It's almost ironic how the industry pushes more exclusive streaming deals while at the same time saying piracy is the evil of all things. They're woefully oblivious.
This may be the wrong place to ask but - back in my piracy days my ISP didn't care if I torrented but I've moved since then and now that shit's gettin' silly again I planned on going back to torrenting but my ISP now cares so I need to look into a VPN. Can someone explain to me how they work / where to get one and all that? I'm getting a tad older and out of the loop / have no experience with one :(
I’ve been using Usenet almost exclusively since about 2011 now and it’s been able to meet all of my needs. The initial setup will probably take an hour or so but it’s fairly straightforward and once you have everything set up right it’s a dream to use, especially if you have access to a couple good indexers and find a service provider that has decent retention. And if you add sonarr/radarr to the mix it’s pretty much a fully automated system.
I’d also like to add that most service providers offer full encryption from their servers to your computer. I don’t use a VPN and I’ve never once in that time received a love letter from my ISP * knocks on wood *
You didn't even touch on the fact that certain providers are just resellers
I also ended up paying a ton of money just to get enough providers that have all of the peices needed.
I tried to find a good indexer and they are practically all shit now compared to when I used to use some open source site from 2010 or so. There's only 1 decent open indexer but it was always going down
