Speak for urselves lul (I dk how to seed tho)
Hey now, I’m younger than that and I know how to do both things lol
But do you know about slsk?
Heard of it but didn’t use it. Tbf I wasn’t really interested in pirating music as much as other media
To each their own, but for anyone else reading, try Nicotine+ on desktop, or Seeker on Android (it’s on the izzydroid repo)
Nicotine+ is dope
I personally just check the db0 megathread and torrent from there, sometimes I watch online because I cant be bothered to download tho
Wait, is torrenting actually dying out?
i kid you not my roommate watched a movie someone posted on Twitter
Not sure of statistics. But imo judging by the picture of media as of today, torrenting is either growing or changing into usenet.
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
Wtf is torrent
They mean the magnet I think
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.

Nice meme 👍
Where do i find games outside of steamrip.com and gog-games.to
People just have some random site they found on tiktok
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 workWhats 1337? Never heard of it.
I mainly torrent movies and a bit of tv. For me private trackers have by far the biggest library of high quality 4k encodes, which is what i’m after personally. And at decent speeds, public trackers often don’t have enough seeders for higher quality encodes. There is also the community ascpect which is pretty nice, and lower risk of malware or copyright trolls although I still use a vpn anyway.
Also private trackers for movies are super easy to join. I woulf recommend FNP since I dont think you need any prior experience with private trackers, you just need to send them an email. Also they have global freeleech until chistmas!
I have torrented off and on for about 18 years and only recently got invited to a private tracker, it seems like the biggest thing is that your ISP (and sites like I know what you downloaded) won’t see them because the groups that watch torrents don’t have access.
Let them be the fodder for the authorities
It’s the other way around, torrents are monitored, downloads on webpages are not (unless they use P2P streaming)
The big difference is that with torrents you also upload data to other peers, which is what fucks you copyright-wise.
Also remember kids, if you’re not in the US throw those DMCA claims in the trash
If you’re in the EU, downloading without uploading is also illegal, just hard to track for the copyright firms.
Maybe for public trackers, I’ve never had an issue on private trackers. But pirate streaming sites are taken down fairly frequently
the magic word here is “HTTPS”. Prior to encrypted downloads being the norm, it was trivial for your ISP (and presumably, the feds) to see what sites you were visiting and what you downloaded from them. With HTTPS, at best it’s possible to know what site you’re communicating with and how much data you’ve sent to and received from them, but not what the data actually is. (Unless of course the site’s logs get seized, which could contain records of which files were requested by which IP addresses)
