TLDR: Download your content offline before it gets lost forever.
From now on you should never trust online hosting, I started seeing a lot of piracy sources( Streaming websites, torrent indexes,… Etc) get shut down.
So I highly recommend for all pirates to download anything they want offline to reuse and don’t trust keeping it online, sadly for me, a lot of material had been lost as there is almost no online service or piracy service has it( I am talking about material that is 5-10 years old.).
I know that this is not the first time piracy websites/hosts gets taken down but this time feels different as it became aggressive and I feel that in the next months a considerable amount of content are going to be lost.
Everybody should look into hardlinks and cross-seeding. By today’s standards, it’s painless and very unlikely to ever take up your bandwith
and very unlikely to ever take up your bandwith
Are you sure about that? Not all of us have fiber, you know. For instance, I have like 175 Mbps down, but only like either 2 or 10 Mbps up. (I can’t remember which. Lol.)
In my case, I’m always seeding hundreds of torrents…yet my upload rarely goes above 1 or maaaybe 2 Mbps. Could just be luck, but you can always throttle the speeds if you need to
Exactly, which is why I
-
Use a VPN server specifically configured for P2P,
-
Use port forwarding on said server,
-
Only have three torrents active at a time so as not to divide my bandwidth too much, and
-
Typically seed for weeks at a time so as to give the ratio time to build at such low speeds. (I typically try to seed up to 10.0x, but you know, with old seeds, that’s not always possible to do even with weeks of seeding. :) )
Seeding in this way may not be very effective, but it makes it at least feasible.
