Yeah not me, I keep on saying I use torrents and privatw trackers for the better quality. But really i just find it more fun.

[-] QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 hours ago

i know I posted the meme and all, but what's the benefit of private trackers? is it like a search bar where you'll find niecher stuff or is it just that it downloads quicker?
i don't think I've ever had a time where 1337 and standard qbittorrent won't work

[-] destiper@lemmy.ml 4 points 9 hours ago

2001 baby here with a home ubuntu server running Plex + Jellyfin, *arr suite, qbittorrent and slskd in docker, and a few TB on my favourite private trackers. I’m an outlier for sure, I don’t know anyone else my age that even knows what 1337x is

I am so old I remember most of the pirate stuff and did all of it. I am pissed at myself for disconnecting drives and messing up boot order, won’t boot so far. I had an old pc (still do) they were IDE drives in it. The boot drive was over one 1tb and needed special driver to break the 1tb barrier. I think it was from Acronis’ partition editor. I have at least 300gb in flac music, tons of movies (mostly yify). One day I hope to revive it if I can find an anything partition reader so I can nab it of the drives. I will make it available for everyone to grab an old slice of pirating.

actually as a millenial i left the torrenting world when i graduated and got a job back in 2015. Now when i want to return, I realized I am old and don't know the best places to get good torrents. I searched on one of the websites of tpb last year and nothing came up.

I am rusty and don't have much time but i am starting to feel the bullshit by streaming companies now and i need to get back on the horse.

[-] applebusch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 9 hours ago

The best site right now (in my lazy opinion) is

http://1337x.to/

qbittorrent is the best client these days. uTorrent went and did some bad stuff that I can't remember off the top of my head.

You should really get a VPN to keep your isp from bothering you about it. I use Private Internet Access (PIA) because it's relatively cheap, has port forwarding, and doesn't store any user data.

That's the basics. Happy sailing matey. Remember to seed to a ratio of at least 2!

There are quite a few apps on Linux that will let you dl music from streaming sites and keep it if you have a subscription. My personal favourite is qobuz-dl. I have pretty much all of my favourite movies still from way-back-when but usually don't downloading new ones as 1) streamio with torrentio is so effective and 2) they don't make 'em like they used to.

[-] Zetta@mander.xyz 1 points 8 hours ago* (last edited 8 hours ago)

iptorrents, it's a bit of a scummy private tracker but you can donate a few bucks to get in and they have pretty much everything. It's a good first in for private trackers. Keep in mind with private trackers, you typically need to seed whatever you download for at least 14 days.

[-] Saapas@piefed.zip 24 points 17 hours ago

It does feel like zoomies and kids in general have lost a lot of technical knowledge when it comes to computers.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 16 points 18 hours ago

I hear if you torrent you get a nastygram from your ISP. Meanwhile, I hear if you find a site that offers to stream it for free, nothing bad happens. Also I hear that Yandex gives better results for such sites than Google or DDG/Bing.

[-] ramjambamalam@lemmy.ca 3 points 11 hours ago

If you're in Canada those nastygrams are merely scare tactics, generally.

[-] Uri@infosec.pub 3 points 9 hours ago

And i live in a country that doesnt give a shit about piracy ,:)

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 10 hours ago

If only I were in Canada 😭 so free it hurts here in the US

[-] cepelinas@sopuli.xyz 8 points 14 hours ago

I hear rumors being eastern european negates the nastygram, but that's just a rumour.

[-] ApertureUA@lemmy.today 2 points 8 hours ago

Ukrainian here, pretty eastern European. ISP doesn't make enough money to care.

[-] cepelinas@sopuli.xyz 1 points 8 hours ago

Lithuanian ISPs also really don't care the worst that happened is the government shutdown a film site but it is back online.

[-] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 16 points 17 hours ago

I hear VPNs exist. Though that could be a rumour.

[-] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 hours ago

For now they still do...

[-] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 3 points 17 hours ago

it's slopsay

[-] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 hours ago

Depends what you torrent. Torrenting exposes your IP to all the other peers.

[-] diffaldo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 13 hours ago

Nice meme 👍

[-] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 12 hours ago

People just have some random site they found on tiktok

[-] bobs_monkey@lemmy.zip 92 points 1 day ago

They'll never know the magic (read: virus minefield) that was WinMX, Kazaa, Limewire, etc.
