To be clear, this is just a joke, and I don’t look down on direct downloading. It absolutely has its place, and sometimes I do it myself if it’s just faster to download a file directly. Torrenting is just so much more convenient, though, especially when using Jackett’s manual search.

Today I learned that some torrent clients provide a built-in torrent search engine.

See, I was hoping this meme would inform at least one person that Qbittorrent comes with an in-built search engine. That’s how I found out about it in the first place, through a meme lol

Today I learned that people actually use this. I always thought it didn’t work right.

Limewire was like that. It was heavily abused and unsafe to find shit with but it was like living in the future.

Maybe because I didn’t know what I was doing back then but that was the only way I used Limewire

Yeah it was both a torrent manager and search engine. What we didn’t know was what came from where.
