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.
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.
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
People just have some random site they found on tiktok
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.
TBH I was in the same boat, and finally went usenet when they rised the prices for all that streaming shit across the board, once again. Took me one afternoon to figure out.
I’d like to torrent, it’s morally more piratey, as in “if I pirate already, then it should be totally free”, but the usenet experience just is so much cleaner. And now I still pay, but like 30ish € per year and have no headache anymore and basically all the streaming services at my fingertips.
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.
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!

Well, not “learned,” but you know what I mean. I feel old :(

I feel you, my Steam account turned 20 this month!
It does feel like zoomies and kids in general have lost a lot of technical knowledge when it comes to computers.
There was a short while when everyone had computers at home, and we became skilled with them because we grew up with them. But those computers were pretty quickly replaced with tablets and phones, leaving the majority of younger generations with much less computer experience.
Because of the locked-down nature and simplified UI design of mobile platforms, they weren’t able to learn skills like navigating file systems or the many tools in document and art programs they would have found on PC.
Rather than being an edutainment tool, mobile devices have offered cheap dopamine hits and predatory monetization. The fact that we know this and do nothing to correct it is incredibly sad.
most yes, some no. Some are fucking geniuses
also, my blame is 1000% on the schools. They lock down computers so much the button to make a FOLDER was disabled… in highschool
Funny, I remember being in middle school and getting detention for playing a RS private server called hackscape, clearly I was intending to hack the school.
Meanwhile I found the network drive and constantly deleted a bullys progress in our keyboarding course lmao, they never figured that one out.
We’re doomed to help our parents AND our kids.

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
Depends what you torrent. Torrenting exposes your IP to all the other peers.
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
I do :( unfortunately none of my peers are even close so I just tell them fmhy
It’s wrong, but also, it’s right a surprisingly good amount of the time.
I’ve watched so much free anime by being bisexual
Wtf is torrent
deleted by creator
its just advertising places “to rent”, like craigslist, but for films. Sometimes the rent is free
I think its means like a whole bunch of water all at once depending on context
The three answers say literally completely different things. Wtf? Lmao
