iknowwhatyoudownload.com is pretty unreliable. It lists some torrents downloaded from that IP and then likes to add some torrents (mostly porn in my experience). I’ve tested this with many connections over the years, and it’s not just sharing/rotating IP addresses that triggers this.

(My use case for iknowwhatyoudownload.com is mostly to see what public torrents other people have in their seedboxes.)

Also, I wouldn’t worry too much in Germany unless you’re downloading the latest YTS release or something. There are a few horror stories out there about being sued, but they are mostly exaggerated and not recent. That said, your setup sounds very solid and you should still use a VPN.

I’ve personally encountered some hybrid torrents on public trackers. Even if you only have the v1 hash, your client fetches the information of the v2 version from compatible clients, which is pretty neat. Maybe this was done by people trying to promte v2, but it is more likely that they used qBittorrent to create thier torrent, since if you use the newest version, the default option when creating a new torrent is to create a hybrid torrent.

You could embed the videos via WebTorrent and simply seed the torrents from elsewhere.

Webtorrents can simply be played in the browser, there is an example on their website.

Better publish the torrents elsewhere, so that you have more peers. Use a VPN or a seedbox provider (those ignore DMCAs for the most part) to seed yourself.

I’m gonna suggest two animes too:

Baccano! Non-linear storytelling, 1930s Chicago, and mostly on a train. Fantastic 12 episode anime (no need to watch the OVAs they are mostly an extended epilogue).

Akudama Drive: Fantastic cyberpunk, action. Awesome characters. 12 Episodes long and complete.

Note: I see OP’s (closed), but I don’t see them recommended often and both are only 12 episodes long and complete and extremely good.

I currently can’t find, if patreon videos work correctly (I seem to remember they do). For other services they work. Most people simply upload unlisted to youtube or on mega or some on vimeo with patreon integration.
For the ones on vimeo use the following yt-dlp command:

yt-dlp --referer https://patreon.com/ https://player.vimeo.com/video/<video-id>

I looked around a bit and couldn’t find it…
Here is a big list of Software sites, maybe some else has better luck. (Also couldn’t find anything via DHT crawlers and Soulseek).

You could try runnig it via WSL, since the Linux version is free and up-to-date.

Game Tech Wiki has an up-to-date list of Switch emulators
And an up-to-date list of yuzu forks.

• Lillies of the Valley by Jun Miyake
• Moments in Love by Art Of Noise
• 10:15 Saturday Night by The Cure

Both btdig and nyaa.si are online and fully operational, that seems to be a proplem on your end.
Skullxdcc background image does not irritate me because the background of the search results is black and not transparent.
Here is a more robust filter to block the background image:

skullxdcc.com##.fake-body { background-image: none !important; }

Interesting collection.
Some notes:

• There are two nyaa proxies pages listed. nyaa.si is the actual “official” one. There has been malware in the past on nyaa proxies.
• sunxdcc is being fazed out. The same developer made a new search engine skullxdcc.com
• btdig.com is another highly capable dht crawler that could be added to the “Torrent Site” section.
• Kickass torrents is long, long dead the remaining sites are sketchy copy cats.
• kinozal requires sign-up; would probably good to note in the right hand column.
• irc.undernet.org/bookz and irc.irchighway.net/ebooks are XDCC servers for ebooks
• I don’t know if this would fit the DDL sites category, but some phenomenal ebook sites are: annas-archive.org, libgen.is, libgen.li and z-library.sk

It’s also an odd choice to put the predbs at the top, since that’s probably the category that people are least interested in, in my estimation.

The fmhy.net website is far better to navigate.
For Asian content maybe checkout the non-english section.

yt-dlp (the most up-to-date version of youtube-dl) has hundreds of supported websites. The generic downloader can download from unsupported websites most of the time and if that doesn’t work you just paste in the m3u8 file as seen in my answer.

That sometimes works, but you might need to add some arguments like here --add-header "Referer: https://vidmoly.to/"

Yeah, just stumbled across that.
Video DownloadHelper a blast from the past. Haven’t used that for more than a decade (I discovered youtube-dl and never looked back). I didn’t look further in my testing, only promted me for a license when a wanted to download only audio, which seemed kinda scummy since there isn’t even a pure audio source on the website as far as I can tell.

According to the waterfox documentation you should just be able to install the extension from addons.mozilla.

If you want to use this addon on this website you still need the CoApp installed separately.

I just tried it and this does work but you need to install their CoApp, which seems to basically just an ffmpeg wrapper.

Okay, this was harder than anticipated. Maybe someone can find an easier solution:

Go to the video you want to download, open the DevTools in your browser (F12 in Firefox), go to Network (you might need to reload the page), play the video. In the search bar under Network type in .m3u8. You’ll get a file likely named master.m3u8. Right-click on it ‘Copy value’ than ‘Copy url’. Paste this in the following yt-dlp command:

yt-dlp \
  --add-header "Referer: https://vidmoly.to/" \
  "https://paste-url-here.to/master.m3u8"

This should download the video.
If you want the subtitles, search for .vtt instead (you might need to select the desired subtitles in the player first). You can directly open the subtile file and download it.

I really hope someone can give you an easier solution.
Don’t hesitate to ask further questions!
