Anyone else notice that it's getting harder and harder to find torrents of things you need? Not only is new stuff not being uploaded to torrent, but old stuff is slowly being weeded out with zero seeds, even if you are lucky enough to find them. >physical media really is the only way to actually preserve things for the future.
>>214396770Like what? I can still find everything I need
>>214396770Torrents are such a boomer thing. Glad it’s finally dying off
no?
>>214396770I just use mega or something. people never seed rarer things anyway. never have, even long ago. I would always be stuck with some obscure movie stalling at 5 percent forever.
>>214396793>>214396822Maybe you are only after mainstream disney things. It is near impossible to find older stuff.
>>214396770>spreading FUD about peer to peer networksdid some investor get this idea from chatgpt?
>finally find a rare show I've been looking for>set upload speed to 0.1kbs>stop seeding the moment I download it
>>214396770Yes, work in infosec and saw this comming so built a physical library of three thousand boxsets DVD/Blue ray and 1000+ old console games and PC games. I bought in bulk buying in 20 lbs and gave the duplicates to charity shops. Even three years ago you could get new sealed stuff in bulk for nothing but its gone now. Have about 100 titles left on my list mostly movies from the 70s back to the 30s but the bad news is prices have risen and availability has fallen off a cliff in the last 12 months. Act now and you might catch the tail end of it. I started with different lists of the top 100 of each major movie genre and series and then branched out. Did the same thing when PS1, PS2, 360 games and PC game media was being thrown out along with teh consoles. Have lots of players as well from decent makers like pioneer as well as pimped SFF PCs with optical drives and the 360s and PS2 also are players for DVDs. I got with bulk lots from estate auctions. I did not want to do domestic file serves and NAS as I have enought of that shit in work, Ikea shelving is your friend. My own private blockbuster gives me immense joy as does the movie/game room I have. Its going to suck for those left behind though. Act now. the only thing I left digital was music and porn and what I had on steam but I picked up a few hundred albums and best of on CD because I got them for nearly nothing. All this shit has become way more expensive in the last 12 months and even in the charity shops I see that there is less and less.
>>214396872Infosec has made keying hashes of prirate streams and torrents and DNS and IP blocking dynamically on national backbones childs play anon. You are just techy enough to sail the seas but not techy enought to know what is happening. Lgeally its backed by age verififcation and cenbsorship laws that have come in everywhere recently but have been proposals and drafts for five yearse.ghttps://www.theverge.com/news/754987/senators-foreign-piracy-sites-block-beard-acthttps://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1k81lj8nvpoetc etc
>>214397037TLDRThe same tech that alloows for near real time blocking of DDOS and exploits on internet backbones facilitates blocking data containing pirated media. AI in inforsec is the final lap. As soon as something gets fingereed for being a rip it can wind up on the same blacklists used to block malware or exploits which is helped by the fact that is mostly how bad actors distribute them from tube sites for movies and porn but it can also hammer torrents.
>>214397037A hash is the fingerprint for a lump of data by the way. Origins in cryptography. a decade ago this would have been compuationally too expensive and induced massive latency but the tech is there now.

torrents die because fat ass data hoarding seeders eat slop and die
No, I can still find everything I want to watch.What can't you find, OP?
>>214397133>the most popular pornography sitesI'm in bongland and people just go on the sites that aren't blocked instead. You can literally just google "porn" and there are tubes that aren't blocked like page one.
>>214397145A bet on the charitible good will of others forever is always a loosing bet aside from that as p[hysical media died in retail there was less and less easy material for people to rip
>>214397149I like your sandcastle. Look the tide is coming in but everythings fine.Right? At the moment the only places outside it areplaces in Asia and Russia etc but they will be using this tech to censor and control everything that is streamed or downloaded anyway to suit their governments soon anyway simply becaus ethey can.
Probably palantir’s fault
>>214396770No.
