Oh my god, i think someone may have recommended this to me years ago and i just forgot... Thanks!

 

I'm getting back into torrenting and i have a bunch of YIFY, YTS, and RARBG torrents still leftover from back in the day. As the screenshot shows, most of their trackers are not working, i assume they went offline when the relevant websites went offline.

The DHT is carrying and will keep these in circulation, especially when a lot of search engines use the DHT; but a lot of them are still getting stuck, it would be better if the trackers worked.

Are there new ones that carry the torch? Do the successors to these release groups have their trackers too? I'm looking for YTS and RARBG especially but i'd welcome any good current tracker that helps people find my shit

Yeah they'll lawyer up, but only for themselves. They have no reason to to do anything that benefits the rest of us.

Maybe the torrenting community could see some legal benefits, but only if incentives align. Which they very well may not because Meta is not one of us and their interests don't really align with anyone else's.

"invest" implies that you could make your money back.

This is what i expect to see in a piracy community on Lemmy

I've been torrenting with VPNs for years and never understood how they work together. I just really wish i didn't have to do this, i already struggle enough without the added complexity
