The Amber Room on Telegram is the spiritual successor to The Trove that is actively updated. I can confirm it does have the World of Darkness books.
That sounds a bit suspicious to me.
You are looking for the arr scripts (formally arr-extended). https://github.com/RandomNinjaAtk/arr-scripts/blob/main/lidarr/readme.md
hallowed is the internal release group at MTV. Their aim is to produce highly streamable (think Plex/Jellyfin) but still high quality encodes. They also always include English subs and dual audio for foreign films. The quality of their releases are good but very few as they only started releasing under that name about 5 months ago.
However, if you are gunning for highest possible quality/bitrate (and file size) you can get, go with releases by CtrlHD, MainFrame or W4NK3R.
There isn’t an alternative to it at this time. Although, it’s not up to Kemono to keep content updated, it relies on the users for the site to pay for the content and then share it. It’s not their fault if the content you want to pirate is missing.
You can but you don’t need to. All they really do is organise everything. Any requests go through Prowlarr/Jackett which do the API calls then push that to qBit. One could argue you should put Prowlarr behind a VPN as well but it depends on the trackers you have in there.
All prices seem to be going up around the board. I just got an email saying my Turkish Family Plan (via VPN) is increasing from TRY ₺59.99 to TRY ₺115.99. That’s $3.29 to $6.36.
Back in 2019 some releases installed directly from IGG-GAMES contained crypto miners. They also added their own DRM to releases. Since then I have stayed away and never looked back.
