I prefer DDL as first priority as I get majority of my content from there. I used to torrent from public trackers when I started torrenting many years ago. A year ago I was able to get into some private trackers. I use them to upgrade my movie collection i.e replacing my old files with better quality.

Right, I got my movies, music on my storage so I own it. Of course it wasn’t free, I’d to pay with electricity, internet service provider costs. I don’t have space to keep set of dvd/bluray/cd’s wherein a single hdd/ssd can hold all of that data. Most of the new content is mostly crap nowadays. I won’t pay a dime for it. So yeah will sail the high seas and get my content as long as the options are available to me.

Unfortunately the communities mentioned here are dead. So better to stick to the r/opensignups sub or check this OpenSignup telegram group.

Had joined this a while ago, got few downloads while the global freeleech is going on. My only concern with these new trackers is content retention is dismal due to lenient seeding rules. Long term seeding should be made a priority for the tracker to thrive and succeed.

I’m amused at these statements these ‘wannabe’ pirates make to justify piracy. A smart person would pirate quietly without letting the world know or justifying it.

I know why I do it & I don’t want some validation, internet points, 2 minutes of fame to sound / look cool.

The humor / memes posts there are the most annoying. I hope we don’t see such low effort posts here.
