Pirating on Mac extremely slow
hey there, after doing some research it seems like the conclusion is your vpn. Nord VPN has a lack of port forwarding, while other vpns have port forwarding (proton, mullvad). that is most likely interrupting your speed. also, apparently nord does keep some sort of logs if your interested in that. i would recommend cancelling nord and getting something else like proton or mullvad (i would recommend proton more) if you really want to download movies/shows. another option for you (if you dont want to switch) is to find your movie on websites that don't require a vpn (aka not torrenting) but you can if you want to. you can use this for that, they have tons of movies and shows. or just use a streaming site off of the megathread.

Why does the Mullvad installer need 500mb and access to my downloads folder?
The 500 MiB thing is because the frontend is an Electron app. That's sadly how it is with Electron. The UI can of course be re-written into a language/framework that produces way smaller programs, but it's not currently really worth the tradeoff. Most people are not that constrained in disk or internet speeds. https://github.com/mullvad/mullvadvpn-app/issues/1572
The downloads folder access thing is because Apple made it so. If you run an installer from the downloads folder it will need access to the downloads folder. This has nothing to do with Mullvad, but is a permission check macOS puts on all software. The Mullvad VPN app has no code for doing anything in the Downloads folder specifically.

Unlimited Kagi searches for $10 per month
Requiring an account for search is a deal breaker. They say they need it for payment, but mullvad[0] does just fine without an account as well.

Why is there still no official support for openSUSE?
I don't understand why the .rpm package of Mullvad VPN still only officially supports Fedora. This issue on GitHub has been open for almost three years now and there is even someone else trying to help you making the necessary changes to support openSUSE in this PR. I kinda agree with cornfeedhobo's sentiment that the necessary changes to make it work on openSUSE are being gated. I'm a paying user for quite some years already and made the switch to openSUSE and I'd really like to continue using Mullvad VPN there without having to force install the .rpm package and thus living with a lot of uncertainty about how well it will run.
- Is there any reason why there isnt a "Connect to fastest server" option?

mullvad marked as malicious by virustotal?? I mary's says it's a trojan
It's just a false-positive. If you're still wary, feel free to review the source code of the app and you can even build it yourself: https://github.com/mullvad/mullvadvpn-app/

YouTube-dl has been taken down
I see. According to the Web Archive, this website stopped working all the way in November 2023, and http://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/ now contains all the same content as the old one and is the new "official" website.

YouTube-dl fork with additional features and fixes
See elsewhere in the thread for details, but youtube-dl was restored by Github and is generally not considered to be in violation of the DMCA. You can see it on Github here: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl
A copyright holder abused the DMCA process to take it down the first time.

Ask HN: What's the Situation with YouTube-Dl?
The best way is to download the source from github, run `make`, and copy the the file to $HOME/bin . There hasn't been a release for about a year now and the files on the distro repos are even older (I think).
Also YouTube has been doing some changes lately on the the player and a lot of the tools fail to download audio or video.
For example, in the last couple of weeks there have been some issues with a redirect to a 'consent page' : https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/32499
