mossy log #3
houff. today sure was a day.
alright, so after a quick trip to the berries i planted (just checking on them, doesnt look like anything's disturbed them) and to some berry bushes, i left phantump and marsh at camp and headed off to eterna city with tee.
i stayed mostly out of sight until i was actually in the city, where i proceeded to use my baby powers (aided by tee, who's almost half my size, and he's gonna need re-stuffing soon) to ask where the local library was. found my way there, looked adorable, did some research. on dreams, mostly. and unova. and sinnoh, actually, since its been a while since i was last here.
went back to the chateau around 15 to check on marsh and phantump, they were doing fine. there was actually a small (baby?) ghastly hanging out with them, and phantump was ecstatic to have a fellow ghost friend. so, hell yeah. anyway, tee and i then went back to eterna, where i accidentally fell asleep in the library. in my defense, it was warm.
anyway, i didnt get to go looking for the mossy rock, so i guess that's tomorrow's mission. tee will have to watch the camp again, but that's fine. phantump appears to be introducing him to the ghastly it befriended, so he wont be bored out of his fluff tomorrow when we go hunting.
thats it for tonight. i may have had an accidental nap, but im still real tired. gnight.

This can lead to pages “missing” in the comic book because they are corrupt and cannot be opened in your CBR reader. Comic Books on usenet seem to get posted with PAR or SFV files fairly often, meaning you may end up with a corrupt download and not realize it or be able to repair it. My thoughts on this application are mixed. Mylar is a fork of Headphones that is dedicated to Comic Book downloads. You tell it what artists you like, or point it at your current library and it will use that information to download new releases and attempt to complete your library for you.Ĭheck out our Headphones Install, Configuration and Usage guide here! (Coming Soon!) Mylar Essentially it works the same way the TV series download tools work. Headphones is a download manager for Music. This is great if you only want quality downloads and don’t want Couch Potato constantly snatching every low bit rate CAM release that hits sites.Ĭheck out our Couch Potato Install, Configuration and Usage guide here! (Coming Soon!) Music and More Headphones You can additionally setup filters to only watch for specific resolutions and file types. ie: You can tell it movies you are interested before they even release to theaters (as long as their is an IMDB entry already) and it will automatically scan that content for you until it is released and snatched. Instead of automatically finding content for you, it is more generally used as a “new release search” tool.

NZB Drone also features an extremely slick and modern web interface that really helps bring the “PVR” feel to the application.Ĭheck out our NZB Drone Install, Configuration and Usage guide here! (Coming Soon!) Movie Downloads Couch Potatoĭue to the different nature of Film vs TV-Series, Couch Potato is a bit less automated in it’s downloading. A lot of people are making the switch over to NZB Drone due to it’s more active development and slightly better handling of failed downloads. NZB Drone is an alternative to Sick Beard with mostly the same feature set. Once installed you simply tell Sick Beard what shows you want to watch, or point it at your current Library to import the information itself.Ĭheck out our Sickbeard Drone Install, Configuration and Usage guide here!

Sick Beard has been around the longest and is one of the most full featured TV download managers there is. Unfortunately there isn’t 1 application that manages this all, but they are split out in Categories with each application specializing in a certain type of media. All you have to do is tell it what you want to watch or point it at your current libraries and it will do the rest. These great tools will automatically manage lists of TV series, Movies, and Music for you and automatically search for the latest releases and keep your libraries up to date.

NZB SEARCH DOWNLOAD SERIAL NUMBERS
NZB SEARCH DOWNLOAD SOFTWARE
If you hover the mouse over the icon next to it, some more options appear: There is also the possibility to pause downloading: If you hover the mouse over the download speed indicator, you can set a speed limit if you like: Furthermore you can drag rows up and down to decide which item should be downloaded first. If you hover the mouse over the row, on the right-hand side an icon appears to delete the task from the queue. Some of the items can be seen in the screenshot below. You can also see the estimated download time. Here you can see that one task is being carried out and you can see its progress. Regardless of which method you use, when the file has been imported we can see it's progress in the 'Queue' section. You will not even have to open your browser, it will all run in the background. The program will import the NZB-file and start downloading. We have set this folder earlier in the configuration chapter. It is easier to save the NZB-file directly into a special folder that SABnzbd monitors continuously. Select the NZB file and then click in 'Upload'. Next click on the button under 'URL' (for some reason shown in Dutch in my screenshot, where it is called 'Bestand kiezen'). As a test I'm going to download a freeware collection. This is further explained in our manual: ' What are NZB-files?'. You can't browse (headers of) newsgroups manually (the traditional method of downloading). Like I've written before you can only download with SABnzbd by importing an NZB-file (or the URL where this file can be found). The program and servers have been set up, now it's time to start downloading. Therefore our advise: study what is allowed by law and act accordingly.

