A few months ago I grabbed this torrent from rarbg, and it took weeks to download. Often going days with no seeders.

I finally got it, and decided I’d seed beyond my usual 2x to help others get this. Then rarbg went under, and now I think I’ll just keep this one going.

Now if only torrenting wouldn’t mean an automatic 500€ invoice from a very specific law firm in my country :(

They base off Mullvad which removed the ability to forward ports, not the 1st choice for P2P, but anything else

Real debrid. Torrent to the cloud. Everything becomes available to other users.

Does Realdebrid do that or do you need a separate cloud service?

It does it all. Debrid is the cloud, and a whole bunch of others things. You just copy and paste a magnet link into the page. And it gets the file for you. And if someone else has used that torrent, it’s already on the debrid server so there’s no wait. 95% of the time it’s already there. Then you’re just downloading a file like you would any other file from a webpage, off the debrid server. Usually at the full speed of your isp. No p2p. I can stream 100 gb movies off their servers. Or download them quickly.

sounds like pure intimidation to me.

1/ one could have “never received this letter”

2/ one could decide not to pay, and then what? will they go to court? based on what evidence?

3/ if it ever goes to court, “i don’t know, i wasnt even home that day” should always work no?

i don’t understand while in some countries (actually only one that i know of, Germany) people seem to be terrified by this lawyer’s spam…

Oh no it isn’t. Walldorf Frommer is well known to send “Unterlassungerklärungen” which you have to answer. It will go to court if you do not work against this. You normally need your own lawyer to defuse what they send you.

Also, if you are in court, there is the concept of “Störerhaftung” which is a wet dream for everyone suing you for copyright infringement. They will have your IP and the time, thus your address. Now you either have to name someone who did do it, or if you can’t you will automatically be liable.

This isn’t any intimidation, it is one company using the laws in place here to fuck you majorly over. There are a lot of stories about this and if you seed on any public tracker you WILL get a letter.

How effective are VPNs at preventing this? I’ve heard it recommended the most as a counter measure.

It’s just the seeding that is illegal, not the downloading part. You can pirate, you just can’t share (legally).

If you want a year subscription to Speedify, let me know. I got a year in a Humble Bundle that I never used because I have a lifetime subscription to Windscribe. Speaking of which, Windscribe allows 10GB of free transfers each month. Not much but it will get you a few movies or audio books.

God, back in uni with free electricity and internet in the dorms, we managed to seed over a terabyte of data before IT got suspicious and turned off that port. Then we seeded over slower wifi until they turned the port back on next semester, haha. Good times.

That was where we learned that the pirated copies of stuff were easier to find, higher quality, and worked on hardware that websites declared “too old” to stream their content. It all started when we had a bunch of people over to watch a movie, and Amazon refused to play it on older hardware. It instantly converted half a dozen people to piracy, lol.

Like Gabe Newell once said, piracy is a service problem.

The last two things I pirated were No One Lives Forever, a game that’s completely delisted on all storefronts, and Ratchet & Clank, because Sony can’t figure out how to add the PS2 versions of games to the PS5 and I refuse to stream it (data cap) or lug around my PS3.

Both I would’ve purchased legally had they not made it a pain in the ass.

When rarbg went down I immediately went and for any torrent I still had loaded in my client I quadrupled my normal ratio (3.5 -> 12.00). Then I also just increased my ratio generally.

I wish I had more disk space to keep things going even longer, but I really gotta cycle stuff out unfortunately.

When rarbg went down I waited a couple weeks for straghlers then stopped seeding all rarbg torrents. Is there a reason to? How will people even find these torrents?

There are archives of all the rarbg magnet links. I still use them to successfully find stuff. As long as those links are out there it is still possible to help people out.

There is a specific magnet link you can get a specific sql file from. Inside is a cool database containing a big amount of records of torrent magnets which you can input into the tracker and download.

Yeah, a lot of similar functionality which is what I was mainly looking for. Especially the IMDB search. Not as much curation, but enough tags and details on most things so you can at least sift past the junk.
