Does anyone even use the bay anymore?

Does anyone even use the bay anymore?

No

I do, only for music though, not much but it's the only place I know of that has older musics.

Moms and people who don't know better sources.

u can get arrested because u r copying those floppies
stop doing it because it's not leg

It's a shadow of its former self, but I use it now that Kickass Torrents has died.

Wasn't this confirmed to be a honeypot for comcast and twc since it reopened?

I have to now that both bitgamer and blackcats have been taken down

I havent found any better site so yeah when Kickass closed im still here.

I use that, 1337x, and rarbg. Ratiocucking is idiotic and most of my torrents are anime from nyaa anyway.

You're a fucking idiot if you're still using it.

the only place i've heard this from is random people on Sup Forums like yourself with no sources

i use private trackers
much better tbqhfam

Even if this is true the only torrents that are ever risky are the ones for new media. No one gives two shits about you pirating last year's movies.

you wouldn't download a car

I used to use a site called mp3boo which had full albums but it got taken down a few months ago

i use it to download stuff from GoG.

not him but i recently legally acquired no country for old men and got a call from verizon the next day

We don't have much of an alternative when it comes to finding old games if steam doesn't have it and they don't sell it anywhere else

please tell me a better site for video games user

Yeah, Skydrow and RELOADED usually have links to other sites though but it's still good.
Just download the version from good members

igg?

Once in a while there's something old on it that isn't on any of the other easy to find places.
You wanna see something cool though?

Huh, apparently there's a porn star called Vidya

I never understood those clips at the beginning of movies.

If we had the chance, everyone would download a fucking car. I still don't know what point they were trying to make.

>there is an amazing private tracker for music
>there is an amazing private tracker for weaboo stuff
>there is an amazing private tracker for porn
>there is an amazing private tracker for hentai
>there is an amazing private tracker for television
>there is an amazing private tracker for movies
>there is an amazing private tracker for HD stuff

>there is no decent private tracker for video games

W-why?

Even though PB is fishy as fuck now i still trust it more for games than the first page of google results

we keep trying to build one (black cats, gazelle games) and it just keeps fucking up

They're trying to equate digital, basically infinite, goods with physical, finite goods. It didn't make sense back then, and it doesn't make sense now.

Vidya is an indian goddess

Is IGG safe? I've never gotten a comcast letter.

Yeah, katcr is down so TPB has been the catch-all.

No public tracker is safe unless you use a proxy, which is extremely safe.

Because the people that run them are incompetent whereas the people that run the other ones are very competent. Bitgamer was the last hope for a videogames private tracker and it shit itself.

I still use TPB for games, movies, and TV shows and my ISP never bothers me. I did use kat.cr for a while until they got shut down;

I know what you mean. A lot of those first page sites are so full of malware and popups its not funny. Even if you do manage to download a game it's a compressed version with bits missing.

I just downloaded oblivion and dark souls from there today

Ever since kickass got shut down that's where I go to.
There's not much left is there? All I see are private torrents

(;_;)7

igg is decent if you're not pirating the major releases since no one cares about pirating indie trash
any variation of kat is a honeypot 100%, so is tpb these days
rutracker is supposed to still be fine though because of based ruskies

>you need an account to use pirate bay.
>you need to register an email.
Lol fine sure.
>give us your credit card number
Holy shit there are people that are dumb enough to give THE PIRATE BAY your credit card number.
Welp looks like it's time to go private. I knew this day would come, i've just been putting it off as long as possible due to laziness.

If you dont mind the hassle of using google translate to create an account rutracker is a damn fine public tracker site.

isohunt for games
sukebei nyaa for hentai

You're more likely to get caught trying to download non pornographic movies and songs anyway

Is there a good site for ebooks

>you need an account to use pirate bay.
>you need to register an email.
What the living fuck are you talking about? You dont need to do either of those to download shit

Lel just use a vpn

What the fuck are you talking about?

yup for most games, movies, music and books
living in Eastern Europe can be chill sometimes
wut, you don't need an account on piratebay

>torrents
>ever
Nothing of value was lost

Not really to my knowledge
You can usually find some EPUB or PDF versions on google though unless its an obscure book

No I can confirm what he said, idk if the site was taken over for a time or what but I was also asked to do that

I like how the govt spent the time to put the KAT logo in the middle of all that seized shit.

library genesis and ftp irc channels

Seriously. It costs 1$ to get a vpn for 3 days which is enough for most of your download needs. I spend more than that on a fucking bar of chocolate I randomly felt like buying.

well there's a difference between being asked and having to do it
I use it almost everyday I never had a pop up message like that

>I clicked on an ad and a pop up tried to get my info
Cool story bro

This.

