How do I get back into torrent ?

You should probably just die of old age or something man. How beta are you to be on Jow Forums and claim to be an old man.

Thanks for your input, your point of view on my way to ask something here really means a lot to me.

Take a random shitty computer, or buy rpi, and add as much storage as you can. Install a really lightweight Linux distro and transmission daemon. Install transmission remote on phone and main computer. Get a friend to invite you to a tracker or lurk /ptg/ to find trackers with open sign ups. When you download a torrent, open it in transmission remote connected to your daemon. After it's done downloading, copy the data to your main machine when it's a program or stream it when it's media. Enjoy having a seedbox and never worrying about ratio and hit n runs, etc.

Wow an actual, complete, argumented comment !
Thank you very much m8 !

About /ptg/ I'm not really into the concept, it perverts the spirit of "share" that torrent was built on.

I don’t know what it is about deluge, but it just runs better for me than utorrent. I seem to get more connections and better speeds. Shit just works.

Torrenting - the sensible way:

- Torrent client does not matter.

- Get your games and movies from rutracker.org. Low probability that your stuff gets tracked. Use google translate if needed. Anime from nyaa.pantsu.cat (old ones) or directly from the horriblesubs website (new releases)

- Stay away from the private trackers, find something less useless to obsess about instead.

- For music or stuff you cant find elsewhere, rather use OCHs with jdownloader. There are some great websites with very comprehensive listings out there.

I'll shill for Deluge. It's probably the best client I've used that works perfectly in every way I need it to.

I'm a fellow old dude (36) so we gotta look out for each other. I'm not a big fan of /ptg/ either but that's because they go out of their way to shit on IPTorrents, which is the only tracker I really use anymore since it always has everything I want. Apparently it's "shitty" because they give you the option to buy upload credit to boost your ratio. It doesn't bother me because everything always has plenty of seeds anyway, but at least people with shitty internet and capped bandwidth still have the chance to download some stuff without getting banned for not seeding. For those people, they get to choose: pay their ISP for bandwidth overages from seeding, pay a random third party for a seedbox, or pay money that supports the tracker to help pay for server costs and shit, with the third option often being the cheapest too.

Deluge is great, the only people who shit on it are qBitorrent autists who care about 20 extra MiB of RAM.

1. Install qBitorrent and it's search plugins. Custom plugins are available for some private trackers.
2. Enjoy.
