stop manually browsing torrent sites! You're wasting your time.
Download qBittorrent. Download Jackett. Configure Jackett to work inside qBittorrent. You now have a way to search hundreds of trackers all at once within seconds and find literally anything you want.
Google searches show the DMCA takedown notices that list the sites that illegally stream content. It seems to me that if an interested party were to search for something on google and happened to see the DMCA take down notice, they might peruse that takedown request and see a number of sites that might illegally host such copyrighted content - so they know what sites to avoid of course.

If you are looking for German (or German + English dual language) content it can be very hard to find stuff on public torrent trackers and it's pretty hard to get onto private German trackers - but don't worry, there is a solution:
Usenet and the indexer sceneNZBs.com that specialises in German releases have got you covered!
If you want to automate the search for German Dual Language content using Radarr/Sonarr I made a guide (that also works for torrents too): https://github.com/PCJones/radarr-sonarr-german-dual-language
Docker, if you can run it on your hardware (either your normal system or on dedicated hardware) is a Swiss army knife that can help level up your acquisitions, and provides you with an isolated application environment if you don't want to install the applications directly to your device. For media specifically, there is a suite of applications under the same *arr naming scheme that allows you to index, monitor for releases of, and acquire different television shows, movies, music, and books.
Some container maintainers build in different capabilities into their torrent client containers, such as Binhex's qBittorrent and Deluge applications, that have VPN connectivity built in, so any network traffic running through that container will automatically use your VPN provider's WireGuard or OpenVPN capabilities, depending on who you use. Once you have that running and your tags tuned in the *arr apps, you have a headless, mostly independent machine constantly working on acquiring and upgrading your media.
Sidenote: the *arr apps can be controlled by mobile apps like LunaSea on iOS, and nzb360 on Android. The latter can also integrate with your torrent clients.
Yeah, setting up the Servarrs (Lidarr/Radarr/Sonarr + Prowlarr) along with your bt client, then trawling opensignups to get onto private torrent sites.
IPv6 torrenting for the most part goes unchecked by the companies who send threat letters to your ISP. I have a US seedbox which doesn’t have IPv4 and it’s been working great with a lot of public torrents
SlavArt Revolt bots are THE WAY to go for high quality music from almost any service
Usenet is worth every penny
Get into private trackers if you can and then you won't have to worry much about any of this.
piracy is a latter.
at the bottom there is the person getting a pirated ware physically from someone who copied it.
then steps later there is rapidshare or whatever filehosters still exist.
more steps up are public torrents and trackers.
then there is forums that use a variety of sharing technologies like (private) torrent or hosters.
nzb is next.
then there is irc - which at best is linked to some of the outer ring ftp servers.
ftp servers run by currygroups is next. and they leech from
the core of scene ftp servers.
sure i missed exotic outlets of the piracy latter like ondemandpiracystreaming, ssd-by-snailmail and so on.. we all agree vpn is key. i think irc always has worked better than torrent ever and being easier to access thab nzbs.
You can use IRC to pirate ebooks that you won't be able to find on torrent sites.
Yandex is currently the best search engine for pirate stuff. You might need to change the language setting to only show english results, tho, as it gives preference to russian stuff.
If you're on Windows, you can block any address "forever" by running Notepad as an admin and opening the file C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
0.0.0.0 www.whatever.com will completely block that domain. It won't block www.whatever.co.uk or whatever.com, so you'll have to add one line for each top level domain. It's great for blocking the worst ad networks (the ones that leave 6 clickjacks per page)I cannot afford a vpn what do you recommend?
Go through plex. Pay some guy to do your dirty work for you.
What I really want to know is what you guys use for getting torrents for entire seasons of shows, or even the entire show at once. I'm not new to piracy, I'm just new to talking about it with people.
Since not many seem to know about it. Plex_Debrid is an awesome program and works on more than just plex!
Anyone got good options for ebooks? Currently got calibre setup but only sourcing my books from libgen. Tried using jackett + readarr but the indexers didnt seem great... is it worth paying for indexers? Which ones?
