I've had a lot less of a desire to pirate games after moving to Linux full time a few years ago. But FitGirl has been the one reliable place for public torrents, compaed to chancing it on the third Google Link or scrolling through the Russian CS-Rin-Rulette forum to find links.

Why would you ever use google to find torrents?

[–] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It was 5-10 years ago, not too hard to find and a little before Google intentionally made things harder to find. I've used many public and private trackers, but it's just that these days my interest in movies has disappeared almost completely, and I'm happy with most of the games I have.

If you ever get back into it, look into jackett. Consolidates a large number of trackers (some some setup) which makes life so much easier.

I prefer Prowlarr personally but yes Jackett is great.

I've never had a single problem with cs-rin and I'd be surprised if the average person ever would.
