P2P is great because when I’m using qBittorrent I can see all the suckers who are still using utorrent lol
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.
Still open? Links?
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?
its an anonymizing tool like tor, but i2p supports bittorrent while tor does not. theirs also .i2p site like tor .onion sites. also i2p is peer to peer while tor is volunteer run with the tor project managing the network.
I still miss Audiogalaxy and Songbird. The latter in particular helped me find so much awesome music. Nothing I've seen since comes close.
I'm missing Audiogalaxy too. Met so many people there who opened my ears.
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.
They’re going hard still
Which client would one use for Emule nowadays?
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)
usenet for bulk current media, occasionally torrents for niche stuff, but now that rarbg is gone I'm going to have to find a new tracker. I use a seedbox for most torrent activity these days as well, too risky with ISPs clamping down.
Once upon a time I used DC++ for things, but that was more than a decade ago and the last time I tried it all the severs seems to be in eastern eu countries and very shady. If anyone knows a good DC++ server I'd love to hear more.
