Stop talking to those people about anime then

i've been downloading off of primitive russian (or something) streaming sites that have hardcoded subs and animekai watermarks
it's sad but I'll swear it's the least trouble

>>287601756
Literally everywhere else, with /a/ being the sole exception.

And people tell me I'm wrong for saying streaming was a mistake. If you can't even figure bittorent out. you're not a real nerd.

>>287601791
Stop going anywhere else.

Nyaa.si is still going.

>>287601704
How about you just shut the fuck up and torrent in private like everyone else?

This is a good thing. Gatekeeping is good, if you don't even have to gatekeep, because its "cringe" to do the things
, then thats an objective positive.

>>287602126
This, and less people torrenting makes sure that it remains uncompromised and alive. If too many people know about torrenting, many bad things might happen

>>287601704
normies have never been into torrenting for some reason even though its incredibly easy and safe (if youre not a retard). And these days unless it's some niche content it's not even slow to download like it was back in the day, I can download an 8 gig movie in like 5 minutes if there's seeders. It's just crazy normies will gladly hop on streaming services with forever subscription fees like its nothing but its total crickets for a free and arguably more convenient alternative. A lot of people seem to think your ISP will call the FBI on you if you torrent something, I guess all those million dollar lawsuits over downloading a song on napster back in the day worked as intended.

Why are you talking to people about anime?

people?

>>287601704
when have you never gotten weird looks about talking about torrenting?

brother it's always been like that

>>287601704
Stop talking to normalfags. In fact why are you revealing your powerlevel at all?

>>287602362
torrenting requires basic tech literacy, like knowledge of what files and folder structures are and they also have to understand the concept of seeders when normies are used to downloading everything from the "cloud" which they act like isnt just someone elses computer. this kind of knowledge has been intentionally eroded by tech companies among normoids over the years so that they stay inside the companies controlled ecosystems.

>>287602192
>and less people torrenting makes sure that it remains uncompromised and alive.
This is quite literally the opposite of reality

>>287604451
I guess he means that if torrenting isn't used by too many people, THEY won't bother with cracking down on it.

What happened to hiding your powerlevel?

>>287601704
Its not dying so much as its not longer strictly necessary for people. There was a long period of time there where torrents and fansubs was literally the only way you could watch many shows, because there was no official translations or localization. Fucking hell, even Neon Genesis Evangelion went like 20 years where there was no legal way to watch it that wasn't an increasingly scarce dvd collection from the 90s that went for 3 or 4 hundred dollars on ebay. Of course people would torrent it! As Gaben said about video games: piracy is primarily a service issue.
With anime entering into the mainstream, such that you can find seasonal anime on netflix and amazon prime now which are not even specifically anime streaming services, anime is simply more accessible now than it ever has been. You CAN torrent, but for most people the question is "why would you bother"? They think its always going to be available on streaming the same way that popular movies and shows are, they don't think about torrenting The Office because they know they can always turn on Netflix and watch it there. So why would they torrent Demon Slayer?

>>287605386
This is true but also
>>287603175
this is true.
Both of these things kind of sum it up..
although I'll add one big negative about streaming sites is everything is curated and sponsored, All produced by the same companies.
People are basically given the illusion of choice and also the illusion of freedom sold under a guise of convenience that removes a lot of the agency of being a human and discovering and forming your own taste when it comes to modern streaming services
The problem is modern streaming services have just fallen trap and become the same thing as cable and legacy media was once corporations moved in and figured out how to monopolize the internet like everything else and we don't have a new alternative and way to find shit now because traditional websites are dead and most traffic on the internet is centered on a few sites.

What this means for torrenting is that the average person/normie feels they have no need to explore or dig deeper into anime beyond the stuff that is pushed by the algorithm , no need to post on forums and discuss or search out anime or try anything new, With streaming sites, With streaming sites most normies are bound to watch the old classics first for nostalgia purposes then they are locked into a algorithm loop of stuff that is all the same, no growth, constantly stuck in a cycle of consuming media that is cheaply produced by slave labor korean sweatshops to cut corners or AI to appease corporate investors and improve profit margins

This isn't just exclusive to anime, It's every form of media. Even though 4chan annoys the fuck out of me with how it's fallen victim to advertisers and other covert shill tactics, it's one of the last bastions of the old internet so here we are, the few who have to keep shit like torrenting alive.

tldr; Torrenting is dead because people are increasingly conditioned to be fed slop and the younger gens have no frame of reference to what life was like beforehand

I only figured out how to torrent in 2006. Is it weird I'm insecure and figured out how to watch anime back in the early 2000s even though I looked for it?

