I do use BitTorrent, but it’s never going to beat the convenience of just searching for a file and getting it when p2p networks first came out.
For niche stuff like 1930s movies sometimes I need to start a few torrents to make sure at least one of them has seeds.
I have had success with soulseek for music, but what do you guys use for other types of files?
PTP and BTN are good for movies and TV. BHD and BLU can fill in the gaps. I don’t think it’s worth it to pirate music or software.
Software could have trojans. But why not music?
For me, because basically all music is available in one place. Watchable content is getting splintered across so many streaming services that the convenience factor is gone and piracy gets easier again.
Is PTP alive? My account got disabled due to inactivity after going straight for a few years, and the last time I went back to try and revive it, it looked like the entire site had died. I’d be happy to learn it’s still around and I would try to reactivate my account again!
