Unless you switch to using crf, which tries to give a consistent quality level, damn the file size.

op is describing the source video file bitrate, not the target codec bitrate. 6000kbps compresses to different amounts depending on the codec and quality used. Op doesnt mention the quality factor for the codecs, so this is less than helpful.
Yeah, jellyfin isnt the greatest about handling the space around a movie. I also have similiar issues. I usually end up playing the movies in vlc and pressing ‘c’ until the video fits the screen best.
I have found that a combination of litebg.se (an active rarbg clone) and torrentgalaxy has been enoug for most of my needs.
I use a ip link checker - to verify the vpn is working like it should. They’re a dime a dozen but this one is the one that showed up first on my search.
basically, you download a unique-to-you magnet torrent, and then the torrent / website will tell you what ip is being shown to the outside world. if you leave it in your client you can see at a glance what ip you are actually using in your client.
On top of the other comments, your private tracker will have a tutorial/rulebook on exactly how new content should be labelled. It’s worth checking that out before you start experimenting with encoding quality options.
if there was an extention that could skip the sponsor segments inside the videos themselves I’d use it in a heartbeat.
sponsorblock does that. it’s crowd sourced, so it doesn’t always work with the small channel newest videos, but it’s very good at what it does considering.
With prices being about 14$/tb on sale for the cheapest 8-16tb drives, yeah, it really is. And if the cheap drive breaks, no problem, you only had public torrents on it anyways.
Honestly. I’ll bet there’s even a web-dl version of OPs movie out there, so it’s the exact same thing sans drm.

If you have a hard drive as your main storage, and in particular a raid array of smr hard drives, it’s worth checking the ‘pre-allocate disk space for all files’ check box in the connection settings. it keeps disk fragmentation down and lowers raid thrashing a shitton when downloading large media files. You won’t notice if it’s just you using your one hard drive, but it made a huge difference on my raid5 smr setup.
All of the ones I have at least. It’s not like DHT/PeX stopped working when rarbg did.
The graduated system of adulthood in this country is very odd in many ways. The age of consent, when you’re old enough to start drawing a paycheck, when you’re allowed to start driving, when you’re allowed to start voting, and when you’re allowed to buy marajuana or alcohol are all different ages. And through all of this you’re expected to conduct yourself like an adult while your brain chemistry is going through radical changes.
I’m not so sure I completely agree. A better done graduated system could do a lot better than a single all or nothing system could. Specifically, drugs in general. It’s not just that drugs are bad or whatever. it’s that the ease with which a company can exploit a younger person, combined with the fact that under a general age the young adults are all having their brains still developed, that the cost to society for allowing drug use is a lot higher than the cost of allowing drug use for older folks.
i have a cheap 1650 that can do four 4k transcodes on the fly with no issue. It was a 100$ upgrade. Frankly, this is a bad take. Obviously every situation is different, but unless you have a family of twenty that you’re sharing your server with, 4k encoding is incredibly easy to do these days.
