Ask a Pirate: What p2p networks do you use in 2023? (vlemmy.net)

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?

usenet for bulk current media, occasionally torrents for niche stuff, but now that rarbg is gone I'm going to have to find a new tracker. I use a seedbox for most torrent activity these days as well, too risky with ISPs clamping down.

Once upon a time I used DC++ for things, but that was more than a decade ago and the last time I tried it all the severs seems to be in eastern eu countries and very shady. If anyone knows a good DC++ server I'd love to hear more.

rarbg is gone

Is it? I heard that it was going down, however when i visit the site it still seems up, i can still get torrents, and all that. What's going on?