>>287601704

i talk about anime in social settings, at work, etc so that all these people will get the ick and leave me alone
that way i won't get invited to some retarded social functions and can focus on myself and a few trusted friends

>>287606237
It doesn't matter honestly, What does matter is that crunchyroll exists and the same people who don't care now are the same people who ignored the warnings years ago when people said fansub groups would die and crunchyroll/netflix having a monopoly on anime subs would lead to the current problem of everything sounding and looking the exact same and being soulless slop.
So the larger issue is that instead of searching nyaa and siing multiple fangroups doing a show, we have one company that hires a bunch of people who don't give a shit doing every show shittily and censoring or editing things they don't like because people like us never spoke up enough about it and people like you never listen

>It was always this way anon, it's just a you problem
>Just don't worry about the industry and world getting worse and worse, just focus on yourself
This shit never works, I've heard the same shit for different slippery slopes throughout the years and what happens is people get normalized to the new way of life or things changing so much that memories distort or perhaps they are too young to even have memories of when things were different, This is why people like me will keep yelling at clouds, History is only recorded if you write it and with social media being the way it is, narratives are constantly being written by corps that tell you things were always this way and to not care, just keep on simply existing in a docile state.
Things like torrenting are relatively non consequential but they are signs of an overall control over individual expression and freedom so it's important to keep them going

>>287601704
You tell people who can see your face that you download anime?
I'm pretty sure that's why they look at you weird.

>>287607671
You have never seen the threads where they dump screenshots of ancient newsgroup posts?
They complained about the death of anime before you were even born.

>>287607709
And when you look at those posts, they had the same arguments about things getting worse, except back then, things weren't as bad yet.
They've actually gotten worse, much like they predicted.

>>287607709
I don't think those people are right but I also don't think they are completely wrong.
I'm not trying to say that anime is dead or anything is dead. I'm just stressing it's important to realize the inner workings of the industries of media you consume and speak out about them/ pushback.
I'll give one example for people who play video games. Shit goes like this
>Horse armor released as paid dlc for TES Oblivion
People threw a huge stink over it but eventually the pushback cooled off and companies continued to slowly over time push towards an end goal
>paid dlc becomes normalized and loot boxes are introduced, rng microtransactions
People push back against the loot boxes and rng microtransactions but people also go "Oh paid dlc isn't SOOOO bad, just look at the microtransactions"
>Microtransactions and rng gambling normalized
The slope goes on,
Do you get my point at least? I just ask that people try to remember the history of things and connect the dots, Those people arguing about anime being dead before had an element of truth to it, Things were changing for the negative or rather there was complaints to be had about anime back then and nobody did a thing about it, It's not that nothing EVER happens it's that happenings happen slowly over time and people's resistance towards it is also eroded just as slowly .

What's the point?

I get the same quality if I just watch it on a random piracy site

>>287601704
Why would I download my anime when I can just use pirate sites?

>>287606253
Yeah, hey, underage retard, I literally mentioned the thing that did happen and we were fine.

>>287608662
The bulk of people who would be gatekept through basic measures leech and don't seed anyway goof. The ones who seed and have a willingness to contribute will do so irregardless of whatever lack of "culture" or gatekeeping exists.

>>287609681
To avoid quality loss from data compression. I bet you listen to music from jewtube.

>>287609681
So I can stream it to my TV.

>>287611277
The majority of normalfags stream anime on their phone or tablet while wearing garbage headphones or lossy wireless earbuds. While higher quality is an objective benefit it's meaningless to faggots who simply don't care in the first place, because their setup already compromises so much that they don't really notice the jump from a heavily compressed "720p" stream on watchanimeonline to a 1080p Blu-Ray encode.

Normalfaga will literally sacrifice everything for the sake of immediate convenience, even long term convenience.

>>287611733
This is true, and this is why "AI" dooms us all.

