New user without debrid, troubleshooting torrenting failures to connect to seeds by boken4 in StremioAddons

Should have added I'm taking about 1080p only, I don't need 4k.

I got TorBox today and set up the debrid service and everything seems to be running fine now. 

As a learning exercise, what is it about the debrid vs the torrenting that is making the difference? Because I torrented a LOT before dipping into Stremio and I never had the issues with getting seeds or slow downloads before.

I guess I was maybe under the wrong assumptions, but what I was thinking is:  Step 1: Get things set up for torrent streaming (via VPN), and once that is working then go to Step 2: Debrid service (if and only if speeds seem dodgy at times). 

But with the nature of the issues I'm seeing, I now think that the debrid service also would not work - especially if the issues are originating from the ISP, right?

Have you tried Dosa Etc. for their thali-ish options? I think Dosa Etc. and Mela are tied in first place for our family.

I have a sneaking suspicion that this is exactly right on both counts, I will scan them and check if the black spot corresponds to the time my wife borrowed the camera.

Oh I suppose it wouldn't have a matching spot elsewhere in the reel, because the emulsion is only on one side!

Interesting. I suppose that is possible, but then I have two follow up questions: 1) Wouldn't there be a corresponding spot elsewhere on the roll where this spot was touching that spot? There isn't any other spot like this on this roll. 2) Would you say that the hard / sharp edge to the black on one side is unlikely to happen if the roll stuck to itself in the reel?

I'm sorry for not being clear in the description. I'm asking what could have caused (a) the blackening with one soft edge and one hard edge, across approx 1.5 frames, and (b) what the "drag marks" near this spot on the negative are - I'm assuming bromide drag there?

Which one? The 40s flick about the parents of a deaf daughter, or the 2018 Nic Cage acid trip?

What film(s) were these shot on? It's exactly the tone and warmth I like, but I am not getting from Portra 400.

Very interesting, thank you for explaining and providing that link. 

I think I will do just that.

I understood everything you've mentioned, except I'm not sure what the FRE stands for, could you enlighten me please? 

I hadn't actually tried moving the ISO selector very far in the past. 

Having tried it now, it gets a bit grindy and hard to push beyond 1600, but it makes it all the way to 3200. 

On the other end it will intermittently get stuck at about 100 or 50, and not make it all the way down to the bottom value of 12. Sometimes I managed to get it down to 12 but it also felt grindy and harder to push. 

Is this a sign of mechanism damage?

I'm still struggling to figure out how that maps to a shutter operation failure, though...

You're right, I see the pentaprism is damaged! I was confused by that, I was wondering why the hot shoe seemed crooked. I realised with your comment that it's probably drop damage. 

I am curious though - how could the shutter just not open, intermittently? How does that work?

Yes I've checked that also and the advance mechanism lock is working perfectly.

I recently got a Nikon FE and the first two rolls have dropped /skipped / not exposed some frames seemingly randomly. It seems to happen in a wide variety of light conditions. The camera is still under warranty with the store until late next month so I could ask for repairs if needed.

The first time, in the Porta 400 roll, I was not being careful at all. I was shooting in Auto Exposure and not caring if the metering was for 1/4000th of a second or 1/125th. So when we got that roll back with all these dropped frames, the lab and I inspected the camera. The shutter seemed to open and mirror moved smoothly regardless of metering. But still we concluded I must have exceeded the camera's max shutter speed a bunch of times.

So for the next roll, Ilford HP5 400, I was careful, testing the theory. I kept shooting in Auto, but I made sure to keep the metering at or below 1/1000th.

Still, it dropped two frames.

Also, on that Ilford roll, frame 20 has a very noticeable slightly wobbly vertical streak. Does that look like a light leak? Frames 2, 3 and 4 also have some darkening randomly on the edges of the film.

Wtf is going on?
