I find it pretty funny. Old media had their chance to have their cake and eat it too but completely discounted the internet as a way to provide content, and discounted Netflix as a serious competitor. If they hadn't, ad breaks for 3 minutes every 7 minutes never would have went away.

Yep. VPN is for public torrents.

I use one for my private trackers too. I have to assume they've been around long enough and have enough users that someone invited a narc

Well sure but my understanding was a lot of private trackers don't like people using vpns. I never could be bothered trying to climb up the private tracker pyramid well I did sort of try but lost interest quickly. Seemed pretty pointless to me.

I found a huge file dump on Usenet that crossed the 4000 day mark so my retention dropped off, and I’m so mad nobody re-upped that stuff in the last 10 years.

There’s definitely a whole world outside of Usenet that’s useful and I won’t give up, but for regular mainstream poo poo it’s so easy and reliable.

I do. It doesn't have everything. Neither do private or public trackers.

I am so glad I found a community of people whos entire purpose in life is to pirate Oceanianian TV shows. Season 2 of Guy Montgomery's Guy Mont Spelling-Bee can't come fast enough.

Where is the Guy Mont Spelling-Bee pirate community. Who is the Guy Mont Spelling-Bee pirate community. Overseas kiwis?
