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.

TBH I was in the same boat, and finally went usenet when they rised the prices for all that streaming shit across the board, once again. Took me one afternoon to figure out.

I'd like to torrent, it's morally more piratey, as in "if I pirate already, then it should be totally free", but the usenet experience just is so much cleaner. And now I still pay, but like 30ish โ‚ฌ per year and have no headache anymore and basically all the streaming services at my fingertips.

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

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!

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.

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.