>>287611783
Don't put it in quotation marks just because it's not identical to the shitty sci-fi stories that only people who know nothing about technology care about. ChatGPT is a lot more insightful, helpful, and creative than you will ever be.

>>287611733
>even long term convenience
Or just at the cost of maintenance or actually owning stuff. They prefer to conveniently rent rather than own but be meticulous. Which of course makes things worse for the people that want to own.

>>287611958
You're just so low IQ that chatgpt actually impresses you.

>>287606237
Does Crunchyroll or whatever streaming site work with anime4k? Yeah, didn't think so.

the last time I told someone that I download anime they made fun of me for not having money. I mean, they're right about me not having money to waste on fucking anime. I'll buy merch and attend special screenings because the physical experience is what I'm all about.

Downloading is always a good thing. The whining about anime streaming sites going down is less common on here than whining about manga reading sites going down, but it's the same shit. If you download and store what you want you don't have to worry needing to adjust to new sites that pop up. Or what content they host. Especially with anime it's nice to get what copy you want instead of just sticking with whatever is uploaded to a given streaming site.

>>287601704
I usually torrent anime for convenience but isn't it all still made at 720p? You're not really missing anything by streaming it.

>>287613034
This, also with torrenting you can usually preemptively tell if a pack is going to have some issue or problem before you start, whereas with some random streaming site you could be 20 episodes in and the subs turn to dogshit, or they start cutting the op or something.

>>287601704
Streaming sites are more than good enough. It isn't 2008 anymore. There's almost no difference in quality between a crunchyroll rip and something on animekai.

Most zoomers (hell, most people) prefer to watch anime on their tv's and phones over a desktop computer because it's more comfortable. That's why they prefer to buy their shit because everything they want is just a few clicks away, and for the normalfags who know how to pirate, they use streaming sites over torrenting for those reasons because they probably just don't care about the quality loss from streaming and don't have the time or drive storage needed to set up a proper media server, along with the fact that it has the benefits of official services (needing a few clicks to watch whatever instantly instead of having to download shows and use disk space). Obviously, torrenting is better for people like us who have free time and just overall better in the long term, but streaming obviously has its own benefits and appeals to casuals who just want to watch shit whenever without having to put in as much effort, and I could really give less of a shit about the ways people watch the shows they like even if torrenting shows is just objectively the superior way to watch things.

On a very low abstract level, yes, you're right, but the argument that it's more convenient or just "good enough" doesn't work either. If I stream anime, and it buffers ONCE, that completely negates the benefits of using a stream platform. If I go to look up an episode and it's not there, or god forbid actually pay money for a service and it has network issues, or even slightly delays my watching of a show, it becomes immediately worse than torrenting.

When I press play, my show starts instantly. All those little microseconds of waiting, buffering, looking things up, logging in, changing quality settings, all of those rob you of valuable time that you will never, ever get back. Life is short, and NEETdom is shorter.

>>287601741

Counterpoint: not every anime is worth this treatment. I'd rather not waste my storage space on 4K HD FLAC audio episodes of mediocre seasonals that I'm unlikely to ever watch again. For anime I remember fondly, on the other hand, I'd import the BD directly from Japan if possible and rip it myself.

Though I understand that some anons want to build an anime Library of Alexandria for when the internet shuts down due to WW3 or when the ZOG starts banning all pre-pozzed era media.

Torrenting made sense back when streaming was actual dogshit, but any halfway decent streaming site nowadays has at least 1080p.
Torrenting is now only for long-term storage (not ideal for airing series if wanna wait for BDs), for getting good screenshots, or for making edits and such.

Yes they have. Late 90's and early 2000's was peak torrenting core. Everyone was doing it back then. The amount of people who knew how to torrent and barely knew how to use a computer was insane.

>this thread
Why do people think zoomers are solely the problem with the world when it's just normgroids being normgroids and more normgroids appeared on the internet when zoomers grew up

>>287622584
Zoomers are the first generation without a rebellious phase in a long, long time. rebellious phases are necessary if you want creativity because it's when a generation explores their limits and finds themselves. Piracy is one such form of rebellion cracked down on by overbearing parents, radical styles of music and art are another, as are secret and esoteric forms of communication and social meetings.

