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.
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
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.
The best site right now (in my lazy opinion) is
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!
thanks.. I guess santa can put me on the naughty list early this christmas cause I got the presents already!

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.
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.

used to use steam unlocked
torrent
is bisexual
the meme is partly correct i guess :3
TIL those born in 2005 are 20 now.
Well, not "learned," but you know what I mean. I feel old :(
It does feel like zoomies and kids in general have lost a lot of technical knowledge when it comes to computers.
We're doomed to help our parents AND our kids.
cries in millennial
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.
If you're in Canada those nastygrams are merely scare tactics, generally.
And i live in a country that doesnt give a shit about piracy ,:)
If only I were in Canada 😭 so free it hurts here in the US
I hear rumors being eastern european negates the nastygram, but that's just a rumour.
Ukrainian here, pretty eastern European. ISP doesn't make enough money to care.
Lithuanian ISPs also really don't care the worst that happened is the government shutdown a film site but it is back online.
I hear VPNs exist. Though that could be a rumour.
For now they still do...
it's slopsay
Depends what you torrent. Torrenting exposes your IP to all the other peers.
Nice meme 👍
People just have some random site they found on tiktok
They'll never know the magic (read: virus minefield) that was WinMX, Kazaa, Limewire, etc.
I’ve watched so much free anime by being bisexual
Where do i find games outside of steamrip.com and gog-games.to
inside qbittorrent's builtin search
