Is there something I could install on Whatbox that will automatically unrar (or just copy if it isn't rar'd) downloaded torrents into a different directory? I have autodl-irssi setup to grab the torrents I want and put them into separate directories based on who the download is for, hoping to be able to further handle the files automatically so I can just setup some ProFTPD accounts for family members, giving them access only to the torrents they've requested.

There is an "unpack" section in the Settings which seems like it might do what you are looking for. I'm unclear if it will leave a copy for seeding though, as I've never used it.

The Autotools section is what I use to make a copy for Dropbox, which then syncs with my home computer while keeping a copy for seeding. I'm not sure if some combination of those two things (unpack and autotools, not Dropbox) would work or not, but if you're setting up FTP on their computers already, you could perhaps work something up with Sickbeard or the one a_skeleton_03 mentioned recently, Sonarr.

I'm not really sure how to do exactly what you are asking, but XBMC will played rar'd files w/o unrar-ing them and it shouldn't be hard to set up a library within XBMC that all the family can access, even remotely. I guess it depends on what devices your family members have to play said torrent files.

theres two things i don't torrent: porn with black dicks and 480p rips. i can't believe reviewers watch 480p versions, its 1080p or nothing for me now

also id be careful about seeding the got leaked files, HBO might go hard after those people especially on sites like ipt

Am I the only one who doesn't want to watch the first 4 episodes only to have to wait a month for the next one? I'm actually annoyed because now it'll be even harder to avoid spoilers.

Exactly my thoughts (including the black dicks), except I'm fine with 720p for TV shows. And I thought the exact same thing about the leaked files. Back when Expendables 3 leaked that shit was the top Staff Pick for like a month, and certainly looked like a honeydick to me. These look the same to me.

Also, what Pizoi said, I don't want to watch all 4 in shitty quality and have nothing to watch for another month. Guess I'll just have to stick to the no pussy shit thread.

I'm still pissed off with BTN's data failure. Retard staff were using a RAID1 for "backup" and the last offsite backup was done in early Feb. Anything since then was lost (forum posts, points, etc). I lost about 5 million points and a few hundred leeches. Ugh... such incompetence.

How the fuck did you accumulate 5 million points in that time??

EDIT: I currently have 270 torrents/305GB seeding, which is a lot. They all reset to 1 month seed time of course, but currently it shows I'm getting 137,000 points a month. I forget how much the monthly bonus increases it, but even at 10x rate I'm not anywhere close to 5 million in two months. You're either seeding TBs worth or have kept everything for the past year and more. Or filled a LOT of requests I suppose.

I get being annoyed about the leeches, but if you're really seeding that much you'll have way more points than necessary very soon.

Unless you're trying for Overlord, but if you are even 5 million is a drop in that bucket.

It was honestly probably more. My monthly point earnings is 3.3 or 3.5 mil (I forget exactly). So, February 10th until last week is quite a lot of points. It was really the snatches that are a pain in the dick to earn back.

Much better organization I think. You have pretty much one SD, one 720p, and one 1080p rip from Scene. Favorites are a huge plus, as well.

Kind of pointless unless you know someone that can invite. BTN has, for the most part, closed doors to invites.

Don't every use a VPN to access BTN either - they don't fuck around with that shit - got my account closed real fast when I accidentally went there with it on. IPT doesn't give a shit about that.

BTN is amazing for TV ... easily the best site I was on.

All the comic book sites fucking suck now for keeping really old stuff available to download.

They all just do the new shit.