Can YOU think of any of those that Zoomers are known for? The problem with Millennial parents having more tech savviness than the zoomers that come after them is abundantly clear in that they can keep them under their thumb effectively until they're too old to have any rebellious thoughts. Even the boomer normgroids of yesterday knew this and had rebellious urges.

>>287622726
I don't think it's their fault though, they were raised in a pretty shitty time to live and are now having their minds raped by things like short form content and hyper-personal algorithm that are specifically tailored and scientifically engineered to hack into their brains and keep them engaged with them as long as possible.

Back in the 2000s and even the 2010s this stuff simply either did not exist or was a lot more primitive than it is nowadays. If zoomers grew up on an internet more like what older generations had then they probably wouldn't be so fucked up like this.

>They actively refuse any kind of help though.
There are some that actively do get help though. I remember when a lot of them were ditching smartphones entirely a while ago and getting cellphones instead. Others are limiting their time spent online or ditching crap with algorithmic feeds.
You shouldn't generalise all of them as being the same old tik tok zombies, IMO.
Also, gen alpha is going to be way worse off than zoomers ever will be.

Of course not ALL of them, but most of them seems unable to do anything about their situation meanwhile they are getting fucked over by everyone including governements and corporations, I'm talking of the majority of my interactions with them (there were few based genzers of course and I'm myself zillennial/older genz, mid 90's).
They'll tell you they that they are tired of being controlled by centralized algorithmic platforms, but then absolutely refuse to use anything self-hosted or decentralized, they'll tell you they are tired of software enshittification but then absolutely refuse to use anything open-source or Linux-based, the result is that even most of the "alternative" stuff is now locked behind Discord, Youtube, etc, and that decentralized stuff like torrent is on the decline.
If I had to compress gen z in a single sentence it would be the generation of "learned helplessness".
>gen alpha is going to be way worse
Maybe, and maybe this will make them rebel unlike genz, who knows.

We should normalize and encourage killing on the spot any faggots attempting to talk about torrenting and piracy in public.
This is not some cool guy club, you will not get ovations for it and you'll get called a retarded faggot if another website will blow up and get closed down due to legal issues or not keeping up with food of braindead, entitled normies.
Download your shit and learn to shut the fuck up.

>>287624496
>In our attempt to gatekeep our hobbies, we forgot to guide the younger generation
Private trackers are the worst offenders for this.
>>287624814
And then what? What happens in 20-30 years when all the torrenters will be old and tired, and noone uploads anything anymore or can be bothered to seed? Want to end up like usenet and irc?

>>287622373
The Napster client tried to limit it to file extensions like mp3, but third party clients could do other file types.
Anyway, internet piracy started with music. Video was too heavy and didn't get viable until a couple of years later.

>>287624831
Dunno, probably we all gonna be dead so not my business.
Also - What are you doing to keep this from happening? Where is your little, private server full of obscure treasures? How much shit you're seeding?
Attracting masses to these obscure niches is very retarded. Not /a/ related, but we saw just few weeks ago what happened with Myrient because normies smelled free shit and some jeets made application to download shit en masse. The normies just consume, they don't understand the concept of moderation and putting something back into the communal system.
And obviously on top of that there are all the legal issues. The more publicly discussed the service is, the more probable is that copyright holders and lawyers representing them will find it.
And obviously just the fact that screeching about you pirating shit is just obnoxious and retarded.

>>287624942
>we all gonna be dead so not my business
Shortsighted, "I got mine fuck you", classic.
>What are you doing to keep this from happening?
I'm doing my part.
>what happened with Myrient
Bad example, they were retarded because they wanted direct download and to control everything, instead of using decentralized file sharing like torrents, it was entirely their fault, there is nothing bad with automated download, it's less than 100~ lines of Python, it's the model that was wrong. Everyone should use torrents for filesharing and the trackers should be more open, making routine dumps of their databases.
>Attracting masses
Not the masses (which don't care anyway), but we do need new blood, there are likeminded people and there are retards in every generation, gatekeeping should act as a filter not as a blockade.

>private trackers
This concept always seemed retarded to me.

>>287625034
Their only purpose should be to ensure that shit gets seeded, that's it, they shouldn't have all the power that they have, they are retarded powertrippers but they could be so much better.

