It’s good enough for recent releases (note you may have to open a port for passive XDCC) but because it’s not easy to automate, even public trackers + *arrs (w/ VPN) are just more convenient.
Occasionally you might find releases on IRC and not on public trackers, and visa versa, so it’s good to have a backup. I prefer scene releases so it’s easy to find specific stuff with the xdcc search sites (e.g. dot eu and sun), and maybe a 'lil help from srrdb to verify CRCs.
IRC is fine to get your movie and TV needs met. There are a couple servers doing it well. Speeds are decent enough, a few minutes per 8-9 gig files. Retention sucks, as pretty rapid turn-over is basically required; these are files hosted on dedis/vps’s with finite disk space.
You should be able to find most stuff released with-in the last year without too much effort.
Also, some servers offer request credits in exchange for downloads, so you can ask for more niche or rare content. Happy hunting!
I mean movies and tv shows. I know it is alive but can you find stuff that you can only find on private trackers for example and how is the speed on average?
Yeah I might be a bit paranoid, on reddit usenet it is very common to refer to pirated content as linux distros. I edited it again, but with movies and tv shows. I guess I picked it as a habit with how frequently I use the reddit Usenet subreddit.
I do use usenet but dcma takedowns are very quick these days that new movies get removed very quickly, is IRC better in this aspect, also I don’t have private tracker and public trackers are noticeably worse than usenet in terms of release groups.
I’ve never had an issue with finding movies or shows on Usenet, to the point that I’ve stopped looking elsewhere for them to save time when running a search. It’s likely just you have a shitty provider.
It was a new movies that came out 5 days before I started to download it, in the end I had to go to torrrent galaxy and it only had one or two releases for it, good quality though. It would probably download okay if I put it on Radarr before it was released, so it would pick it up before it got taken down. I NTD block to complement my DMCA ultimate provider lets see how it goes. Funny enough I decided to go check IRC which I haven’t opened for years and found the exact release that got taken down in Usenet.
I used this (https://www.xdcc.eu/), I don’t think they care about IRC as much as Usenet and torrent.
Thanks, I used to pay for netflix, but no one in the household watched it, they wanted stuff that it’s not on netflix or got removed. More streaming services popped up and it wasn’t worth paying for it anymore. Even with three indexers lifetime and drunkenslug and an ultimate provider and two blocks. I feel over the years it is cheaper than netflix, the lifetimes will pay for themselves and the blocks don’t expire. I only pay $2.5 per month for the ultimate. Netflix used to be good when it was the only streaming service and they weren’t cancelling every good show.

Never used srrdb does it just list warez releases, also it is missing a lot of releases.

ISOs of what? Piracy is alive and well on IRC, but this isn’t much of a question.

Well, you just edited your question to be about Linux Distros (a thing you cannot pirate), so I am still not sure what you’re on about.
On Reddit (and probably other places), “Linux distros” or “ISOs” was a roundabout way of referring to porn.
Not just porn anything related to piracy is referred to as Linux distro it is to avoid subreddit being banned.
This isn’t a subreddit. You’re allowed to talk about piracy here.
I understand your paranoia, but it’s impossible to answer a question if you don’t ask one.
Linux distros can’t be pirated. As for TV shows and films, Usenet > Torrent > WWW
Or so I’ve heard.

If you’re seeing loads of takedowns, maybe it’s time to look for a new provider, because from what I’m seeing everything is still healthy AF.

Glad you’re sorted.