>>214396770No I have not run into this problem but I’m not sitting on thepiratebay like a pleb
>>214397207IT indusctry wide anon, port mirroring packset shiffing and hash checking and heursistics originally used to block malicious traffic
>>214396973>work in infosec>I did not want to do domestic file serves and NAS as I have enought of that shit in workYou are retarded. This post is filled with retardation. Then again most infosec guys nowadays can't configure RAID or a distributed file system. t. sysadmin with a rack of powervaults in the basement 700tb, encrypted backups onsite and cloud and multiple usenet servers using obfuscated nzb's load balanced to download a blu-ray in 4 minutes. enjoy your ikea shelving faggot.
>>214397184Piracy is a never ending game of whack a mole. I was copying 5 1/4" floppies before you were a tingle in your daddy's balls, so spare me the histrionics, zoom zoom.
>>214396770Literally no. Everything is still available.>>214396807>dying offI disagree. Still alive and well. What is supposedly replacing them?
>>214397328I've been in IT for 30 years anon and your've probably passed exams on shit I wrote when I was stoned thanks for your insight 'sysadmin'
>>214397485I was ripping amiga games for BBSs. Your screaming in rage at technological evolution. No I don't was some crappy server room of my own to babysit either I've done my time with fibre raid arrays. I wated by private blockbuster because I am randy marsh. Find your own way by all means but don't ignore the tide coming in and be left with the normies in the sandcastles is my message. Get your library now while you can whatever way you choose. A billion optical disks a year go to landfill.
>>214397516
>>214397613What's replacing them?
>>214397552I've been around since the Novell days. 30 years and you still think optical media is the best format for file archival and retrieval? You haven't progressed in 20 years.
52 weeks in a year520 in a decade20 years 1040 movies games and series required for kino minimum3000 for choice and variety because this is the 1990s and a man has to have a little variety
>>214397660For a man who claims to have known PCON your insights are a bit worthless. If you want to keep a junk pile in your basement that's fine. I do my think you do yours. Enjoy the batteries on those raid cards dying clown. I have my blockbuster. I'm happy.
>>214397660Funnily enough though, we both have private libraries. I like the whole thing of picking a movie of the shelfI miss video stores and optical media will outlive me and provide kino to my kids for free as well. tranferable rights are kewl. Whatever the solution the message is get your kino when you can because its going behind paywalls fast. I would not trust cloud storage for my media, nothiong that depends on conectivity is yours.
>>214397698If corruption happens I have backups, but corruption won't happen because it's not 1995 and controllers failing won't fuck your shit up. Better my junk pile in the basement then a junk pile in your living room of burnt dvd's that are worthless. I threw about 1k of burned plastic away in the mid 2000's when magnetic media outscaled price per gb. My collection is far larger than yours at a fraction of the size and I can access each piece of media instantly when I want it on multiple devices. You enjoy wasting all that space, I keep mine for actual analog media like books and vinyl records.
>>214397621member megaupload and the great data death? I do.
>>214396770The tube sites have fucking everything, I don't need to torrent anymore. I've been working through a watchlist of old comedies I used to see in video stores as a kid, and I find 9/10 of all of them between Tubi and the one illegal streaming site I use.
>>214396770>torrentgalaxy is still down Fick this gay earth
>>214397823Dude you are misisng my point do what makes you happy I got sick of server rooms a long time ago and don;t wany to be looking for parts for old servers for the rest of my life and again I LIKE picking movies of shelves, I like the cover art, I like my genre sections I like my kino you do to but have gone about it differently. My digital stuff is held on five SFFs that mirror each other via peer to peer to peer in a domestic lan that is airgapped btw but its music, a porn library and my own document stores and a library of stuff like vids on engineering and the best of youtube my movie and games are on disk again that's just my way because I'd rather have everythig up to 2016 on physical, shit like the best off 360 library or PS2/PS1 library, yes even PC games on physical release hell I even have big box 5.25 releases. BY point is we are doing the same thing in different ways that are comfy for us. Me? I don't want to prick around with server rooms or connectivity based solutions that go outside my home and again I am randy marsh, I like my physical media, I like the whole process of eating popcorn and picking a movie or a game off a shelf. I'm not even sure the window for getting that cheap is still there. I don't want a blade server in my basement, I'm sick of that shit.