Sounds like you don't have any friends.
Private trackers ensure your userbase is comprised of people who solely do hit and runs and encourage people to seed everything in their library. Something like 90% of nyaa's torrents are dead, even discounting seasonal episode torrents, and that's because nobody gives a shit about seeding. The only releases that do get consistent seeds are the ones with communities around them (and often, it's people who are also seeding those torrents on private trackers).

Stremio with torrentio using nyaa as a source is technically torrents.

>>287601704
Good. Thanks to streaming torrenting is still a secret club.
I don't even get warnings from my ISP anymore about going to piratebay on the rare occasion that I want to watch something that isn't anime or on Youtube.

For me it's watching on youtube at 240p in multiple 10min long parts back in 2008.

>>287625408
>Sounds like you don't have any friends.
Yes I don't, yet I seed a lot of stuff from nyaa, the two things are completely uncorrelated.
Letting a cabal of nepotistic power trippers control torrenting is a completely retarded idea, going against decentralization and everything torrent should be, it will backfire in the future.

>>287625464

Hardly controlling torrenting when a lot of those people also wouldn't be seeding if it weren't for private trackers rewarding that behavior, and a lot of releases wouldn't be up through torrents and instead through far worse DDL programs without private trackers ensuring that they stay up.

Im in the second normalfag pool desu. Ive torrented the odd show I will rewatch but I watch 30-40 shows per season. I cba with the hassle/storage management for torrenting all of them, especially when its stuff Ill never watch again. The thing with streamfags that annoys me is when people post low res images in the threads for airing stuff.

>>287626597
>I watch 30-40 shows per season
What the fuck is wrong with you?

>>287626698
I like most stuff (that doesnt make it good), I like shitposting with anons even more. I've watched slop that I thought would be good. I've watched good shows that I thought would be slop.

>>287601704
Streaming anime has always been more popular among normalfags than downloading. Also the average normalfag either genuinely doesn't know how to torrent or they think you're guaranteed to get in trouble with your ISP for doing it.

>>287626964
The point is that 30-40 isn't enough to cover the current season. You need to step up your game.

>>287627077
I meant on average. This season its 42 and thats without watching stuff that are big sequels like Re:Zero or Iruma-kun etc. My point was more why tf would I torrent all of these shows instead of a small few?

>>287627228
Because torrenting them via RSS is easier and gives you better quality than illegal streaming sites.

rebellious phases are just rebellious phases though. Boomers championed the "Make love, not War, slogan and the line from The Who's My Generation "I hope I die before I get old" was their favorite song, yet they ended up growing up to be the generation to hold power for the longest and have a deathgrip on said power, along with distilling the forever-war method to a science.

>>287610286

So what's yout point, do nothing and let the status quo fuck you over?
Boomers did change some things, there is no more segregation is schools, more sexual freedom, and a "war is le bad" cultural background (wars happens regardless but optics are important), now you may say that these things are good or bad or just a facade, you may say that their materialist and edonist culture was a downgrade, but regardless of what you think they did make a tangible change.

>>287629194
>So what's yout point, do nothing and let the status quo fuck you over?
You say this as if every counterculture movement from the boomers onwards were not perpetuated by older generations selling said counterculture to the youth. Fashion, music, movies, etc. were all made by older generations old enough to actual produce that stuff and younger generations just buy said shit. Zoomers have no counterculture because companies have realized that 1) They don't need to brand things as counterculture anymore in a hyper consumeristic society and 2) It's hard to be counterculture in a world where eating ass is normal and sissy hypno gets way more views than they should be
>New generations could make a change too, if they wanted, but they don't.
You can't make a change when voting relies on demographics and your boomer parents decided to have no children so they're voting demographic has been locked in for the rest of their lives.

There was a sea change in how the Internet was used and perceived by the masses in 2013. By then you know you weren't going to find anything decent on large websites. Nowadays I hunker down in my chatrooms and other websites and explore the internet once in a blue moon. I go to large sites like 4chan every once in a while to check up on things. Threads like this make me glad I have my own spaces and am not part of the larger whatever is going on.

It's sour grapes, everyone is aware that any money they make- even if it's what used to be a fuck-you endless amount of money like several millions, can also lose it in the blink of an eye because of how ridiculous the playing field has been tilted in favor of people who don't even treat money as an object but as a natural law of the universe. People who routinely go through a million dollars in a day and never worry about going bankrupt as a phone call to some friends will restock them in the blink of an eye.