yarr harr, fiddle de dee [more on piracy networks]
being a pirate is all right to be...
I didn't really intend this post as an overview of all the major methods of piracy. But... since a couple of alternatives have been mentioned in the comments... let me infodump talk a little about 1. Usenet and 2. direct peer-to-peer systems like Gnutella and Soulseek. How they work, what their advantages are on a system level, how convenient they are for the user, that kind of thing.
(Also a bit at the end about decentralised hash table driven networks like IPFS and Freenet, and the torrent indexer BTDigg).
Usenet
First Usenet! Usenet actually predates the web, it's one of the oldest ways people communicated on the internet. Essentially it's somewhere between a mailing list and a forum (more accurately, a BBS - BBSes were like forums you had to phone, to put it very crudely, and predate the internet as such).
On Usenet, it worked like this. You would subscribe to a newsgroup, which would have a hierarchical name like rec.arts.sf.tv.babylon5.moderated (for talking about your favourite TV show, Babylon 5) or alt.transgendered (for talking about trans shit circa 1992). You could send messages to the newsgroup, which would then be copied between the various Usenet servers, where other people could download them using a 'news reader' program. If one of the Usenet servers went down, the others acted as a backup. Usenet was a set of protocols rather than a service as such; it was up to the server owners which other servers they would sync with.
Usenet is only designed to send text information. In theory. Back in the day, when the internet was slow, this was generally exactly what people sent. Which didn't stop people posting, say, porn... in ASCII form. (for the sake of rigour, that textfile's probably from some random BBS, idk if that one ever got posted to Usenet). The maximum size of a Usenet post ('article', in traditional language) depends on the server, but it's usually less than a megabyte, which does not allow for much.
As the internet took off, use of Usenet in the traditional way declined. Usenet got flooded with new users (an event named 'Eternal September'; September was traditionally when a cohort of students would start at university and thus gain access to Usenet, causing an influx of new users who didn't know the norms) and superseded by the web. But it didn't get shut down or anything - how could it? It's a protocol; as long as at least one person is running a Usenet server, Usenet exists.
But while Usenet may be nigh-unusable as a discussion forum now thanks to the overwhelming amount of spam, people found another use for the infrastructure. Suppose you have a binary file - an encoded movie, for example. You can encode that into ASCII strings using Base64 or similar methods, split it up into small chunks, and post the whole lot onto Usenet, where it will get synchronised across the network. Then, somewhere on the web, you publish a list of all the Usenet posts and their position in the file. This generally uses the NZB format. A suitable newsreader can then take that NZB file and request all the relevant pieces from a Usenet server and assemble them into a file.
NZB sites are similar to torrent trackers in that they don't directly host pirated content, but tell you where to get it. Similar to torrent trackers, some are closed and some are open. However, rather than downloading the file piecemeal from whoever has a copy as in a torrent, you are downloading it piecemeal from a big central server farm. Since these servers are expensive to run, access to Usenet is usually a paid service.
For this to work you need the Usenet servers to hold onto the data for long enough to people to get it. Generally speaking the way it works is that the server has a certain storage buffer; when it runs out of space, it starts overwriting old files. So there's an average length of time until the old file gets deleted, known as the 'retention time'. For archival purposes, that's how long you got; if you want to keep something on Usenet after that, upload it again.
As a system for file distribution... well, it's flawed, because it was never really designed as a file sharing system, but somehow it works. The operator of a Usenet server has to keep tens of petabytes of storage, to hold onto all the data on the Usenet network for a retention period of years, including the hundreds of terabytes uploaded daily, much of which is spam; it also needs to fetch it reliably and quickly for users, when the files are spread across the stream of data in random places. That's quite a system engineering challenge! Not surprisingly, data sometimes ends up corrupted. There is also a certain amount of overhead associated with encoding to ASCII and including parity checks to avoid corruption, but it's not terribly severe. In practice... if you have access to Usenet and know your way to a decent NZB site, I remember it generally working pretty well. Sometimes there's stuff on Usenet that's hard to find on other sources.
Like torrents, Usenet offers a degree of redundancy. Suppose there's a copyrighted file on Usenet server A, and it gets a DMCA notice and complies. But it's still on Usenet servers B, C and D, and so the (ostensible) copyright holder has to go and DMCA them as well. However, it's less redundant, since there are fewer Usenet servers, and operating one is so much more involved. I think if the authorities really wanted to crush Usenet as a functional file distribution system, they'd have an easier time of it than destroying torrents. Probably the major reason they don't is that Usenet is now a fairly niche system, so the cost/benefit ratio would be limited.
In terms of security for users, compared to direct peer to peer services, downloading from Usenet has the advantage of not broadcasting your IP on the network. Assuming the server implements TLS (any modern service should), if you don't use a VPN, your ISP will be able to see that you connected to a Usenet server, but not what you downloaded.
In practice?