>use built-in search engine on qbittorrent>search for some forgotten '70s and '80s trash that even the tards from /hor/ never heard of>download it in less than an hourAh, yes. Torrents are totally dying.
>>214397916What is this fucking word salad? Use punctuation, you retarded pajeet piece of shit.
>>214397921If the two oldest real techies on this thread have personal kino libraries that are doomday proof what does that tell you?>In bf ok boomerShit sucks but denying what's happening and ending up with the normies outside of paywalls in a drying pond is dumb

>>214396770No, my private tracker has a request feature. Someone is always hoarding what you want.
>>214396858Not really
>>214398018The sandcastle is only fine until the tide hits it.
>>214396807Still paying for shit he bought the rights to a hundred times over. Fucking infants and their Tide pod brain damage.
>>214398018Hello from 2012 I keep all my shit on megaupload I can get anything I want everything is fine.
piracy is easier than it's ever been. i don't even have to download kids shows for my children, the good wholesome ones are on archive.org
>>214396770The pillars of the old internet have all left now they've seen what it is they're propping up.This good stuff didn't just fall from the aethers
>>214396880Fucking asshole. kek
>>214398038It's human instinct to assume what has been for a while always will be. However it is not true. The technological tide and legal tide has swung hard against the high seas built on the same shit that blocks exploits and malware
The Ukraine war has disrupted piracy like you wouldn't believe.
>>214397972Cool. Now learn English, fucking pajeet.
>>214398082Nothing to do with it, the exponential improvements in hash computation and backbone tech combined with shit like the incessent crap like SOPA and now the >>214397133>https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c17n9k54qz2o>Porn site traffic plummets as UK age verification rules enforced>https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/791>H.R.791 - Foreign Anti-Digital Piracy ActGot us here, nothing to do with the Ukraine war.
>>214398075>The technological tide and legal tide has swung hard against the high seasI guess that's true depending on where you are.
>>214397953>don't believe what you see>believe only what you hearkek
>>214398131Wrong. Rarbg had great quality and well seeded classic films. Now it is gone because the slavs are killing each other.
perhaps it's time to build a NAS and start hoarding. Thread feel like FUD though, I'm caballed up and the libraries keep growing and improving
>>214396858Give one example
>>214398102You're just jealous of my blockbuster obsolete raid array battery hoarder. To the soldering iron cave batman. The effect of jeets on IT and the internet has been disasterous as you well know. Muh timesharing mainframe penny scimping always connected dystopia backed by sloppy code and worse testing. Using shitty old servers to hoard high seas treasures on SSDs is pure jeet though because they don't own rooms lined with media shelves, they live in them ten to a room clutching their fake CVs and fake degress.
>>214397916ight man do you. I've setup my little datacenter cabinet to be set it and forget it, I only go down there if an alarm sounds or im upgrading storage.But yeah I've been archiving since the 90's, some of the digital music from release groups back in the days are not available anymore unless you frequent forgotten IRC hangouts. Most of the autist storage hoarders know that media versions also change year to year, so that TV show you remember being different is actually different. My late 90's early 2000's JAV porn collection you can't find anywhere is a good example of data that's disappeared on the net.
>>214398146It is what I see. >>214398202Do what is comfy for you but get it before it's gone. You don't want to wind up with the normies and zoomers outside of paywalls and on a VPN trying to download something at 9600 bps.
>>214398215I am mainly after japanese classics from the 70s and 80s. Here are a few examples out of hundreds: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0085757/https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0322118/?https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109430Ironically some of them are even available on DVD before they're available on torrents.
>>214398234I really got into this when I bought the library of PS1 games from a video rental store that closed 20 years ago but I dived on the blockbuster plan about six or seven years ago when I saw a demo of a port mirror Jupiter router that could block torrents and frames off a hash blacklist that was generated in near realtime. At that point new sealed media was being sold off in bulk by weight
what are private bittorrent trackers?
