I recommend registering on some usenet indexer instead.
- blitzar 3y agoI download all my linux ISO's through usenet these days.
- xu3u32 3y agoGames? Or other software?
- moffkalast 3y agoThat almost costs more than actually paying for the content.
- Zetaphor 3y agoI pay ~$100 year and it's a far better experience than I've ever had with torrents
- moffkalast 3y agoYou also have to associate credit card info with illegal activity that leads directly back to your physical self. Pass.
- cyberge99 3y agoNope. Most accept crypto.
- moffkalast 3y agoWell unless it's Monero, it's still just as traceable and you pay twice as much in various transfer fees.
- luciusdomitius 3y agonope, bitcoin, doge and many others are pseudonymous and as long as you are not retarded enough to buy it someplace which requires KYC, it is stupidly difficult to trace it to your identity. Especially in court.
- b215826 3y agoUsenet is good for mainstream/relatively new content, but it's not easy to find less popular/old stuff there.
- notpushkin 3y agoMy experience has been opposite, actually. A couple times I got content from Usenet when all torrents I could find were already dead. (Usually I then seed those torrents, if the files from Usenet match)
- loeg 3y agoHasn't binary Usenet been dead for something like a decade? Anything on the public NZB indexers got DMCA'd very quickly even many years ago.
- SSLy 3y agoWell, there are also semi-private and private indexers. The binary stream size grows every week.
