Are torrents only a boomer thing?

No

I couldn't get a search working on delude but I know 1337x is garbage

>if you don't use torrents you can't get stuff for free

The most zoomer thing I've ever heard.

limewire was fucking garbage, just tons of "weird al" remixes, viruses and it took ages to dl shit before you found out that you'd been bamboozled

zoomers only buy shit with their parents' credit card

i remember when i was a kid thinking my favorite songs were from the wrong artist because people on limewire would just post popular artists on random songs

when I was 13 I didn't understand torrents, so that was my main source of porn.

>using Windows
Are you retarded?

>they're okay with buying shit
no, they're ok with RENTING shit, spotify premium, netflix, they use uber and uber eats instead of driving some cheap car and cooking food
a bunch of cucks

Boomer here. Torrent was never good.

they liked centralized shit

Zoomer here. My normalfag friends torrent all the time. Sometimes they stream though

Zoomer. I torrent and host a PLEX server for the ones who want streaming services, making enough to pay for rent.

You can thank smartphones for making your peers into retards.

Maybe if you're retarded.

because they aren't nigger thieves? i guess.

Would you suggest a post systemd Linux instead?

The vast majority of Linux installs do not use systemd.

Nope, they're too dumb and lazy to even consider it.

What are you smoking? It's the other way around. Try finding stuff without it and say that again.

Most people who use Linux use Android, which does not use systemd as its init. You're delusional.

Get your shit bait out of here. You know full well that nobody here considers Android to be a true Linux install.

It is Linux. Just as much as, if not more than, GNU/Linux. Why do you disagree with that? You can't disagree with facts.

I don't even know how to not torrent shit. I don't know how netflix or amazon prime or that shit works. Do you need a lot of different subscriptions? Like Counterpart is Starz, does that mean it's not Netflix? Or what about Expanse, that's amazon or something right? Seems like it would add up. Then you've got all those weird youtube specials. Easier to just pirate.

Please explain to me how Android is not Linux.

zoomer here
i never buy stuff i always torrent
the only thing i have ever bought was minecraft because the cracked version can only connect to shitty cracked servers

No argument? Ok. Just admit that you're dumb as fuck and we can be on our way. Sound good, kid?

Who needs an argument against bad bait?

Zoomers Internet is shrinking all the time,
They don't even have laptops never mind being members of the desktop PC master race.
For them it's a handful of apps
Instagram, Snapchat and Facebook

You don't need to torrent anything when any media is available by typing (movie free online) into Bing

It used to be Google until they "fixed" it

>stream everything
The problem is even though they are playing they get a really limited service.
There's literally fuck all worth watching on them.
All streaming services for TV and movies are shit.

There is one left.

zoomer in 4 private trackers and rent a seedbox

How is it bait? The most popular OS that uses Linux is Android, and it isn't even close. How could you possibly dispute that?

I stopped using torrents when I ran out of time for watching anime

cringe and goypilled

>they're okay with their parents buying shit
Why would you bother with torrents if your parents have Netflix and other services where you can just click on the thing you want to watch and you get to watch it and your parent(s) get to pay for it?

I disagree. Torrents were good for a long time. Everything new quickly and readily available, well seeded, it worked great. But these days... it really has become pretty useless outside of private trackers. And that's got a barrier to entry which zoomers are unlikely to pass.

>Why would you bother with torrents if your parents have Netflix and other services where you can just click on the thing you want to watch and you get to watch it and your parent(s) get to pay for it?
Not everyone has an internet connection good enough for that.
This (>) does not mean what you think it means.

it's not, though. i use it all the time.

10-15 years ago could find literally anything you searched for, no matter how niche or obscure shit you were searching for
Now you can't find almost mainstream shit on public trakers
98% of today torrent sites are fake, filled with viruses or no more seeders

Tried to go back to strongdc or dc++ but olny old shit and few ppl

>it really has become pretty useless outside of private trackers

Private trackers are a waste of time for mentally disabled people too poor to horde physical goods.

90% of my boomer peers were fucking retards who you could caption with "Computah?" too, it seems to be a universal constant throughout generations.