>>214398298just as vunerable as public ones.
>>214398234I still need mash, hill street blues and a about 100 others incuding klute for example. Amazing how little in games and movies it all boils down too and I've gone decade by decade back to the 20s. Same for games, althought I do keep te 8 and 16 bit stuff mostly in digital too. I try and keep my digital under 3TB
>>214398295cool yeah I've never done torrents, too slow for me and obviously traceable protocol. SSL and obfuscation is still king. Security through obscurity works. I've stuck with usenet and private release groups for years.
>>214398253all three are seeded via rutracker, zoomer
>>214398357They had their day just like BBSs which were prime in their time, stuff would be up on them before it even got released and that's where most people got their first copy of the doom wads. Most people who read this thread will be going spastic at how physical media prices go up as supply shrinks and demand spikes, seen it all before from people who would not have taken a PS2 or 360 library for free and now seethe at prices. They only want things when they are not being thrown out. Same for DVDs and blue rays.
>>214398218I can't be jealous of anything, since I wasn't able to understand your word salad in the first place, pajeet.But I see you're starting to use commas and dots. Good bitch.
I hate how dvd extras have basically never been pirated.
>>214398412Random rage post from (you). Again an SSD packed with mp4s is the jeet way, I'm going to wander into my movie room now and bask in its glow.
>>214398450All you had to do was using English, pajeet.
ahem
>>214398439The strangest stuff is becoming rare and sought after, it is quite bizzare
>>214398483Look at you with your cloud connected spellchecker helping profile your every post. Neat, very jeetlike.
>>214398526>punctuation>spellcheckerThe eternal jeet strikes again.
The 2 autists arguing while still trying to sound poetic are 100% esl and my guess is Indian.
>>214398548Clues you are a jeet, SSDs packed with MP4s (check)No physical media (check)Thinks a pile of old dell servers in a basement is magic. (check)
>>214398569Jeets don't have movie and game rooms. They have dark smelly places with no plumbing crammed full of sublets and the inbred contents of their village because saaar.
>>214398215'War of the Worlds' (1988)https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_the_Worlds_(1988_TV_series)
>>214398581Why are you writing fanfics about me, pajeet? My first post in this thread was this one. >>214397947Why are you such a fucking schizo?
>>214396770Torrenting doesn't work in a majority brown internet, just like civilization doesn't work in brown countries. This is why private trackers are important.
>>214398692fair observation the message is still get your kino library now
>>214398253You should probably try to get an AvistaZ account if you want Asian TV and cinema.
Lmao join a private tracker scrub and actually seed
>>214397133Skill issue.I'm happy for normies to be locked out, not my problem.
Fun fact the google chrome spellechecker monitors everything as you type as does the microsoft offeringshttps://www.forbes.com/sites/reuvencohen/2013/03/27/new-google-chrome-spell-checker-monitors-everything-you-type-while-fbi-secretly-watches/Most large corporate implementations flag low tier people typing executives names in email along with a list of other keywords like quitting, salary etc. Beautiful dystopia.
>>214398768Again fair but the message is still get your kino library while you can whatever way you like because the pendulum has swung against the high seas.
>>214396770Works on my machine
>>214398749Sadly private trackers don't help against backbone packet sniffing and hash detection and they still rely on active seeders each to their own, if it relies on connectivity it's not dependable.. We know what happens with physical media from what has happened with game physical media repeatedly. Supply and demand. Last exit from the gift shop.
>>214396770I stacked 4k blu rays. engame is getting a diskstation and just uploading to that and make a streaming service network in my own house with the back ups physical copies on standby.
