  • But there was a level entry form. So he entered it, but then disqualified it? Or someone else entered it on his behalf?

    Ahoyo hosted, and lots of creators were invited to submit. When Ahoyo discovered TASing tools for WiiU, TTH was his way of showing it off. With a tendon issue, they couldn’t make and play a hard kaizo level anymore. So, yes, Ahoyo entered TTH themselves, then made sure it was disqualified. The point was for people to see the playthrough and accuse it of being a TAS, which would be the reveal, as per Ahoyo’s message. The viewing of the levels with the judges was live streamed, so the audience was supposed to see the levels and call it out, too.

    Then no one noticed, and the TAS tools seemed to have died out. <strikethrough is broken for me for some reason, just assume some nonsense here>

    Edit: My bad, I heard talk of TASBot trying to get their jank tools to work for WiiU, I didn’t realize this but someone has already cleared TTH with TAS. Just those streamers going for last 7 days of RTA clear attempts.



  • Ahoyo “confessed” as soon as people contacted them and asked. They were also a very well known member of the community, it’s not like 0% was discovering TTH, especially after we all saw bombs5.

    Besides, since when do we not allow TASes in the Mario community? It is “faked” at a stretch of the word “faked”. There are plenty of faked SMM levels where the creator cheated the cleared for upload flag. TTH is completable.

    Am I understanding that he entered it into a competition, too?

    I feel like you aren’t even half assing reading that paragraph and trying to take it in the most negative light.

    Ahoyo hosted a contest where people showed off levels, and TTH was disqualified by themselves.



  • I used Nord proxies when I still used uTorrent, never had issues. I’m definitely hardwired, and my isp is shit, don’t get me wrong, but the only change I can see is qBit and proxies. I tried every server they had available, and the issue just stops when I don’t use their proxies. Maybe I should try proxies from some other service, but I’m not really in a place to shop around… and I don’t know that free vpn services have proxies that you can try.

    I also say “stops every few minutes”, I should clarify, it stops and doesn’t resume. I have to close qbit and reopen.

    I don’t know enough about ovpn or wireguard to know how that would help me… Is that not a VPN/tunneling that you have to have both sides to use? So I would go to a server that has another VPN running on anyways?





  • Do you use a proxy server through the settings, or just turn on your VPN and run it while torrenting?

    I use Nord, and with the former method I was having issues. I reported it in an issue on the GitHub, and even contacted Nord for support. Now, there does seem to be a lot of down time with the regular method, but with the proxy (“better” method normally) there was times where it was exactly as you described- tons of seeds or leeches, but no connections, uploads, or downloads across the board.

    In the execution log, there was an error that’d pop up repeatedly. I can’t remember or see at the moment what that error is, something about SOCKS5, the proxy connection. But after popping 5-10 times, that’s when everything would hit zeroes. I would have to close and reopen qBittorrent to get it to start again. When I used uTorrent before, I never had these issues, so I was thinking about moving on to some other torrent application. Wanting to stay with Open Source programs kept me for now.








  • I’m surprised, it does seem that this is true. I read a lot of articles where he announced that people could apply for medication, or medicaid would pay $0.01 per pill. I couldn’t find anything about where to apply or one people who have applied and been able to get this medication, but there is already a generic alternative, so this program might be dead in the water.

    As for smear campaign, I’m not so sure. Everytime I read quotes from him, it seems he just really likes to play the “bad boy”. Maybe he just wants people to think pharmaceutical companies are scumbags, so when he ran one he purposefully made himself look bad. Shkreli definitely didn’t seem to care that people got a bad impression of him.
