Whenever thepiratebay goes down, it is a disaster for me to find anything online. The megathread is next to useless, taking me to all these crazy sites that don’t have a torrent option. Instead, they have individual episode downloads of 600 episode TV series. And to access each individual episode, I have to click on a mirror that takes me elsewhere. Then, from that site, I have to click on something that takes me to another site. Then, I have to wait 10 seconds, then I have to confirm the download, then it asks me if I want to pay for premium, then it takes 30 minutes to download one episode.
I’m not actually sure what the community’s goal is here. To me, it seems like the entire idea of piracy will go down if thepiratebay ever goes permanently down because this giant “community resource” we have is an utter cluster, with so much garbage shoved in it.
Outside of thepiratebay, how do you guys effectively perform any of the tasks one would want to do on a place like this?
Hey props to you for acknowledging it, we all have our moments!
I definitely feel you on how frustrating it can be sometimes to access information in the piracy community, both due to potential legal repercussions and to a certain insularity. Pirates don’t always want to share the cool new thing, because sometimes when too many people start knowing about the cool new thing, corporations will also learn about the cool new thing and want to shut it down.
1337x.to has been my go-to for a while, I rarely fail to find what I’m looking for there!
Echoing what this person said! ^
You essentially said “this”, but with more words. Please add more to the discussion by sharing your thoughts on what he said instead of echoing.
Your policing of conversation isn’t really adding to the discussion either, is it? You could just downvote, or better yet, ignore it and move on.
You’re right; I deserve the downvote.