I seed because it's the right thing to do
>>214398883why are you concerned with packet sniffing? legit question
>>214396770>>214396858the fuck you talking aboutalmost every day i see new torrents of old stuffjust the other day i discovered a public torrent for butcher baker nightmare maker and that shit was impossible to find a couple years ago even on private trackersso far there's only been one thing i've never been able to find and that's a seeded dvd rip of resident evil apocalypse where you get a more thorough look at sienna guillory's arm pits as they are cut off in subsequent releases
>>214398898How you do it is up to you but do it kino frens. For me its a private blockbuster. I really have got immense pleasure from making a movie room and do everytime I browse through it for kino, if you prefer to do that on a filesystem so be it but don;t be left with the normies in a kinoless hellscape of paywalls and arbitrary shutdowns.
>>214397851>he doesn't know
>>214398922Because port mirroring packet sniffers feed off hashes to block exploits and malware. Most torrents are actualy seeded by the same rips which have distinct fingerprints and are childs play to throw on a blacklist which can now be done automatically Then there is national level automated IP blocking initially because muh cyberwarefare but of course now creepy national firewalls see>>214397133>https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c17n9k54qz2o>Porn site traffic plummets as UK age verification rules enforced>https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/791>H.R.791 - Foreign Anti-Digital Piracy ActThe tech is already there now and it was not even a decade ago.
>>214398941i have a humble 4k film collection. i had a lot of DVD's and i know that it can become very easy to buy a DVD because you kinda like the movie. watch it once ever 10 years and thats it. I got favorite movies, and holiday movies. even though i dont think holiday movies are true kino. when its the time of the season, watch a scary movie, watch a christmas movie. but when i got the 4k's, i went for smaller.
>>214399019Nearly every night I'm on my kino couch watching something from my library. This gay earth could spit my movie room and me into outer space and I'll still be enjoying kino. About 3000 titles and series its the sweet spot for variety. It's also triue that in new releases worth watching the last decade has been absysmal and the gold to be mined is from 1920 to 2016 or so (roughly). How many crap remakes and reboots do you need?
>>214398939Nice sandcastle there. Shame about the sea getting really close.
Imagine using cloud storage from amazonn of microsoft or google when they alll also sell media behind paywalls. Or are you going to spend decades encrypting slowly while your CPU fan goes full throttle all your files and relying on connectivity for one of your main pleasures in life, the kino? Whether digital or physical it has to be local.
IMO by far the most improtant thread on /tv/ but I've said my bit so read up if you open it. Get your kino locally and make your library anons. This is the darkest era yet for internet freedoms and privacy.
>>214397826false equivalence

>>214397851Actually it's not and you're just a fucking dunce.
>>214399306Not really, that was a good example of a government hit based on legislation if not the technological angle. That was the most massive kill of human knowledge and information since the library of alexadrea got destoyed and it was not just megaupload either, all the fileshares fully of copyrighted stuff etc went in the tailspin. Memeber limewire and napster? I do. Where are they now? Shit happens.
>buy a 20tb hard drive thinking that will be enough I only have 3.7 TB left kek.
>>214398082No it hasn't.If anything the Russian search engines are especially noncompliant with western copyright enforcement now.
>>214399363that was a false equivalence megaupload isn't even close to what p2p pirating are
>>214399097nah too much for me. i am probably going to go for a couple TV series. maybe X-Files and Sopranos. maybe a couple more.

>>214400522Are we really at the point that torrent downloads are considered "physical media"? Jesus Christ.
>>214399915you are unbelievably WRONG

>>214399915torrent just dropped today lil gup
Sometimes what'll happen is a DVDRip gets uploaded nearly 20 years by someone who did a terrible job at encoding it because they're inept.And then the internet is forever stuck with that unwatchable juddery shit-tier encoding since nobody ever bothers to replace it with a competently encoded file.
>>214400848that's why scene standards exist.
Ah, the usual AI demoralization thread for inexperienced zoomers. You get these sitewide now. Basically, piracy is alive and well and solves the streaming problem. Learn to torrent, IRC share and so on and on if you haven't by now. On a positive note AI slop shouldn't be watched in any capacity so only old pre-AI media has value. Nothing modern will be worth watching anyway.