Those kinds of people are relentlessly bitter about effectively not making it, and thus feel it is their duty to stomp on "The poors" so they aren't mistaken for being in the same boat as everybody else.

The problem is that once you have a more convenient (or perceived as such) alternative you will not ever be in the position where you have to learn.
We failed new generations because we were not able to comunicate to them why using torrents and controlling your local files is a goo things that is worth the extra effort.
Corporations take advantage of this, they offer convenience "for free" but in fact you have to sell your soul to them, but this is something you will only realize years later.
To be fair even older generations are not immune from this dark pattern, for example all millennials fell for this when Google was shilling Gmail and now they defacto control email.
It's just that new generations are hit but so many of these dark patterns that they don't have a chance, we were supposed to warn them and guide them, which is different than "holding their hand".

Also, as an addendum. I was around in 2003. I knew what torrenting was, and I STILL got the majority of my anime buy purchasing it.
Internet speeds were shit slow back in the day. Too often would I be 2 or 3 days into a download, and the torrent would just fucking die.

>Did somebody guide YOU to torrenting?
way back in the day, yeah. There are less guides online now on how to download a torrent client, what a DHT is, why a port needs to be open, why you should encrypt your headers, etc. than there were when I started.

When I started, DDL was still extremely popular and the way most people got anime was going on IRC channels and finding bots. Those bots, in an attempt to lessen the load, had a complete guide to downloading azureus (later utorrent) and configuring it to use with TokyoTosho.

It was not handholdy, I was expected to know a few technical things, but it wasn't "New here? Why don't you invent your own internet?" That faggots think that lurk moar or spoonfeeding was made to prevent. There was a genuine culture of helping people who were trying to learn instead of just telling everyone to fuck off and being surprised when important pirate infrastructure fails because one of the six oldniggers who had been gatekeeping the hobby for decades died of a heart attack in his nursing home and all of the kids would rather just beg mom to buy the show from crunchyroll than beg your bitter elderly ass to find out what a distributed hash table is.

It wouldn't be considered 'more convenient' if we got the stick out of our ass about streaming or taught people how to use bittorrent on their phones.

I taught my nephew how to use tosho, what has anyone else done to help the next generation of freebooters?

streaming is literally better in general

>>287634205
Streaming is only better for seasonal anime that you're not going to keep. If you want to check out the slop, streaming makes more sense. If you want to keep a genuine classic to use on anything bigger than a laptop screen than it makes no sense to not pirate. Even buying it doesn't give you as good or as convenient quality with how shit these streaming services are, now.

>>287629313
Unfair comparison, Gen Alpha has it WAY HARDER than us, I would argue they're the first generation in a century to have literally nothing to look forward to.

>use bittorrent on their phones
See the problem with that is that phones are incompatible with the torrent model, even if you can somehow open ports and all of that, you won't be able to properly seed because for most times you will not even be connected to wi-fi and you wouldn't do it on mobile data, furthermore phone operating systems are actively hostile towards filesystems and smartphones don't have much storage available anyway, peer-to-peer sharing needs stable internet and lot of storage, it's designed for home personal computers and servers.
I'd love to help them don't get me wrong but it's hard when the way they "compute" is so different and incompatible.

>would they even read blog posts and discuss in forums?
They would if it was a reddit post, sadly. MOst young people still use search engines by typing their question and 'reddit' at the end because AI has destroyed search results for everybody. They would probably also read a twitter thread.

I think this is another problem in that by gatekeeping everyone younger than 30 out of the hobby, none of us are in-tune with gen Alpha or even zoomers to know how they communicate or what sites they use. Almost all of my younger relatives have zero socials, they scroll logged out on tiktok and youtube and just never talk to anyone online.

>>287632392
I've gotten into the habit of doing that before I watch anything
Also some stuff just gets erased, I was going through some past seasons amd was finding episodes with a size of 0 bytes

I’m just never sure if seeding right, like if I close laptop or eventually delete the file does it turn into leaching?

