uhhh people still be using torrents for movies and shows
nah, no way, absolutely not
Even back in my day only dummy’s got viruses from torrents.
I got a virus only once and it was a boot sector virus on a floppy disk. 💾 👴🏼
That’s because it was floppy and not hard.
What do you mean dbz_episode_001.exe is a virus?? I got it directly from limewire dumbass.
Video and subtitle downloader extensions…? Bruh the arr stack works mostly via torrents (let’s ignore Usenet).
I actually never got a virus from torrenting back in the day. I never could understand why everyone got viruses and why people could never get software packages to work by reading the instructions. People would say “this doesn’t work.” I’d install and it would work the first time I tried. Seemed like all software torrents had the same stupid comments with perfectly good wares.
Back in my day we had usenet communities without viruses and with high speeds and privacy, which still works great. These days we have it fully automated (radarr and sonarr) so every new episode or newly released movie is downloaded in the preferred format, size and language, with subtitles, which is all extracted, renamed and moved to the right folders while kodi keeps track of everything newly added and what is already watched.
I torrented and direct downloaded stuff before but never understood Usenet. Some kind of closed circle where you get invited by offering something or a buy in?
There are free options, but it’s best to pay a monthly subscription from a provider. They have servers where things are posted. A decent provider has a long retention. I have Eweka, their retention is like 900 days or something, maybe even more these days. Then you need a download application, I use sabnzbd. To find posts, there are websites like with torrents or applications. Binsearch.info for example, and spotnet. There are also some closed communities. I pay for 2 indexers, which is 10 euros per year each, which will grab the post I need. The applications sonarr (for series) and radarr (for movies) download everything I add automatically when released, within the parameters I like. So, I don’t want movies which are 90GB so I have limits. Also I don’t like French or German dubbed stuff, so only original languages and with subtitles (if they at missing, I van download them through a kodi plugin from subtitles.org).
I haven’t used it yet either, but I believe it’s buy in nowadays. It was buy in for a while, then ISPs started offering free usenet access to attract customers, now it’s buy in again.