>>214396770I have noticed that when shows come out, where all episodes drop the same day, you can't find torrents with all the episodes in them anymore. Now when a new show is out you have to download the episodes individually instead of with a season pack.
>>214398253you're issue is that you are looking for obscure japanese shit. Japs are autistically anti-piracy and have a smaller torrent scene. I can find anything I want still.
>>214398218Less post makey More meds takey
>>214398253Stop consuming mid slop just because it's Japanese, you fucking gigaweeb.
>>214400703I guess so cuz I still don't understand the point you're trying to make.
Yeah i fuckin notice it, i use like 3-4 different torrent sites and the recent slop from like 4-5 years ago is always there and available but if you search for old movies from the 1930s to the 1960s theres either no torrents or a few torrents with no seeders.. For example i like Fritz Lang movies but they are hard to find,i had like 4-5 of his movies on my pc,deleted them idk why and when i wanted to see them again a few of them werent there and the rest were with 0 seeders.
Torrenting is the least anonymous current form of file sharing, and the slowest. Worked 20 years ago on the smaller internet with more select users, but that's not today.
>>214397162>Shows on streaming services are hard to ripLmao
>>214401865>t. Brainet failed the test of reading comprehension again.
>>214398215the 1946 version of Cyrano de Bergerac is impossible to find. I can find everything after the 1950s version, but I'm looking for the one starring Claude Dauphin.
>>214401070No one wants your meds kid look what they did to you.
>>214396770yts rarely fails me.
>>214401008>Nothing modern will be worth watching anyway.Fair but you are coasting on the seas existing as ever while even phyical media is going up and government and big tech are draining the pond.
>>214400848The fact the same rips are in forvever land is what makes blocking them simple.>>214400731Can;t repir multiple misisng chunks unless you like watching gibberish
>>214400483i do old game collecting as well and rotting is happening. im not saying your entire collection is going to rot in the near future but im suggesting you back it updont be a retard
>>214401070>t.Seething jeet halwfit with a fake CV using search instead of any ability or talent on le cancerous cloud.
>>214402063Go ahead and believe in FUD fairy stories about disk rot when it was just stuff from a few factories for a short time. No one gives a shit, you missed out on physical media games and you will go the same on kino because you like owning nothing and hopium.
>>214396770>torrents Do 4chan troons really?
>>214402125troons and jeets have unsable rental residency which makes home media servers and physical libraries impossible along with movie and game rooms. Its subscriptions and an SSD with some MP4s for the poor and the lost.
>>214402160Even at that, there's better, more convenient ways to download media without reducing themselves to the sewer level of fucking torrents.
>>214402063No on PC DVD/CD/ PS1/PS2 or 360. The only sjit in kino affected was a few factories for a while on warner and it got replaced for free. I'ave well over 4000 pieces of media going back to the mid 90s and have never seen it once and that includes a fair about of stuff that sat in boiling and freezing lockups and warehouses for a decade
>>214402186Each to their own but get that fucking library while you can. If it needsa connection then you are fucked ultimately
We have yet to invent a reliable form of storage. Analog formats like vinyl or tape aren't good enough, digital formats are straight up garbage. If it doesn't last in perfect condition for at least 10 millenia when stored in a humid room temperature environment, it sucks.
>>214402186are zoomers really this tech illiterate
>>214401965>Can;t repir multiple misisng chunksyes, it can. this is technology from the 60s.
>>214402114can you fucking read? i collect all this shit and rip it to a server. did your mom smoke and take shots of lead based paint when she was pregnant?
I've had a bad feeling for the last couple years that the streaming shit is just one giant rugpull waiting to happen. I have piles and piles of DVDs but I really regret not buying out all the bizarre VHS collections when rental places went out of business 10+ years ago.
>>214402369thank you for not perserving the films of the polonia brothers.
>>214402186> there's better, more convenient ways to download media Like fuckin what?
>>214402232>we have yet to invent a reliable form of storageits crystals.
