Personally I use public trackers the most and only recently private trackers for stuff in my native language.
I did setup i2p a few days ago and currently have only downloaded around ~1GB. Most of my bandwith (143 GB in / 135.5 GB out) has come from just having it in the background 24/7.
The advantages of usenet don’t really apply to me (longer retention, faster speeds, no vpn)
Streaming i find useful for checking if something is worth downloading
Nice try MPAA. 😆
Lol can’t vote over VPN
Made the poll with a VPN, didn’t know this was an issue.
Should work now
I could.
4PB jellyfin server (NOT mine lol)
Private Trackers
You wanna rival Netflix or something?!
It is not mine but it rivals all streaming services combined 40 fold in available content
Its amazing once you start to realize how little you can watch even when you are subbed to all streaming services. In the years I used Netflix and co my consumption changed to ‘I watch whats available’. Once I pirated again and joined a similar Plex server with a catalogue which contains pretty much every movie and tv show ever made, even international ones, it changed to ‘What weird shit I really want to watch today’.
Even if would sub to every streaming service available to me (which would probably cost 100€ per month) I could only see 20% of the movies I have watched.
A true archivist. I applaud you
I wish I had 4PB. It is not my server
I love crimes. But I need to hear about your crimes to rev me up! Go!
I once shoplifted a spandex shirt that accentuated my hot body that I used to get into all the hot clubs for a month without washing it in the 1990s.
This is a crime on so many levels 🚨
So bad I admit. Put me in jail in my hot spandex, accentuating my young, slim, body and do me like all those other guys did me.
The one with the parrots
I mostly stick to traditional open ocean piracy, though I do occasionally slip into the odd bay, lagoon, or estuary.
I just use public trackers and streaming, don’t even know what half of these are, lol
Yeah I’m basically back to 2012 with public torrents and ripping from streaming websites I don’t trust very well. And downloading to an external hard drive that very well might die on me and ruin my day eventually.
But now I have a jellyfin server to watch it on, so I got that going for me, which is nice.
Private trackers and Usenet, great combo.
How the hell are there more Private Tracker users than DDL users
usenet IS direct downloads. Unless DDL you mean like mega, mediafire, dropbox, gdrive, pxieldrain, rapidgator, debrid etc etc.
Maritime for the most part.
I use IPFS & I2p but not for piracy.
That guy in the alley
Mostly just streaming, maybe some direct downloads i like paywalled / premium OC. I couldn’t really afford either anyway so I can’t say I feel too bad about it. If VoD providers wouldn’t have turned out to be so garbage I might’ve gotten one of them, but not if that means I can’t watch everything anyway. Like what’s the point? I’m not gonna subscribe to everyone or hop around services. Exclusive content kinda killed them in my eyes.
One barely private tracker, then usenet, and real-debrid