>>287635718
eventually it turns into compost and you get fresh tomatoes

Basically for seeding you need:
the computer must be running
the computer must be connected to the internet
the torrent client must be running
the torrent must be in seeding mode (after it finishes downloading it will be in seeding mode automagically)
the files must exist in your computer (and they must be in the same directory so don't move them, you may symlink them if you want)
>does it turn into leaching
You leeching when you don't have the files (or chunks of files to be precide) yet because you're downloading them basically leeching is another word for downloading, when you have the files and you're sharing you're seeding basically seeding is another work for sharing.
Note that you can also have a portion of the files, most torrent clients let you select which files you want to specifically leech/seed.
So say that you add the Touhou Project All-In-One Pack torrent from nyaa but you only care about touhou 6, 7 and 8 then you can also just do those and ignore the rest.

>>287635718
If you're downloading without uploading, you're leeching
If you're uploading without downloading, you're seeding
If you're uploading and downloading, you're peering
If you're closing, deleting, or stopping a torrent the moment you have the file, you're sucking
If you're getting your download speeds throttled from sucking, you're choking
If you're telling a janitor to kill himself, you're sneeding.

Chocking on anon's chunks... slurping anon's seed...

I miss megaupload era with rapidshare and lite release.

>>287636333
Same, but those eras are long gone. We get streaming services hiding all of their downloads behind CDNs or we get torrents.

Did not know how good we had it with rapidshare.

>>287636333
I do remember that era, although I was already using torrents I remember this anime sharing forum in my cunt, it was really comfy, then police raided it and it was over, RIP.

Biggest loss of the recent couple years was Ghost and AEOG disappearing taking down their entire archives. None of their ~2000 BD rips are on public trackers and very few are on private.

It's never been a very normal thing, and we should leave it that way.

such a retarded boomer way of looking at it
just because it is saved in a file on your disk in your autism folder (or even, just in a folder that is not a browser cache) doesn't mean anything magical has happened
even streaming naruto shippuden at 240p in ethernet explorer is still "downloading", it's literally transfering bytes across the wire into your computer
don't act like you are some misunderstood genius snowflake above the normalfags
and dont reply to me before you buy physical copies and upload to your computer from the media storage device

ok retard

>>287640605
why did you respond to the worst bait in the world?

>>287640605
It is. In streaming, what happens is that a torrentGOD shares his torrents by putting the torrents on a stream.
I go to stream site and enjoy the torrents. Ofc the torrents are on a stream for easy viewing.
If site site dies, all this torrent master needs is to send the files to somebody else for instance by torrenting them. That means another torrentGOD can make a new streaming site. This torrentgod puts his own torrents in the streaming site.

>>287604875
Checkmate, bitch, I'm 21.

>>287601704
When it comes to streaming and letting physyical media die, people just love to be plugged up their own asses and just go with the flow to whatever dystopian change happens just cause they have the mantra of ''Dont matter how Bad, You Get used to it'', but at the end, it doesnt matter that you get used to it, it is bad, it was bad, and it will always be BAD.

These people have no self-respect.

Zoomers have one you just get banned for it.
What am I supposed to do, go out in public with a I love Hitler shirt and get blacklisted from everything by HR harpies and kikes? There is counter culture for Zoomers, they just get punished for expressing it at all.

The problem is that younger generations can't even fucking read anymore, so the how-to guides of old would be wasted on them. Good luck teaching them how to torrent in the time limit of a TikTok video with loud music, loud noises, and Subway Surfers in the corner, and expecting them to retain any of it. Millennials are going to be the last tech-literate generation.

the guide 1. open qbittorrent 2. open magnet site 3. have computer

I remember when I started trying to use bittorrent in the early 00s that I just didn't understand the concept of downloading a torrent file and then using that to download the actual files. From what I remember I thought the torrent file was the final file I wanted. There's a lot more information about it now, or at the very least I wasn't as competent at using the internet and finding the information that was available.

I've stopped torrenting and subscribed to abema.tv instead. Still download via yt-dlp.

All countercultures that haven't been absorbed into the mainstream culture and commodified are suppressed. That's the entire point of a counterculture. Suck it up.

Some of it probably, but 4chan's userbase also keeps getting older. Do boomers meme about avocado toast and clicking the book to feel more mature? I think it's the opposite, they feel old and out of touch and bitter about it.
