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

[–] QuinnyCoded@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 hours ago* (last edited 5 hours ago)

most yes, some no. Some are fucking geniuses

also, my blame is 1000% on the schools. They lock down computers so much the button to make a FOLDER was disabled... in highschool

[–] TheOakTree@lemmy.zip 1 points 8 hours ago

TIL those born in 2005 are 20 now.

Well, not "learned," but you know what I mean. I feel old :(

[–] MadhuGururajan@programming.dev 6 points 18 hours ago (5 children)

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.

thanks for the deets I have some thing to do for christmas

[–] applebusch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

The best site right now (in my lazy opinion) is

http://1337x.to/

qbittorrent is the best client these days. uTorrent went and did some bad stuff that I can't remember off the top of my head.

You should really get a VPN to keep your isp from bothering you about it. I use Private Internet Access (PIA) because it's relatively cheap, has port forwarding, and doesn't store any user data.

That's the basics. Happy sailing matey. Remember to seed to a ratio of at least 2!

thanks.. I guess santa can put me on the naughty list early this christmas cause I got the presents already!

thanks for the deets I know what i will do for christmas!

There are quite a few apps on Linux that will let you dl music from streaming sites and keep it if you have a subscription. My personal favourite is qobuz-dl. I have pretty much all of my favourite movies still from way-back-when but usually don't downloading new ones as 1) streamio with torrentio is so effective and 2) they don't make 'em like they used to.

[–] Zetta@mander.xyz 1 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

iptorrents, it's a bit of a scummy private tracker but you can donate a few bucks to get in and they have pretty much everything. It's a good first in for private trackers. Keep in mind with private trackers, you typically need to seed whatever you download for at least 14 days.

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 14 points 23 hours ago (4 children)

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.

[–] cepelinas@sopuli.xyz 8 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] ApertureUA@lemmy.today 2 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Ukrainian here, pretty eastern European. ISP doesn't make enough money to care.

[–] cepelinas@sopuli.xyz 1 points 13 hours ago

Lithuanian ISPs also really don't care the worst that happened is the government shutdown a film site but it is back online.

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 16 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 2 points 16 hours ago

For now they still do...

[–] Hadriscus@jlai.lu 3 points 22 hours ago

it's slopsay

[–] ramjambamalam@lemmy.ca 3 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

If you're in Canada those nastygrams are merely scare tactics, generally.

[–] Uri@infosec.pub 3 points 14 hours ago

And i live in a country that doesnt give a shit about piracy ,:)

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 1 points 16 hours ago

If only I were in Canada 😭 so free it hurts here in the US

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 17 hours ago

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

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 1 points 13 hours ago

I am so old I remember most of the pirate stuff and did all of it. I am pissed at myself for disconnecting drives and messing up boot order, won’t boot so far. I had an old pc (still do) they were IDE drives in it. The boot drive was over one 1tb and needed special driver to break the 1tb barrier. I think it was from Acronis’ partition editor. I have at least 300gb in flac music, tons of movies (mostly yify). One day I hope to revive it if I can find an anything partition reader so I can nab it of the drives. I will make it available for everyone to grab an old slice of pirating.

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 19 hours ago

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