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.

It does feel like zoomies and kids in general have lost a lot of technical knowledge when it comes to computers.

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.

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 37 minutes ago

Depends what you torrent. Torrenting exposes your IP to all the other peers.

[–] cepelinas@sopuli.xyz 6 points 3 hours ago

I hear rumors being eastern european negates the nastygram, but that's just a rumour.

I hear VPNs exist. Though that could be a rumour.

They'll never know the magic (read: virus minefield) that was WinMX, Kazaa, Limewire, etc.

Or the even worse era of trolling IRC chats looking for DCC bots and hoping your feeble attempts at security or obfuscation will hold. Ah, the good ol days.

[–] Kanda@reddthat.com 2 points 2 hours ago

Just do it now. Only like 8 other people are using DCC, so it's obfuscation in itself

Grab list, found what you wanted... As 49 separate downloads, on one busy bot.

While on dialup.

[–] zod000@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 39 minutes ago

Admittedly, the small file chunks made sense on dialup, but man did it suck when you'd end up with 102 of 110 files and then they'd vanish.

my favorite was the Madonna song that was just Madonna saying "What the fuck do you think you're doing?" over and over again for three minutes, and then someone made a dance remix of it and uploaded it again

It's wrong, but also, it's right a surprisingly good amount of the time.

I don't know if this meme is fully ironic, but kind of strange to think "torrenting" is considered the OG piracy method now.