>torrent>if nothing good is available, but it second hand and rip it myselfSimple as.
>>214402125>>214402160>i'd rather spend money than keep it
>>214401895Skill issueI found it on the first tracker I checked, as I knew I would
>>214398082Rutracker works exactly the same as it always has. I get 95% of old 'obscure' films from there to this day.
>>214396770>Be me>Want to rewatch the Batman>Load up HBO Max>Several minutes in can't get over the fact of how dogshit the image quality is>Can't stop hearing the low quality audio>End up just pirating an HD copyI'll be buying a physical copy during black Friday cus I'm sure the 4k will be $10 by then. It's just weird to think that streaming is basically the main source of movie watching for most people and they don't even realize how fucking low bitrate it all looks, even the 4k streaming looks like shit and just seems like a huge waste of bandwidth and money. Like the only streaming service that looks good is probably Criterion Channel because they use Vimeo.
>>214402369It also pains me to think how many kinos are out there stuck on VHS cus the rights holders don't know they own the movie or the creators died in the 90s.
>>214402232Blu-ray disc literally the best thing you can use right now.>High capacity storage>Should last a long fucking time if you get a good disc>Blu-ray is scratch resistant
>>214400848>>214400894>>214401965The point being, a quality rip done by a competent encoder is far more likely to come along in the future if the older, shitty-er rip didn't exist at all.Lots of encoders will simply notice that an upload for a particular movie exists already and then simply move on to something else, never checking to see if the encoding job was any good or not.
>>214398314Historically speaking, this isn't true.
>>214396973>charity shopsThis may shock you, Nigel, but when you don't live under a caliphate, all of this shit is still cheap. Like 2% of the population has any interest in physical media, there's still plenty. You're fucked because your government is evil and wants you living like you're a North Korean. Enjoy prison for "possessing illegal films"
>>214398298>private trackersinvite me then, bitchoh that's right.. you won'tyou're like some rich cunt who's all like "Don't like TSA screenings? lol just fly on private jets like I do"Oh gee why didn't I think of that
>>214403224a shitty rip would be rejected by the scene. its a competition. get it out first, right, and good.
>>214403373percentagewise, just as many private trackers have folded as public. the difference is when a private tracker folds, they don't throw up a forever "fuck you" aggregator page.
>>214396793when you go beyond modern slop and popular classic movies, yeah it can get difficult. I watch a lot of 50s/60s historical movies and the more obscure titles, typically euro ones, are hard to find in decent quality. rutracker unironically has a lot of old stuff that even my private trackers don't have. and a lot of rips of old movies are garbage, lately I'll just download the full DVD/bluray files and do the ripping myself.
>>214397184>>214397590>>214398032>>214399150He learned a new word, cute!
>>214403737>Scene standardsNo such standards exist on cinemageddon far as I can tell.I've downloaded many a shittily-done encode with the x264-CG tag in the filename.But it's really only just with older, unpopular, obscure, hardly-made-it-past VHS release or DVD type shit.Luckily blu-rays are progressive scantype and more idiot-proof for rookie encoders to process without fucking it up too bad.
>>214402781Laserdisc has some gems too. But I really worry about how fragile those are.
>>214404009private trackers aren't scene.
>wahh wahh here are all the reasons torrent bad!I pay for a real seedbox, your problems do not apply to me. we are not the same.
Torrents are chud-pilled, sorry
>>214404506>paying to pirate
also go check out your public library. they almost certainly have a DVD section filled to the tits with old media you can rip before returning. you youngins got no pluck I tell ya.
>>214396770Physical media is based. Want. Fuck stresming and pricking around trying to find something and when you do some cunt has stuck arabic sutitles on the rip
>>214404536no I'm paying for a server located in a legally privileged location and a sysadmin to deal with it for me so I don't have to do it in my basement for roughly the same amount of cost in effort and power. I know it's hard for you to tell the difference with your limited number of brain cells.
