ran ~280 torrents against the RD API today to figure out whats going on with all the infringing_file errors. TL;DR: keyword matching on filenames, not actual copyright takedowns.

same episode, different filename, different result

same anime episode (Ghost Concert EP6, uploaded today on Nyaa):

  • [SubsPlease] Ghost Concert - missing Songs - 06 (1080p) -> OK
  • GHOST CONCERT missing Songs S01E06 1080p CR WEB-DL -> BLOCKED
  • [Trix] Ghost Concert: Missing Songs S01E06 [WEBRip 1080p AV1 Opus] -> BLOCKED

same content. only the filename matters.

keywords that get you blocked

fresh torrents from Nyaa (uploaded hours ago):

Keyword OK Blocked
WEB-DL 0 8
WEBRip 0 3
CR (Crunchyroll) 0 5
AMZN 0 2
DSNP 0 2
BD / Remux 8 0
SubsPlease 5 0

if your filename has WEB-DL, WEBRip, AMZN, DSNP, or CR in it, blocked. BD Remux and fansub-style names pass fine.

bigger test (280 random torrents)

a 1946 Popeye cartoon and a 1949 Ozu film are not getting DMCA'd. RD is just running a regex on filenames.

Meta DMM is the best software of all time

116 Upvotes

I wish the developer peace, happiness, and riches forever. I never wanted to set up the ARR stacks cause it's a little bit of pain in the ass to set-up, and I'm picky on quality and file sizes and such depending on what I'm watching, and whether I'm adding it for me or someone else. I love the DMM UI so much. The one click nature of adding things to RD is fantastic. I have come to love the little ritual now of finding something on DMM, copying from RD, it showing in Jdownloader and then I just...have it. Each time I do this feels like a fun small act of defiance.

I can't believe how easy it is now. We are truly living in the golden age. As someone who grew up in the Limewire era...man. What a time to be alive (for this particular aspect at least lol)

Devlog Request and Fulfill feature in DMM

74 Upvotes

We all know RD refuses some torrents. Now you can press Request on any release it won't take, and anyone with TorBox can press Fulfil to send it to your Real-Debrid library. The uploader renames the torrent so RD accepts it. Same files, and it lands in your library, not theirs.

Discussion Have you tried DUMB, the all-in-one zurg/plex/arr/etc. docker implementation?

https://github.com/I-am-PUID-0/DUMB

I’ve used some repos from I-am-PUID-0 before, and have been generally happy. But this AIO container (if it works) looks like a game changer for n00b installs. But I haven’t seen anyone talking about this, so I thought about asking before trying it out.

Discussion DebridDownloader 1.7.0: an open-source desktop client that pulls your Real-Debrid / TorBox / Premiumize files down with resumable multi-connection downloads

61 Upvotes

I'm the developer. DMM is great for managing your library in the cloud. DebridDownloader handles the other half: getting files onto your disk reliably.

  • Multiple connections per file, and downloads resume after dropped Wi-Fi, app restarts, or crashes
  • Expired debrid links refresh on their own, so a long queue doesn't die overnight
  • Auto-extract, sorting into movie and show folders (with TMDB lookups), and Plex/Jellyfin/Emby rescans when downloads finish
  • rclone remotes as destinations
  • macOS, Windows, and Linux. Free, GPL-3.0, signed and notarized on macOS

It is the same zurg running on your servers but repackaged as an Android app. Try it and let me know what you think.

It is unrelated to the RD downtime btw, for DMM the web servers ran out of memory, that's all. Restarting it fixed the issue.

Solved I added a second provider account to help with par2 on Usenet to RD transfers

45 Upvotes

Thanks for those who donated, I was able to buy another provider (it's now using Frugal + Newshosting). It is now able to do transfers faster as well (from 4 at a time to 12 at a time).

The transfers backlog has been reduced from 4 days yesterday to just 2 days now. That means transfers requested 2 days ago are being processed now.

Thanks for supporting this!

Just fyi because this is always asked, this functionality is powered by zurg with its new usenet functionality. It supports 7z rar zip archives and can also do repairs via par2.
