If these are e-books you’re looking for, you may want to try soulseek. It’s promoted a lot on here for music downloads, but I’ve gotten almost all my e-books from there, too.
As far as why the downloads are failing - does the site/mirrors your downloading from have subscriptions for higher speed downloads? My bet would be that if you’re downloading without a subscription then your traffic is getting deprioritized server-side. Kind of a shitty way for them to operate, if so, but nothing you can really do about it. Most sites I’ve downloaded from like that just make you watch an ad or force you to wait some amount of seconds before the download starts.
Just my hypothesis, though. Can’t know for sure if that’s happening without knowing what site it is.
I use Bazarr in my *arr stack for subtitles. If the file I download doesn’t come with its own embedded subtitles, Bazarr will pull them based on the preferences I’ve set.
My personal conspiracy theory is that all the price hikes in PC components like RAM and GPUs are really just an effort to take computing power out of the hands of the people. The future we’re being steered towards is rental PCs and/or thin-client-like PCs with subscriptions to stuff like GeForce Now.
Right, because my random comment on the internet was going to make such a difference for them to begin with…? Not like I have anything to prove to some stranger on the internet, anyway. I hope you have a better day.
The trans people in my life who actually know me are very aware of my support for them. Not every comment you see on the internet has to be as serious as a heart attack. Some of us have a healthy blood pressure level.
including encrypted chats and email, web hosting, secure video conferencing and streaming, anonymity shields, and a suite of other technological tools…
I host stuff like this on my NAS. Am I a terrorist?!
How does one hiss in a deep male voice?

Looking like Phyllis from The Office.
If only we had mobile deposit back then.
You look fabulous!
My legs are old and bent, my ears are grizzled, yes?

Just my luck that I’m living in the dumbest timeline.

I’d camp there.

Bit of an aggressive response to an off handed comment.
The Fall of Númenor, the classic hardback and paper version.
Good. Gives me an excuse to start breaking shit.
The most likely scenario. Certainly wouldn’t surprise me.