>a government official was paid money to put the logo in
Do you think they used photoshop or MS paint?

oh yeah I just remember I use AdBlcok

Let me rephrase. I was told to sign up and enter my credit card or I couldnt download the torrent.

My dad would rip movies and put them on to dvds for me when I was younger and these ads always played on a stolen copy of Castle of Cagliostro

No you weren't

I bet you clicked the big fake DOWNLOAD button instead of the Torrent button you fucking idiot.

i haven't pirated in awhile and i'm out of the loop for things and i got a few questions
apparently it's a lot more risky to pirate things and i need a private something, what's the deal with this?
also, i saw a torrent client with a built-in search engine, which one is that?
one last thing, how good or bad is utorrent 2.2.1, which is what i used last?

a mirror version yes
>Inb4 the authorities are right at my door
i've been using it since the fucking standard version was blocked about 2-3 years ago in my shit country, nothing happened

You probably ended up on a clone site or something.
There were a few floating around for a while, that were basically just mirrors but with scammy shit inserted.
Probably still are, but if you aren't retarded they're so easy to avoid I haven't noticed them.

Whatever you say user

>not using peerblock

lmaoing @ ur pirating skillz

You can see how the background is a slightly different color than the rest of the page.

Definitely MS Paint.

I still use utorrent 2.2.1.

fucking kek

Thats a meme user
I have been downloading consistently from new shows to movies to vidya for years and have never gotten a single email about it
Just go download some shit and if someone even sends you an email (they wont) print it out and wipe your ass with it because all they can basically say is stop
uTorrent is fine despite Sup Forums shitposting
Its simple and enough for a novice to use easily

After all these faggots started shouting NUH UH I looked it up and youre right.
Most likely they took over the old .se URL which is what I had bookmarked so thats how it happened.

Yes.
Nothing wrong with it.

enjoy your broken magnet links
enjoy searching for nodes

utorrent 2.2.1 is still the best thing out there that you can get
it actually WORKS unlike majority of the opensource torrent clients out there

Does ut221 have a functioning RSS downloader? I couldn't get it to work so I decided to simply use QB for public trackers and RSS and ut221 for private trackers.

>WinFags
Is there a single more pretentious and ridiculous board on this site than Sup Forums? They argue over fucking apples and oranges that do the same thing in the same exact way but only the hivemind agreed upon meme programs are accepted
I truly despire that place

thanks friends

Is this porn?

Kickass Torrents.

No, just an edited loop

You console warring faggot, I'm taking about Sup Forums acting like windows is the spawn of satan.

>tfw you don't live in a 3rd world shithole that has to worry about piracy

Blackcats was very good. Now it's very dead.

And I'm talking about Sup Forums acting like sony is the spawn of satan.
You're not too bright, huh? Maybe that's why you see nothing wrong with windows, faggot.

nice 7

...

steam

I use ipt-update for almost everything now.

haven't pirated in forever.
pretty sure im on some sort of watch list because I got almost immediate emails from my ISP telling me to stop.
and idk how to into vpn

>what is rutracker

I use IPT for most things. Their collection is getting pretty large in terms of sheer number of seeded torrents.

I try a Kickass mirror if I don't find what I'm looking for, and lastly go to TPB if I'm desperate.

Public trackers are such a frenzy of advertizement though. And though my adblocker catches 95% of it, it's still annoying.

I use the search function within qbittorrent.

>There's a Vidya pt
WHERE

I'm new to this and barely understand how to do this.
Any advice in downloading Photoshop and Microsoft office?
I only have one computer and cant afford buying another one.

He just said there isn't one.
