soulseek, fopnu, emule, dc++. For old/rare content, emule is the best.
Synology's Download Station introduced me to emule. I don't think there's a more polished client for it than DS.
Which client would one use for Emule nowadays?
for windows I recommend community version (November 2021). For Mac, aMule 2.3.3 (February 2021) and for GNU/Linux, mldonkey 3.1.7 (July 2020)
Any specific server you recommend? And is there anything on windows like mldonkey where you can search call the servers at once?
Yeah, seriously, the most updated one for Linux had the last release a few years ago.
ive been experimenting with I2P with tracker2.postman.i2p
Just on your niche stuff like 1930s movies, have you checked Internet Archive? I’ve been surprised at some of the stuff I’ve found.
usenet for bulk current media, occasionally torrents for niche stuff, but now that rarbg is gone I'm going to have to find a new tracker. I use a seedbox for most torrent activity these days as well, too risky with ISPs clamping down.
Once upon a time I used DC++ for things, but that was more than a decade ago and the last time I tried it all the severs seems to be in eastern eu countries and very shady. If anyone knows a good DC++ server I'd love to hear more.
rarbg is gone
Is it? I heard that it was going down, however when i visit the site it still seems up, i can still get torrents, and all that. What's going on?
You are visiting a fake one then, rarbg is gone for good.
Real one is: https://rarbg.to/
Why did it go down? What happened?
If you open the website, it's written right there.
For the lazy people.
Hello guys,
We would like to inform you that we have decided to shut down our site. The past 2 years have been very difficult for us - some of the people in our team died due to covid complications, others still suffer the side effects of it - not being able to work at all. Some are also fighting the war in Europe - ON BOTH SIDES. Also, the power price increase in data centers in Europe hit us pretty hard. Inflation makes our daily expenses impossible to bare.
Therefore we can no longer run this site without massive expenses that we can no longer cover out of pocket. After an unanimous vote we've decided that we can no longer do it.
We are sorry :(
Bye
Ah I see thanks! The website was not loading for me

Ya, the original site is gone. There are mirrors cropping up based on a db dump of some kind, but the old site is gone.
Between RARBG shutting down, and Reddit killing off their API, June represented some big changes in my Internet diet.
there are a few very out of date copies of the site afaik, but rarbg.to went down as of 1st this month i think?
BitTorrent is alive and well lol, and some of the top tier private sites opened their doors this past year which has been a nice change.
Still open? Links?
BitTorrent, ed2k/kad, Usenet, IPFS
So then the next question is, how do you pirate from IPFS?
libgen has IPFS. z-library also has an IPFS mirror. Basically it is no different from other networks, you obtain the identifier, add it to the client, and wait. You can also retrieve the content via web gateways. It may take a few F5 but it will work as long as there is one seeder in the open sea.
My preferred network is ed2k/kad, but for new things bittorrent and then seed to both networks through mldonkey.
I’ve given up on p2p. Too much risk and threatening letters from my ISP.
I made the switch to Usenet and private NZB trackers years ago and it has been great. Sometimes it may take a while to locate more obscure stuff, but eventually things show up. Even obscure made for tv movies from the early 1980s.
Honestly a vpn negates the risk of letters from your ISP, I’ve gotta bother to find another decent one now though since mullvad removed port forwarding.
PTP and BTN are good for movies and TV. BHD and BLU can fill in the gaps. I don’t think it’s worth it to pirate music or software.
Software could have trojans. But why not music?
I recently started using All Debrid but been using RPnet for years with no issues then look for the links in Forums or get the torrent links from different sites and upload the links to RPnet for them to get the content and when they're ready for me to download I just get from their site.
I still miss Audiogalaxy and Songbird. The latter in particular helped me find so much awesome music. Nothing I've seen since comes close.
