Hey all, I know a lot of people are migrating to private torrent sites, and OK, that's a choice. However there are still a lot of people on the public torrents who are just leeching and not seeding.

I have several popular (old/classic) movies in my feed that I have uploaded (literally) 1000x the original and many more in the several hundred times. That's fine, I choose to support the community, but it's pretty depressing when I look at the seeders count and those movies have 2 or 3 other seeders.

This only works if you share. Please don't cut off as soon as you've downloaded.

And on a personal note, if anyone has audio or video files for "Machine Gun Fellatio" also listed as MGF could you please start seeding in particular

"MGF Pack 1"

"MGF+Pack+2"

"MGF+Pack+3"

If I can get the download completed I'll keep them up permanently, but unfortunately as they are obscure/rare I'm getting nowhere.

Rules don't permit me showing the torrent link of course. DM if that would help

Sorry but I use a Debrid service now. No need to seed when you get direct downloads to just about any torrent you want.

I use a Debrid service and still go out of my way to get the torrent and seed 3-4x. The only reason I don't use the torrents directly is that Stremio is just quick and easy on the TV for now. Once I get a pi setup on my TV, I'll be torrenting and watching via that while I seed.

Debrid is easy and convenient. That's it. However, I'm not a fan of Debrid, nor am I a fan of private tracker sites. Making something a paid service or a closed group invite only is, by definition, the complete opposite of what piracy is supposed to stand for. Leave that shit to capitalism, imo.

Basically, private and paid anything is for the birds, man. I'm still out here torrenting on public like a real buccaneer. Do I pay for a VPN? Yes. Its a necessity, especially if I want to open a port and make sure every peer can get to me. Other than that, I don't want to pay for shit. The only payment I condone is seeding.
