    I just seed everything until it lags out my torrent client or a hard drive dies or whatever else fucks up my setup. Can't stand streaming piracy tbh, I have the itch to collect (though I'm not someone who downloads oodles of stuff I have no intention of consooming)

    I seed anything I download that has less than 10 seeders at the time of downloading. Sometimes I clean it out and get rid of things that have risen, sometimes I'm the only one keeping a seed alive. Unfortunately I've had to restart the process because one housemate got super angry with me for seeding, and then restart it again because my computer bricked.

    RIP old torrent of Death Bed: The Bed That Eats. Perhaps I will find you again.

      yo I might have that movie... I used to at least lemme see. Or was that specific torrent of it special?

      Edit: aww guess not. must have lost it in a hard drive crash (my old setup was a mess. raid5 with used drives from a server farm)

        It was the only one I could find. I'm happy being the only seed for it.

      Meanwhile I have purchased with real money every DLC for Sims 4 and 3, not the mountain of sims store content for 3 though I WILL be pirating that bit because that shit is insane. I am a cuck and a fool.

      I did get the Sims 2 Compelte for free... because EA was giving it away

          All three of 2, 3, and 4 have things that are good about them that the other games dont do as well I feel. But yeah I have the most fun with 4. Group convos alone are a huge feature for me.

    A bunch of 3d movies, audiobooks (the person posting about the lack of left content on audiobookbay is 100% correct), and a bunch of old game collections (various atari systems, colecovision, TurboGrafx).

    The only time I remove stuff from seeding is if I run into disk space issues, but largely that means "time to buy more hard drives" in reality.

      Is there a good place to find them? My searches on 1337x and the various torrent aggregators have been pretty unsuccessful. :(

        audiobookbay. They don't have enough lefty nonfiction and too much erotica, but there's a user named daenigma who I've seen upload and seed a lot of communist and anarchist books. Mostly radlib stuff though.

          Cheers. I was at some stage gonna do some readings for lefty books that didn't have accessible audio forms, but the place I'm at is a little loud.

        Myanonamouse has open signups every weekend. They have almost everything and are the probably the most “chill” private tracker.

    I stopped downloading like 10 years ago once piracy streaming sites fired up all over the place. Just get a decent ad blocking extension and watch whatever you want without downloading a thing. I stream all my sports, movies, TV, etc. No cable or subscriptions for years.

        The one I use has a ton of content from other countries if that's what you mean. If you mean less network-y or budget-heavy then I can't say for sure. I do mostly consume the 'prestige dramas' or whatever that the big streaming platforms release.

      That works well for movies and visual media for sure. Music streaming is absolutely a viable thing, but I still download a FUCKTON of music onto my phone (mobile soulseek client and utorrent FTW) so I always have the files.

      Just me tho. This a just a dumb meme, not throwing any shade.

    I hate pirating software these days. Like 90% of shit outside of games are full of viruses (“oh you want to torrent this obscure program that no one else is seeding? Too bad, it’s a crypto miner!!”). And the games are full of deranged programmers who hate each other, shitty forum navigation, and Linux file management is convoluted that I need to search up “[game] file location Linux” for every single game because I have no idea where anything is. I thought Linux pirating would be easier but it seems like it’s encouraging me to just buy the game to skip all this nonsense

      You use Lutris? After getting the hang of pirating things on linux its not too bad. I'd say I get 80% of games working and I've got have well over 100.

        Nah I’ve been trying to get creamapi or the Linux equivalent of it (forgot the name) to work but it was just a bit too confusing. Maybe I’m just dumb

          Give Lutris a try, It's really easy you just have to target the .exe and tell it to run with wine. Make sure to use a GE-proton runner for anything with modern graphics.

            Most of the games I want to play, I’ve already bought years ago on steam. Though I’ll check out Lutris whenever I want to demo stuff. But do you know if creamapi works for Linux, or at least the ones running through proton?

      Is it not /usr/bin?

      /usr/bin, /bin and /sbin are the program\ files, program\ files(x86) and system32 of Linux.

          Yeah but most people don’t have a big fucker $PATH with all those.

          Of course there might be a flatpack that puts shit somewhere not in $PATH.

            Yeah but most people don’t have a big fucker $PATH with all those.

            That manpage just describes the whole system layout, not just locations for binaries that are included in $PATH

              i know but i didn't think mine would have all those.

              turns out i have /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games, so almost everything.

              working on embedded systems warps the ol' brain.
