Supposedly piratebay is gonna become a pay site now! Anyone know any other good torrent site?

 

To be honest, you don't really want to be using public sites anyway. If you're using torrents instead of newsgroups or rapidshare stuff (like from warez-bb.org) then try torrentbytes.net

Excuse my ignorance - what's the advantage of newsgroups or rapidshare? Are they easy to use?

I don't know much about newsgroups, although there is a post on here about it. The main advantage of newsgroups and rapidshare is that you don't need to seed the files like you do on a private sites (to keep your ratio up), and it will max your connection, which you don't always (or even often) get on public sites.

 

So, to simplify it:

 

Newgroups and Rapidshare:

 

No seeding/uploading

Full speed of your internet connection

 

Private Torrents sites/trackers:

 

Full speed (because people are made to do the next thing...)

Have to upload at least as much as you download

 

Public Torrent sites/trackers:

 

Don't max out your connection at full speed (because of...)

Don't have a ratio, so you can just download and run.

Is anyone using newsgroups in 2024? Thinking of getting back to them to max out my connection (900mbps) and would appreciate any recommendations for services.

 

Are they still a thing?

They are. Started using them again and they're pretty great for most modern releases. Faster downloads than torrents and no seeding. But a paid service and not perfect. I might just milk the fuck out of the service this month, get my plex library up to date then go back to torrents.

How much is it per month?

 

What software is needed?

 

How traceable are you?:

What's the benefit over using Kodi with a real debrid account?
