At a certain age, one out of three men can't keep their DVI cable plugged in properly
Didn't try it for software, only Movies, Shows, Games, Audiobooks
I am on houseofusenet and the "should not be named" partner indexer that allows API access for *arr Software. Also i have drunkenslug
I rarely search for something manually, only games as there is no "gamearr" or something like that.
I am with you here when it comes to older stuff
I have the fortune to be of the "Lan-party" generation and still have a big group of people i know keep ageold games, movies, etc. So if i need something i can usually get it from them... then it's a matter of VPN into their network and use ftp.
But usually i don't really look for old stuff. But thats a "me" thing. I know this will not work for everyone... also, yeah despite the retention being "only" 13 years, i do find stuff that got reupload quite usually.
I am searching for very old audiobooks and i still find most of them on usenet despite some of them being well over 20 years old now.
Speed is unfathomably fast though. I have a 1gbit/s connection at home and i can download with ~900 mbit/s through the VPN
You can come over to https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/usenet_invites and post a [W] for any indexer (popular ones are DrunkenSlug)
Otherwise if you want content in german language you can look up houseofusenet and see if you can register there.
The point is that you can download stuff without uploading it at the same time.
I don't have to share copyrighted material in order to download it. That's the big advantage.
I personally ditched torrenting completly. Haven't touched a torrent in literal years.
Usenet is the way for me. Still using via Mullvad nonetheless.
Danke, und gerne
Die ganzen reports landen ja unter anderem auch bei mir... Es ist sehr ermüdend...
