I still am having mixed feelings in regards to Brave. I don't think you can trust online reviews per se due to their ad revenue model. IDK about replacing ads with ads seems like an oxymoron although you do get paid to watch while web owners are deprived of their revenues.
Firefox has always been better than good except when "the group" pulled the shenanigans killing all the add-ons with no notice.... Shades of Apple products.
I won't argue. However if you read the posts on the torrent indexes, cracked versions of IDM seems to be a favorite vector of people who would want to put nasty stuff on your system. Downloading stuff that's not intended to be downloaded seems to be a cat and mouse game lately with no winners but these tools do work magic.
Usenet? Who uses that anymore? It's a paid, centralized service... try something free and decentralized like torrents lol
My old Usenet group turned to garbage. In our heyday this was copying a dbl sided DVD and compressing the video to fit onto a single side DVD-R using Pegasys video encoder. The only other alternative at the time was DVD Shrink which was a POS and produced choppy pixelated video that was at the time according to group standards unwatchable. We had to reauthor the video once it was compressed, produce a DVD-5 ISO and post it to the Usenet for group comments. I got into PAL to NTSC conversion changes which was an insane undertaking given the tools we had. So the reality way, way back then was home theater was centered around DVDs. You were the shite at the time if you could find a way to squeeze DTS audio on your rip as well. That was the only real way to enjoy a movie at home. Computer video needed to come a long long way which it has now.
I can nearly saturate my Gigabit connection with torrents. 80MB/s is not uncommon at all, and it goes higher than that. Tell me, what speeds are you talking about?
Torrents? What torrent is seeding at 80MB/s? I have 1 Gigabit Fiber to the premise nutty low latency and my ISP has me 10% over-provisioned. If I get 3MB/s from a torrent I celebrate. That's if the asshats aren't holding the torrent to 97% for days. Exactly how long have you been around the Net? Do you even look at the original dates most of these torrents have been seeded? Most of the programs are very dated old versions of programs that have been around a while. TV video can be a few days to a week fresher than the Usenet but the movies tend to be of higher quality overall as size isn't such an issue.
is paid apps
