Doctor xNo

I actually spent time on ripping the ‘you wouldn’t steal…’ video from the first DVD that I had with it on it, just for the sheer irony. 😅

Yeah, I have a 4G CGNAT router, so I’m not only constantly hopping IP’s, I’m even sharing outside IPs with others simultaneously. I rarely see other torrents than mine, though it does happen. I honestly also had the bad content flag once for a file I certainly wouldn’t download. 😅

Just a fun FYI: If you want to know what can be seen torrenting from your current IP, visit https://iknowwhatyoudownload.com

It wil show you anything publicly trackable and occasionally assign tags according to your habits. You can also check anybody else’s IP you know of too, and look at what your IP-neighbors have on their name,…

Tags I’ve seen assigned are mostly ‘Porn’ if you torrent at least 1 known xxx and I even encountered a highlighted differently-colored tag twice in neigboring IP’s that clearly state it’s questionable content of subjects that did not go through the accepted minimum amount of birthdays yet.

Always an interesting tool to check when connected to a friend’s wifi or a public shared one… 😅

I find it weird how “Hey, I want you to listen/watch to what I made.” transformed into “Hey, you can only listen/watch if you paid for it.”

Guess I won’t then…

I dunno, my torrents are never corrupted or missing either abd download full speed for free. I see everything I want minutes after it airs, with FileBot sutomatically sorting everything for free all I need to do is open Kodi on my AndroidTV and select what I want to watch…

I see no need or afvantage of changing that to anything that costs me money to get the exact same result… 🤷‍♂️

I think it’s just peopke that did pay justifying themselves to themselves after the fact. There is no real advantage at all…

Sure, but with free alternative s in piracy, then paying for it again (however little) is taking steps direction streamingservices…

Why would one pay for pirated stuff (to people that didn’t even do any effort in creating the content or even in doing the pirating, nb), while it’s also freely available through different means that are just as easy and capable of being automated? 🤔

Anyway, the above is not arguing , the above is a genuine question.

Yeah, but unlike 20 years ago where it just came with email accounts, Newsgroups/Usenet aren’t/isn’t free anymore, right? Well, you have some free ones still, but they are filtered for piracy and alike, so rather unusable.

So, do you happen to know any free ones with everything still available or do you just pay for Usenet? If the latter, I don’t really see the difference with streamingservices (other than maybe having the file locally, but torrent does that for free too) and it takes away the whole reason of pirating stuff if you’re still gonna pay for it, imho. If the first though: Please share! 😅
