I hate that everything now is a subscription service instead of buying it and do whatever you want.

    Old school pirating or new school? Last time I remember pirates was like… Napster, Limewire, Kazaa… Then went to TPB before it got raided like 8 times… What’s the current? Is it still torrenting with proxies?

      I just got my automated pirating machine set up!

      Here’s the wiki for the *arr apps!

      • Radarr for movies
      • Sonarr for TV shows
      • Prowlarr for index management
      • Optional Doplarr Discord Bot for requests

      Set up your profiles for Radarr/Sonarr to pick the quality of release you want (1080p, min/max file size, etc)

      Feed Radarr/Sonarr your qbittorrent info, nzbget & Usenet info

      They will automatically search the indexes (I use 1337x for torrents & nzbgeek for Usenet) for the files that fit your parameters, download it, and organize it.

      All you have to do is point Plex at the output folders and BAM, automated pirating.

      I even took it a step further and set up Doplarr - a Discord bot that handles requests. Now friends/family can ping the bot with their movie/show requests and it’ll sync up to Radarr/Sonarr and add their requests!

      Oh, the high seas are very, very busy these days. Still a bit difficult for the non technical user, but there is buried treasure out there.

      New skool is to use automation tools to grab and manage your media. You can still use torrenting but IMO using usenet is more reliable and doesn’t flag your ISP. I highly recommend anyone pirating to use 'arrs https://wiki.servarr.com/

        Yes but with usenet you need to pay a monthly fee for a provider (generally) and a then the same for an index to find the content.

        Also the selection is a lot smaller. IMHO a better solution is using realdebrid if you’re okay with paying already.

          Yeah I can’t argue with the usenet fees but all three of my index sites I’ve had no issues with their free version so long as you do go wild and download ten terabytes in a night. I’ve actually had better luck with the selection compared to torrenting, pretty much is there in all of the popular resolutions. The only thing I have finding is some of the obscure adult swim shows but I can’t find them on my private trackers either.
