Was recovering an old virtual machine onto a new box and was shocked to see 9,999, I presume thats an upper limit in the UI. Dune (2021) for those curious
Now wheres my crossbones flag?
Sir, are you the Pirate Bay? I feel like you’re single-handedly keeping a tracker alive.
I think you’re doing my part too
What a guy!
this must be something I’m too usenet to understand
kidding of course, well done and thank you for your service
Actually if you would be so kind, what is the rundown of Usenet? I’ve searched a bit but been busy to really sit down on it, should I consider it being just a side thing (for now)?
Usenet is here to stay, it is similar as if you pay for vip in order to be able to leech without seeding. This makes automated pirating legal in some countries (like mine) since only doing direct downloads from your usenet provider. The usenet provider have servers which exchange bits of data with IDs similar like we do with torrenting. As a user, you now go to a indexer, who gives you a map, with which bits of data you can construct your file. So you then download each bit directly and put everything together and are rewarded with a normal file. Until now I have found every release which is also in predb using the private indexers I have.
I signed up for usenet recently but couldn’t really find anything worthwhile. How do you find good stuff?
Thank you very much, until I start getting thin on content from public trackers I think I’ll stick to torrents, especially if the bar of entry is lower, I’m in a good situation to seed so I might as well bring that to others
I am curious over the legality, is it in a way that the provider is storing the whole file just obfuscated? My (rather poor) understanding is that torrents work because the file pieces are distributed
Any Usenet providers and indexers you’d recommend? I tried it a few months ago but couldn’t quite wrap my head around how to use it. (I’m technically literate, but Usenet was completely foreign to me until a few months ago.)
There’s honor amoung thieves and you have most of it.
