I'm sure as hell downloading it!

I've had colleagues just play the "I don't fucking care if you're sending me back because my papers have a spelling mistake, this is just a business trip" method when US customs/immigration starts acting up. Not sure I'd have the balls to do that now that the US is sending people to KZ camp light for pretty much nothing.

Only seeding new stuff that everyone else is also seeding is not good for torrenting in general, it will kill a lot of content that's more than a few years old and/or not completely mainstream.

Aren't they located in Italy, the Shithole that keeps trying to outlaw all VPNs and/or force them to provide backdoors and identifiable customers? They can only be stopped so many times before they succeed...

Definitely go for prowlarr. you select the indexers you want to search through when you set it up the first time and then you just search for whatever you're looking for in the searchbar and prowlarr will look through all the indexers you've selected and give you the result.

OTOH I've always found on boarding to be infuriatingly slow and long winded...Yeah i get how to use these systems, I understand the basics of your work flow now let me fucking do some actual work!

It's a company that is bankrupt, so hopefully they achieve that their customers can continue using the product after they've shut down the company completely.

They should've thought of that before they stopped having children. /s

Pff, as if you need to be baked to do that...

They missed a great opportunity by not calling it Draudio/Drawdio...

IDK about movies/TV shows being in decline here, it seems to be in better shape now than when I first left the sea 15 years ago. New stuff, especially movies, hits the trackers way faster than they did "back then" and are easily available from public trackers. I can still find all the older things I want, granted some it only on the private trackers I'm using, but it's being kept alive. Old or niche media has always been the hardest to find with torrents, but it really feels easier now than it did when I first started out 25 years ago.

As for books, I rent most of them from my local library as e-books, strip the DRM so I can read on me reader, and immediately return so someone else can rent them. I haven't really needed to pirate a book in years by doing it this way.

Printing and binding is expensive, not to mention a waste of paper, you can't really expect them to front that cost IMO. He should have just given you the PDF instead printing it.
