There are torrent sites on the megathread... You just have to scroll down to where it says "Torrents" rather than direct download. I'll be honest, you come off as a bit entitled in this post. Calling a free resource that someone took the time to make "useless" just because you didn't take the time to scroll down is a bit rude, IMO. Not that I think you meant to come off that way.
Anyway, here's a link to the torrenting section on FMHY's piracy resource list.. The link should automatically scroll down to the list of torrent sites ;)
You're right, I don't mean to sound entitled in any way, I'm just...frustrated and a bit lost. And it's hard, because I don't necessarily know where to look for help because the community (naturally) is fairly underground. Even signing up for this and posting this makes me nervous that I'll "get caught" somehow, despite having a VPN.
You're right though, I just assumed that since Torrents seem to be the best method, they'd be at the top. But they're down there, I'm just clueless. I'm already having success with the 1337 site other people recommended though, which is good to know about.
Hey props to you for acknowledging it, we all have our moments!
I definitely feel you on how frustrating it can be sometimes to access information in the piracy community, both due to potential legal repercussions and to a certain insularity. Pirates don't always want to share the cool new thing, because sometimes when too many people start knowing about the cool new thing, corporations will also learn about the cool new thing and want to shut it down.
1337x.to has been my go-to for a while, I rarely fail to find what I'm looking for there!
Echoing what this person said! ^
Your policing of conversation isn't really adding to the discussion either, is it? You could just downvote, or better yet, ignore it and move on.
Yeah if there's one thing reddit lacked, it was people in the comments taking a moral stand on some issue at everyone else's expense.
It's not adding to the originally conversation, it's starting a new one.
You're right; I deserve the downvote.
RARBG was the peak but 1337x is still okay despite them constantly listing fake seed/leech numbers. I've ranked it just above TPB in sonarr/radarr after they've grabbed numerous files with '30 seeders' that wind up sitting idle in QBit for days without seeders until I delete it and blacklist the release because they don't update their counts.
I used to use TPB until I came across 1337x. It feels more modern and seems to have higher quality downloads, and more recent downloads.
1337x.to is my go to.
