Yeah I might be a bit paranoid, on reddit usenet it is very common to refer to pirated content as linux distros. I edited it again, but with movies and tv shows. I guess I picked it as a habit with how frequently I use the reddit Usenet subreddit.

I do use usenet but dcma takedowns are very quick these days that new movies get removed very quickly, is IRC better in this aspect, also I don't have private tracker and public trackers are noticeably worse than usenet in terms of release groups.

    If you're seeing loads of takedowns, maybe it's time to look for a new provider, because from what I'm seeing everything is still healthy AF.

    It was a new movies that came out 5 days before I started to download it, in the end I had to go to torrrent galaxy and it only had one or two releases for it, good quality though. It would probably download okay if I put it on Radarr before it was released, so it would pick it up before it got taken down. I NTD block to complement my DMCA ultimate provider lets see how it goes. Funny enough I decided to go check IRC which I haven't opened for years and found the exact release that got taken down in Usenet.

    I used this (https://www.xdcc.eu/), I don't think they care about IRC as much as Usenet and torrent.

    Thanks, I used to pay for netflix, but no one in the household watched it, they wanted stuff that it's not on netflix or got removed. More streaming services popped up and it wasn't worth paying for it anymore. Even with three indexers lifetime and drunkenslug and an ultimate provider and two blocks. I feel over the years it is cheaper than netflix, the lifetimes will pay for themselves and the blocks don't expire. I only pay $2.5 per month for the ultimate. Netflix used to be good when it was the only streaming service and they weren't cancelling every good show.

    I hear you on that. I feel like the only thing I'm missing from my set-up is an IPTV subscription for live sport. With Usenet everyone is so forthcoming with information, so it's easy to quickly get to grips with everything, but with IPTV, I'm struggling to find a thread to pick at to allow me to unravel some knowledge. Especially with all the services being shut down at the moment.

    Never tried them, but they seem good. Reddit is full of iptv ads.

    You're an absolute legend. Thank you. I checked Reddit, but with all the ads, I quickly got overwhelmed. But this looks a fantastic starting point. Truly, thank you so so much.
