There’s just much less curiosity and “awareness of what you’re not aware of” these days

It’s not just a computer problem at all it’s everything

Untrue, I was born in 2003 and torrenting go brrrrrrrrrrrr

PsychedSy ,

I’ve been a member of a private torrent forum since you were 2 or so lol

Scrollone ,

Torrent forum? That’s interesting. I’ve only used private torrent trackers like TL. Any recommendations?

PsychedSy ,

Not really. There are some adjacent ones I can check for invites if you pm me later to remind me.

But it’s fantastic to have a core of users that talk about releases and sometimes call each other slurs.

Draedron ,

I know how to torrent but choose to use one click hosters instead since they are safer to use here and I dont want to pay for a vpn. People who get fines here are people who torrent because they want to bust seeders since they are redistributing

MaggiWuerze ,

Yeah, living in Germany a OCH is just the way to go. Also it’s impossible to find decent content with German audio without having spent years seeding English stuff to get into a private tracker

needing a paid vpn to torrent without getting spooky ISP notices is a pretty big barrier for me tbh :|

spaceaape ,

Get into a Private tracker. Or You could rent a vps in a country that doesn’t care, torrent to that server and stream or sync it locally. You would never be torrenting on your local connection.

state_electrician ,

I don’t understand how private trackers are supposed to be secure. They cannot guarantee that they keep out all bad actors and that means they’re basically the same as public trackers, just more exclusive and with a slightly lower risk because of the barrier of entry. I used MyAnonamouse in the past and back then they weren’t big fans of VPNs. But I will never use any tracker without a VPN.

spaceaape ,

Never had any issues with the private tracker I’m in or got any letter from my ISP. I definitely don’t pay for a vpn. I could always use my rented vps(seedbox) as a vpn if i absolutely needed or wanted to.

isolatedscotch ,

My guess would be that companies will probably go after the 99.9% of people that torrent on public trackers, while ignoring private ones since it’s not worth it to go to all that trouble just to track the last 0.1%

windlas ,

Use a p2p block list in your torrent client. Once I started using that the emails stopped.

I use: github.com/Naunter/BT_BlockLists/

But there are probably others

ElderWendigo ,

A decade ago we figured out blacklists were ineffective. What’s changed?

windlas ,

Better blocklists? They’re working fine for me.

ElderWendigo ,

Blocklists are ineffective by design. Each and every member of the swarm can collect all the data necessary to flag you to your ISP. Obviously any professional collecting this kind of data can avoid a blocklist. There is no such thing as a better blocklist.

I only learned to torrent because my dad used to when I was a kid. But these days I use XDCC instead because it’s just so much more convenient. Though to be fair most of my friends who are also GenZ probably don’t know how to do that either.

areyouevenreal ,

I struggled majorly with XDCC weirdly enough.

interdimensionalmeme ,

What’s the 411 on steamunlocked ? Just malware ? Can we just get the cracks like in the old days ?

sag ,

I do torrent but only legal stuff: Like every Linux Distro ISO or Some other legal document and stuff. If I have to torrent some ~mhm content I use remote torrenting using Telegram.

astreus ,

How true is this or are we doing the same thing “generation killed industry/way of doing things” that the boomer media is so fond of?

HumanPerson ,

Not very true. Plenty of gen z still torrent. This seems more like a shitpost.

finley ,

that took an interesting turn towards the end…

Usenet.

For me it’s usually easier to “watch free online” rather than searching and downloading torrent, like, I have client installed just in case, but I barely use it. Last time I used it actually was official 9front iso, not pirating.

pearsaltchocolatebar ,

Look into the servarr suite. I just add what I want and it finds and downloads it for me.

Cethin ,

QBitTorrent has a search built in. You have to add scripts for each torrent host, but once you add a bunch it makes it very easy to just search through that and find what you want. Finding a free stream you have to go through a bunch of shady sites trying to find one that works and is half decent quality.

solsangraal ,

+1 for qbittorrent. i’m very arrr unsavvy but been using qbit for years and almost always find what i want using its built-in search

areyouevenreal ,

Weirdly enough I have never used that feature. Only found out about it after I started using Usenet and the *arr stack. Now if I want to search for something manually I use Prowlarr that allows me to search both Usenet and Bittorrent at the same time.

The rest of the time Radarr or Sonarr finds it for me.
