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?
I’ve torrented for years, but i’m trying to diversify. Soulseek works perfectly except my VPN makes it hard for people to download from me, and i’m currently trying to get eMule community version to work but it’s giving me a few bugs. So haven’t had the best results so far
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.
I still miss Audiogalaxy and Songbird. The latter in particular helped me find so much awesome music. Nothing I’ve seen since comes close.
P2P is great because when I’m using qBittorrent I can see all the suckers who are still using utorrent lol
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.
