I guess this settles it for me. What VPN should I go for?
1. Posts must be related to the discussion of digital piracy
2. Don’t request invites, trade, sell, or self-promote
3. Don’t request or link to specific pirated titles, including DMs
4. Don’t submit low-quality posts, be entitled, or harass others

Thanks for the link! I lost this a while ago and I was loathe to find it. It comes around, doesn’t it? 😊
Sites like these are always useless, they never showed jack shit for me. Because I don’t use public trackers I stick with private ones and those stupid Bots don’t have access to private trackers
Any suggestions for good private trackers?
Try to find a place with open registration or someone whose got a spare invite. Ive managed to get into a couple. But to get into the better private trackers it takes time building up your intro private tracker accounts.
There are plenty of good ones out there, but be ready to invest a lot of time getting into them. The accounts I have I have had for over 10 years and it took probably a good 2 to 3 years to actually get into those better places. You have to actually build up a reputation of maintaining good ratio at smaller sites and get invited by a member. It’s a pain in the ass but it’s also worth it, way better content, way better speeds
This legitimately is only showing me Linux ISOs… Huh… Guess I’m good to go then!
Someone else who uses the same VPN as I is really into butt stuff. I have to question their commitment to 480p though.
Could be worse. Someone sharing my IP is into really freaky stuff like “kubuntu-23.10-desktop-amd64.iso”
23.10? Non LTS?? What a disgusting freak!
Really tame vanilla stuff over here, I’m seeing debian-12.1.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso
Kubuntu? Whore.
Butts, sisters, and breeding for the VPN IP I tried out!

Sometimes quantity is more important than quality. Hard drives ain’t free.
But hard-ons are apparently.

@can Following for VPN revommendations.
There’s plenty now.
I use Windscribe. I initially used it because the free version which gives you 10GB per month was enough for me. Then there was a deal on a lifetime subscription ages ago that I got for like $15.
If anyone wants a year subscription to Speedify VPN, DM me and I’ll get you a key I got in a Humble Bundle years ago that I never used.
Just a little disclaimer: windscribe cannot be trusted for any other use than torrenting
Can you elaborate? Or tell me where I can read more, I did not know this
It’s just that it’s a random company. And they have a free tier which is a red flag. Use well-known reputable businesses when your privacy really matters
They are no more or less reputable than more well known providers. Which providers are you comparing it to? Please provide some sort of source for what you are saying.
I’ve heard you’re not supposed to use tor and a vpn, but I’m no expert.
https://support.torproject.org/faq/faq-5/
Where did they mention tor?
I guess they think torrent = tor?
Hmm I had my buddy go to this and he claims his download history has things he never downloaded. He doesn’t use a VPN and no one in his house torrents but him. Also he primarily uses a seedbox. Confusing lol.
Oh he uses T-Mobile home internet so prob shares a public IP with more than a usual ISP
Maybe it’s because of CGNAT, his IP is being shared between multiple networks
Yeah makes sense for 5g home internet
I’m in the same boat, I haven’t torrented the “traditional” way in YEARS ever since I moved over to the superior Usenet
And yet, I’m seeing a small history list here as of a couple days ago hmmm and I’m on Crapcast so CGNET doesn’t apply
Looks like I’ll be doing some investigating today :/ maybe it’s time I got off my ass and got Suricuta running on pfsense
I wonder if Xfinity hotspots could be this? Are you using their modem / router ?
Edit: also glad to hear Usenet is doing well. I switched to it a long time ago and uses for a bit. Though I remember so many items being removed due to dmca. All my downloads were just text files saying removed by dmca over and over again. So I ended up switching back to torrent via seedbox. Now I just use real debrid. Don’t feel like bothering with other setups lately lol.
I am, but I disabled the xfinitywifi right out of the box.
Although it wouldn’t surprise me if it “spontaneously” reactivated itself, but even if it did (and Crapcast can be trusted on what they say on this) it’s supposed to be isolated to the point that it gets its own assigned IP separate from what is assigned to your connection
I really haven’t had DMCA issues on my Usenet providers, but you do gotta be choosy, iirc the biggest ones you probably subbed to won’t ignore DMCA
Yeah I am almost positive they do force itself back on sometimes lol. Though you are right that it shouldn’t share your IP. But like short of someone you don’t know having access to your WiFi it has to be something weird like that lol
Good to know about Usenet. I haven’t used it in a decade and have no idea what provider I was using. I was also younger and dumber so prob didn’t realize I could have just switched providers. Me at the time thought the dmca Usenet was more of a global issue. I now realize that likely wasn’t the case lol
What did your transition to Usenet look like? I just transferred from torrenting to Soulseek myself but it isn’t cutting it
I transitioned to using it primarily for Sonarr and Radarr for TV and Movies. Its mostly a set and forget it if you choose the right providers and indexers.
I don’t sail the Music sea because Spotify has filled all my needs for the price, same for the Gaming sea because of Game Pass.
Software, I usually just look around for freeware/open source alternatives or pay for it if it’s of quality and worth the price.
My fellow Windscribe VPN users are downloading some freaky shit.
Must be the server you are connecting to. Most of mine is not porn like Last Week Tonight and the stuff that is porn is pretty vanilla stuff like Hookup Hotshots and Kinky Family.
Some guy on Nord downloaded “FacialAbuse E918 MILFs Cervix Gets Dilated And Sucks In Breeding Batter XXX 1080p HEVC x265 PRT[XvX]” >.>
Personally I feel that E933 is where the series really hit its stride
Cool. The government is incompetent and tech illiterate here so I’m safe anyway. It’s like running from a bear, I just have to outrun the others running from it.
There are people who pirate stuff from telegram using their mobile numbers, so I’m fine.
Telegram is encrypted.
The account details aren’t in public servers.
not the group chats
proton vpn and nord vpn are the ones i use. both are great but nord is faster
Nord doesn’t support incoming NAT ports. Neither did Mullvad anymore for that matter. Does Proton?
it works for proton
https://protonvpn.com/support/port-forwarding/
In the article for NordVPN it states that Port Forwarding doesn’t work when using NordVPN.
ya it only works for proton
Thanks!
Meanwhile me, who is behind so many layers of badly configured ISP NAT that there’s no way anyone knows exactly what computer is downloading what: 😈
How bizarre, none of the items on the list were actually things I downloaded, and none of the things I downloaded were on the list.
Public perception isn’t aware of the dynamic and changing nature of most IP addresses.
Once you are though it’s easy to see why the site might not work or even show incorrect results.
Same for me… I wonder what’s going on? /s
probably your ISP doing funky things
Apparently I downloaded the fate of the furious 4 hours ago on mobile data according to it?
Yeah I am not familiar with mobile data, but I suspect mobile ips are dynamic or shared. Apparently my mobile-data-neighbor downloaded porn.
We should modernise the silly number neighbour fad by leaving messages for the next user of our public IP.
turned on a vpn and 2 notable things on here are someone downloading one piece books and probably illegal content
Huh, my page is empty.
Put one in the win column for Surfshark. (and a tip of the hat to TopCashBack, who is rebating me 80-90% of my recent 2 year renewal)
