I use qBittorrent. What's the difference between that and private tracker?

In My Defence I was left Unsupervised
qBittorrent (which I use as well) is a tool that downloads torrents from whatever peers (other computers) it might find them on, Pirate Bay and RARBG (my current favourite) are simply websites that hold lists of torrents. Basically you download a torrent (essentially a control file) from the website and then qBitorrent reads that and uses the info in it to find the pieces of the actual file you want and downloads that to your PC. The stuff being stolen isn't on the website, it's scattered willy-nilly across the web indexed by a few key servers.

It's a seperate thing. I also use qBittorrent which is the software you need to download torrents. A private tracker is a site you need to be a member of. On pirate bay there is no incentive not to hit and run, that is download the torrent and stop seeding. On a private tracker it's logged, so you need to keep seeding to stay in good standing. Ultimately it benefits everyone. I can give you an invite if you want.

Watched them both and thought it was excellent. I'm sure I'm gonna enjoy it more than HotD and I am liking that.

It's vaguely annoying but they don;t quite get enough screen time to make it unwatchable.
None of you philistine Brits would notice anyway, ye all think we sound like Mrs Brown!* (Looking at you kebabking )

The backlash to rule them all? Every controversy about The Rings of Power so far
It’s only been out for three days, but it has already sparked multiple rows. From review bombing to the lack of female beards, here’s a rundown

Well this is bobbins so far. It has moved incredibly slowly in the first two episodes, and if you're the kind of person - and there seem to be many - who are sympathetic to the style of TV series that jumps between multiple characters while only moving the plot forward infinitesimally in each scene, and barely even moving it forward in a whole episode, then you will like this series more than me. Unfortunately I hate that style and can't wait for it to go out of fashion. I don't think it's even a good version of that style - like we kept going back to scenes with the Man Who Fell To Earth but learned pretty much nothing new each time. But also there's just no good characters. Even Galadriel, who I think is meant to be one of the main heroes, is whiny and petulant and not very likeable. And the aesthetics aren't as good as I expected given the money they spent on it - there's an unreal quality to a lot of the CGI that makes it a bit cartoonish, rather than immersing you in the world. I'll give it one more episode to see if they can come up with some non-glacial plot or good characters but I'm pessimistic at this point.

it's moving at quite a clip. In 2 episodes they've introduced a large number of characters and handled loads of plotpoints. The pacing is spot on if you ask me

Seems I was right!
There's nothing wrong with jumping between narrative threads, but something substantive has to happen in each scene so as to keep each thread engaging. Some hobbits offering some food to a mysterious man and him screaming at them in a way that bends the trees is not a substantive happening, it's just part of introducing the mysterious man. But wait, this is like, the fourth scene with him in, so why are we still just being introduced to him? We knew he had weird powers in scene 2 with him, so what did we learn here? Nothing. What's the next scene going to be? Him being a bit weird again. Fascinating!

Wheel of Time dialogue was appalling, especially the "jokes" which were epic cringe. Give me dwarf/elf bantz any day.

Oh yeah, the dialogue was clunky as hell, and most of the characterisation was really weak. It was only better in that one respect.
E2a I did kind of enjoy it though because I used to like the books and it was interesting to see the world depicted on screen.

Someone agrees with me (therefore I am right): Rings of Power: 'In an age of epic fantasy on screen many of the missteps are unforgivable'

Watched the first 3 now. Liked it so far more than i thought i would and will continue watching (for now). Can't really remember the films but as its a prequel i guess that doesn't matter. Did think the "snow troll" and "boar" animation was a bit dodgy for a billion dollar series.

I've heard ridiculous "english" accents in american shows before so i wouldn't take it personally.

I'm not. It's just getting on my tits. Luckily they're only a small part of the show.

Just pretend that modern accents are actually taking the piss out of the hobbits.
