been spotty.
As an alternative you could always check if https://bitsearch.to/ is up, that site is run by the same admin and shares the same torrent database AFAIK.
I don’t know if the site admin is around on Lemmy, they are (or used to be) on Reddit.
Looks like the block list itself is maintained here
Should be fine, just don’t cheap out on the external drive / cable you will be using. And when you’re using something like smartctl you’ll know right away if SMART info is passing through your USB for proper testing.
I’ve done a lot of these type of scans via USB drives, honestly the more annoying part is that some USB drives do wonky things like go into sleep mode within 1-5 minutes which will disrupt any sort of scanning you had going. So with USB drive scanning I usually implement something to keep the drive alive and awake e.g. a simple infinite loop script to write a file every x seconds, or if you’re on windows you can also use KeepAliveHD.
Hmm just tried it & it doesn’t load either. The last official onion link I found published on https://proxygalaxy.me (via archive.org) was in May 2024 at http://galaxy3yrfbwlwo72q3v2wlyjinqr2vejgpkxb22ll5pcpuaxlnqjiid.onion but it doesn’t seem to load for me in Tor Browser.
3·6 months agoNowadays I buy digital music (mostly via Bandcamp but there’s also HDTracks, Qobuz, etc.) & play the music that way. Can also stream my own music library if I want via Jellyfin or other applications.
re: physical CDs, yes I’ve got a ton of those too from before you could buy digital music but have already ripped them. Haven’t had a need to touch the physical discs in years but still keep them in CD binders just in case.
Also not sure if it matters but for me I’m always living in small apartments/rooms so I absolutely avoid collecting physical items, there’s just no space for that.
True, wouldn’t be too different vs just using a VPN. You’re choosing to trust the Tribler tech and the Tribler exit node operator vs choosing to trust the VPN provider. Granted most VPN connections are going to have much better performance vs anything Tribler related.
There is a nice side effect of running an *arr stack against Tribler, even in 1 hop mode - Your Tribler node is much more easily pulling in new content into the Tribler network for other users to access afterwards without needing an exit node. Ideally it’s just one Tribler node/user needing to pull data through the exit nodes while the rest would just pull it from you and share with other nodes in-network.
Torrents over I2P work the same way. If the torrent data isn’t found within I2P and you have outproxies configured you could pull torrents from the clearnet & afterwards other I2P users just share amongst the I2P network.
That’s pretty cool, thanks for sharing! Been a while since I tried it out but last I looked Tribler’s own automation features were quite lacking so something like this helps a lot.
I was not able to download anything with more than 1 hops in between - ie it does hide your real IP address, but only uses one relay in between.
Hmm I don’t think there’s any relays at all in that configuration, unless you’re counting the exit node itself?

One thing to keep in mind is that to download torrents from outside Tribler’s own network you would need to download through an exit node… not sure on the exact stats but last I tested exit nodes were only like 5-10% of the Tribler user base. For a while I tried volunteering my own VPN connection as an exit node for Tribler just to see how it went but the Tribler client kept locking up/crashing after a few days so the experiment did not go well… hopefully works better nowadays.
If you use Namecheap for email domain(s) you may want to consider also splurging for their PremiumDNS to keep your domain(s) off spam blocks at other email providers.
I help maintain some emails at Gmail/Google Workspace but the domains themselves are at Namecheap. For a while there were complaints that some emails never landed in other people’s inboxes… this led me to talk about the issue with one of the email provider recipients based in the UK & apparently they were null routing anything coming from Namecheap since they felt a lot of spam came from them. But after some experimenting I figured out their system (& probably others) were figuring out they were Namecheap domains via the default FreeDNS they use. On a hunch I switched those domains over to PremiumDNS and after that all our emails were landing in other inboxes correctly. I guess maybe it makes sense, a typical spammer buying a cheap domain at Namecheap isn’t going to splurge for the higher end DNS service for it.
I’m not saying all email providers treat Namecheap domains as spam but just be warned there definitely ones out there that do.
Yes - But keep both TCP and uTP enabled (should be the default setting unless you changed it).
Seems easier just to disable queuing altogether. Then if you’re worried about bandwidth usage just configure your “global maximum number of connections” and your “global rate limits” to whatever you need them to be. Also keep uTP enabled (under Options / Connection) if you’re concerned about the torrent client using up your bandwidth while using the internet.
It’s not the answer you’re looking for but it might be worth giving a try.
It’s okay, killbots have a preset kill limit. Just send wave after wave of human soldiers at them until they shut down.
Keep an eye out for open trackers
Or keep an eye on the invite giveaway thread in [email protected]
Or interview for the big music trackers and work your way up the ranks to participate in their internal tracker recruitment threads e.g. https://interviewfor.red and https://interview.orpheus.network
PS - Trackers like TL tend to do open signups a few times a year so it’s not really that difficult to get going once you catch an open signup.
Sucks but not surprising. Broadcom has a history of doing things like this, ugh. Even with their paid products they jack up the price so much that the only customers that stick around are the business enterprise types that are locked in & can’t easily migrate for various reasons.
since I don’t believe the qbt executable is signed.
Yup you are correct, another reason that anti-virus/malware type software will mess with the download or execution of the installer.
Based on the current info that’s kind of my initial hunch. The installer could crash if the user’s anti-virus/malware messed with it. We also don’t know if there is other software installed on the system doing things like that…
Otherwise, ruling out other things could be just that Windows itself is possibly borked. The sfc / dism method may fix that. Installers definitely crash when something is wrong with the Windows OS.
What version of Windows? Is this a normal install of Windows or did you do anything different/custom?
Assuming Windows 10/11 try disabling Real-time protection (Virus & Threat Protection / Manage Settings / Real-time protection) at least temporarily during the install.
Also disable any other anti-virus/malware type software you have.
With all of that disabled re-download qBittorrent from the normal download sources https://www.qbittorrent.org/download
When you attempt to run the setup make sure to run it as administrator so it is elevated (do a shift right-click on the setup.exe file & select Run as administrator).
If the install finally works, before you re-enable Real-time protection you should add the installed qbittorrent.exe in the Windows Defender Exclusions and Controlled folder access (Virus & Threat Protection / Manage Settings / add or remove exclusions) and (Virus & Threat Protection / Manage ransomware protection / Allow an app through Controlled folder access). The installed qbittorrent is probably in C:\Program Files\qBittorrent\qbittorrent.exe or wherever your programs are normally installed.
If none of that worked then I’d go with the other commenters, run RAM and hard drive diagnostics & make sure that’s all working correctly.
Or maybe your Windows OS install is broken somehow, I’d run sfc and dism in those cases (a bit outside of scope of this community but you can search around for that).
No display at all? I suspect something else is at play there…
On that model during bootup
F2 = BIOS
F10 = Boot Menu
You should be seeing something in the Boot Menu, or at least be able to get into the BIOS?
Also double-check the USB formatting, I don’t remember if that NUC has UEFI boot support or if it needs to be enabled in the BIOS beforehand. e.g. if your USB is formatted to boot legacy then reformat it to boot in UEFI, or vice versa.
I actually have a few of those NUC models around but am not sure what it does exactly with no SSD, I think/thought it should still be able to handle USB boot in that situation.