>>214404579>paying to have someone pirate for you
>>214404579sounds like your betting on fuck all and nothing and have given your payment details to brown people
>>214404547not anymore, they mostly got rid of it all here
>>214396770>Anyone else notice that it's getting harder and harder to find torrents of things you need?Not really, no. I use private torrents.
>>214404604? you still have to operate the torrenting software>>214404612>he doesn't know how to set up payment services for untrusted transactionsbut nah it's a white country you're retarded and jelly and poor
>>214404675hate to break it to you but you are also paying to pirate, you just pay in time and your energy bill.
jesus i knew seedboxers were stupid faggots but goddamnyou are paying someone essentially to tell them to pirate things for you.
>>214398181>Rarbg had great quality and well seeded classic films. Now it is gonehttps://rarbgdump.com/
>>214404753>hurfdurf u ned 2 pay 4 internet 2
>>214404766>he doesn't know a seedbox is just a user account on a server running web access torrent clients or shell operated clients via sshyou could do the same thing with a rented server or VPS or whatever but again I'm not trying to sysadmin or network engineer shit unless I'm being paid for it, that's crazy talk.
>>214404736>t. another retarded jeet getting scammed by a another retarded jeet like a subhuman caterpillar of jeets scammers with their faces crammed up each others smelly asses
>>214404800feel free to explain the functional difference between texting someone to pirate things for you and paying for a seedbox. you can't.
>>214404781your internet, your time, your hardware, your power bill, the opportunity cost of spending your time messing with a personal seedbox instead of using that same time and energy for profit or fun. but sure be flippant you are very smart and optimal.

>>214404900I don't even know what you're trying to split hairs about now
>>214404914yes. you're paying for literally nothing.
>>214404931its mostly that you're paying for absolutely nothing at all, and acting smug about it.
>>214404753>paying to pirate
>>214404800
>>214404944he's tarded Don't worry, scrote. There are plenty of 'tards out there living really kick-ass lives. My first wife was 'tarded. She's a pilot now

>>214405000yes, when people are correct, its impossible to get them to accept faulty reasoning.

>>214405000You pay money to engage in an activity whose whole purpose is to not pay. No amount of mental gymnastics will ever not make you brown and retarded.

>>214405078>oh right i forgot all the private trackers that allow new members with no information at all.I've been a member for years, but there's some trackers that allow new members. All I had to do was answer some questions to prove I could seed torrents and now I'm swimming in kino.

>>214396880I look like this and do this
>>214396770For torrents, it's because people don't seed. I've found that private trackers are better than public ones for this, but it's still difficult to find some things. Sometimes I resort to open directory searches and sites like this>https://filepursuit.com/

>>214406014everytime i tried a private tracker, they often had less overall torrents than the mainstream torrent website markets, and i got cutoff quickly every-single-time, because i would torrent 1-2 things max, get no seeding action (because i live in australia), then get cutoff. After one of you spergs said to;>just waste your HDD space torrenting something popular and seed thatI did that, and got no seeds, because its popular so lots of people were seeding it, and it was a huge file too, so i got cutoff very quickly there.Private trackers are a shitty meme sorry.
>>214399661Not offically a torrent site so he isnt wrong.
>>214406113you were supposed to get it off a public tracker then seed it on a private, but either way its bullshit. private trackers are either supported by seedboxes or dying a slow death.
>>214406113I've only tried torrentleech, where you can either seed to a ratio of 1:1 or seed for 10 days. I rarely get any leeches connecting, so I just seed for 10 days. Sometimes it's a pain in the arse, but for most things I just rename the files and point the client to those.

>>214408545I'm working at a grocery store right now, but this is my plan. I'm saving up to open my own torrent video store. Going torrent every movie I can find, put it in a case, open up a shop, provide it for free (so I don't get sued), and accept crypto donations. On the side, I'm going to watch fucking every movie in existence like Tarantino did and make a godtier indie flick and launch a director career. Have about $7,500 saved up so far, and I'm only 31.
