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?
P2P is great because when I’m using qBittorrent I can see all the suckers who are still using utorrent lol
soulseek, fopnu, emule, dc++. For old/rare content, emule is the best.
Wow, I haven’t used the old school P2P programs in over a decade. I honestly didn’t think they existed anymore for some reason.
for windows I recommend community version (November 2021). For Mac, aMule 2.3.3 (February 2021) and for GNU/Linux, mldonkey 3.1.7 (July 2020)
Any specific server you recommend? And is there anything on windows like mldonkey where you can search call the servers at once?
Just on your niche stuff like 1930s movies, have you checked Internet Archive? I’ve been surprised at some of the stuff I’ve found.
ive been experimenting with I2P with tracker2.postman.i2p
Is i2p just a privacy guard to torrent over? Or does it actually help one find content as well?
BitTorrent is alive and well lol, and some of the top tier private sites opened their doors this past year which has been a nice change.