They are still alive in the third world because people don't have money to pay for shit and nobody bothers to enforce copyright law in those countries.

IPFS-based filesharing software when?
Seriously, one of these days even though I suck at programming I may try to write it myself "in python", maybe that will encourage some real programmer to write a real alternative for it.

Daddy buys it, Netflix, Amazon prime and YouTube cover 40% of what people want to see, which is better than the 30% on TV so they're like whatever and don't bother

I only use torrents for movies. No way I'm pirating games. I'd rather have windows do it's thing than get my pc get compromised by anonymous.

Used BearShare and DC++
LimeWire was for plebs

the absolute state of Jow Forums

Know what, I somehow forgot how retarded my peers were, growing up. Not sure how. They drove me up the wall. Kids too dumb to select a TV input.

I have been always tech-savvy, downloading emulators and ROMs and that sort of things, but for real pirating will stop existing only because people are scared to do it or do not know how to do it.

The file share bots in private aol chatrooms. Downloading files off aol's juicey servers. And irc.

zoomies are streamtards

It's easier to stream everything now.

I only torrent vidya, for movies, music etc I just use streaming.

Zoomers like wasting their parents' money on stupid shit. They are also massive bootlickers. Why would they torrent?

what's that thing again? i remember using it

Yup, had an (otherwise smart) girl who was like
>whoa user where did you find this album!?
because it wasn't available for at YT/Spotify.

>install qbittorrent
>click magnet links
>wait
Wow so hard.

Everyone in my high school torrented to the point the school board did an assembly on it

All of the most popular minus maybe 2 or 3 do in fact use systemd.

At my college they send out repeated emails begging people not to torrent over public WiFi

*sips* yeah those were the days

>wait
Almost all clients support seq DL. Google how to do it (utorrent needs key combination when moving mouse, tricky on laptop, consider mouse or keyboard, deluge requires plugin, some support it naively). You still had to wait a few seconds for a few pieces to load, but it ain't bad.

Holy fuck user! Thank you, I didn't know about this. Seems to work okay and beats the shit out of logging onto VPN and going to various sites my ISP has fucking blocked.

when i was a teen in the 90's, torrenting was exclusive to young people because older persons where too technically inept to grasp the concept of it.

no it's vice versa: kids are too retarded to torrent and old people are technically superior to kids.

it's weird. i feel i'm the one that should be grumpy because i don't understand technology, not kids 10 years younger than me. the new generation of kids have become the old people of my youth

Maybe it's a US thing, but me and a bunch of my friends pirated shit since middle school. Primarily games and movies.

Please explain to me how you can fall for a bait that large

For most of history only a few % pirated.

Piracy became mainstream a few years ago, probably because media started to report on it.
But now it seems to be on its return,, which is probably the normal state of the universe.

Isn't that the case for everything vs. zoomfags.

Torrenting in the 90s?

I dont pirate cause i have money. I don't care if you pirate some AAA games but just don't fuck small dev teams. They are only ones that make good games so give them props.

i meant i was a teen in the 90's

No, they're just normalfags that don't know jackshit outside Google Playstore AND they don't live in a 2nd or 3rd world country, see Russians and Latin Americans.

I do buy some games after i pirate them if they are good enough.

This. This is why piracy is not a big deal

>just don't fuck small dev teams. They are only ones that make good games so give them props.
what are you on about, the vast majority of "indie" games are trash.

Finding free movie websites that actually have the movie plus navigating the pop up ads and shit is a skill that people no longer have. People really do just buy shit now because its easier and better.

I'm paranoid about running dubious code, even though I don't really need to be.

Either that or they're pajeet or ausfag

I still wonder why so little people use usenet nowadays. With Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr and SabNZBD it's fucking great. However private trackers still are a great addition for BD releases because of their strict quality control and it's better for older and rare stuff too.

>Domestic Girlfriend
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Why does the ride never end?! Just let that manga end already!

>they're ok with RENTING shit,
Which is even worse than buying things

i tried to download terminator 2 from limewire and got a horse porn video that i couldnt delete. had to reinstall windows

>using proprietary applications
fuck off nigger

Relatable, constantly scared of fucking up and ending up in prison for trying to download Chinese cartoons