for torrenting, if you use public trackers you definitely 100% want a VPN. Media companies operate sniffers which will connect to the torrent swarm and keep track of what IP addresses connect. Then, they will tell your ISP 'hey, someone is seeding our copyrighted movie on xyz IP, tell them to stop'. At this point, your ISP will usually send you a threatening email on a first offence and maybe cutoff your internet on a second. Usually this is a slap on the wrist sort of punishment, ISPs really don't care that much, and they will reconnect you if you say sorry... but you can sidestep that completely with a VPN. at that point the sniffer can only see the VPN's IP address, which is useless to them.
for Usenet, the threat model is more niche. There's no law against connecting to Usenet, and to my knowledge, Usenet servers don't really pay attention to anyone downloading copyrighted material from their servers (after all, there's no way they don't know the main reason people are uploading terabytes of binary data every day lmao). But if you want to be sure the Usenet server doesn't ever see your IP address, and your ISP doesn't know you connected to Usenet, you can use a VPN.
(In general I would recommend a VPN any time you're pirating or doing anything you don't want your IP to be associated with. Better safe than sorry.)
What about speed? This rather depends on your choice of Usenet provider, how close it is to you, and what rate limits they impose, but in practice it's really good since it's built on incredibly robust, pre-web infrastructure; this is one of the biggest advantages of Usenet. For torrents, by contrast... it really depends on the swarm. A well seeded torrent can let you use your whole bandwidth, but sometimes you get unlucky and the only seed is on the other side of the planet and you can only get about 10kB/s off them.
So, in short, what's better, Usenet or BitTorrent? The answer is really It Depends, but there's no reason not to use both, because some stuff is easier to find on torrents (most anime fansub groups tend to go for torrent releases) and some stuff is easier to find on Usenet (e.g. if it's so old that the torrents are all dead). In the great hierarchy of piracy exclusivity, Usenet sits somewhere between private and public torrent trackers.
For Usenet, you will need to figure out where to find those NZBs. Many NZB sites require registration/payment to access the NZB listing, and some require you to be invited. However, it's easier to get into an NZB site than getting on a private torrent tracker, and requires less work once you're in to stay in.
Honestly? It surprises me that Usenet hasn't been subject to heavier suppression, since it's relatively centralised. It's got some measure of resilience, since Usenet servers are distributed around the world, and if they started ordering ISPs to block noncomplying Usenet servers, people would start using VPNs, proxies would spring up; it would go back to the familiar whack-a-mole game.
I speculate the only reason it's not more popular is the barrier to entry is just very slightly higher than torrents. Like, free always beats paid, even though in practice torrents cost the price of a VPN sub. Idk.
(You might say it requires technical know-how... but is 'go on the NZB indexer to download an NZB and then download a file from Usenet' really so much more abstruse than 'go on the tracker to download a torrent and then download a file from the swarm'?)
direct peer to peer (gnutella, soulseek, xdcc, etc.)
In a torrent, the file is split into small chunks, and you download pieces of your file from everyone who has a copy. This is fantastic for propagation of the file across a network because as soon as you have just one piece, you can start passing it on to other users. And it's great for downloading, since you can connect to lots of different seeds at once.
However, there is another form of peer to peer which is a lot simpler. You provide some means to find another person who has your file, and they send you the file directly.
This is the basis that LimeWire worked on. LimeWire used two protocols under the hood, one of them BitTorrent, the other a protocol called Gnutella. When the US government ordered LimeWire shut down, the company sent out a patch to LimeWire users that made the program delete itself. But both these protocols are still functioning. (In fact there's even an 'unofficial' fork of the LimeWire code that you can use.)
After LimeWire was shut down, Gnutella declined, but it didn't disappear by any means. The network is designed to be searchable, so you can send out a query like 'does anyone have a file whose name contains the string "Akira"' and this will spread out across the network, and you will get a list of people with copies of Akira, or the Akira soundtrack, and so on. So there's no need for indexers or trackers, the whole system is distributed. That said, you are relying on the user to tell the truth about the contents of the file. Gnutella has some algorithmic tricks to make scanning the network more efficient, though not to the same degree as DHTs in torrents. (DHTs can be fast because they are looking for one computer, the appointed tracker, based on a hash of the file contents. Tell me if you wanna know about DHTs, they're a fascinating subject lol).
Gnutella is not the only direct file sharing protocol. Another way you can introduce 'person who wants a file' and 'person who has a file' is to have a central server which everyone connects to, often providing a chatroom function along with coordinating connections.
This can be as simple as an IRC server. Certain IRC clients (by no means all) support a protocol called XDCC, which let you send files to another user. This has been used by, for example, anime fansub groups - it's not really true anymore, but there was a time where the major anime fansub groups operated XDCC bots and if you wanted their subs, you had to go on their IRC and write a command to the bot to send it to you.
XDCC honestly sucked though. It was slow if you didn't live near the XDCC bot, and often the connection would often crap out mid download and you'd have to manually resume (thankfully it was smart enough not to have to start over from the beginning), and of course, it is fiddly to go on a server and type a bunch of IRC commands. It also put the onus of maintaining distribution entirely on the fansub group - your group ran out of money or went defunct and shut down its xdcc bot? Tough luck. That said, it was good for getting old stuff that didn't have a torrent available.
Then there's Soulseek! Soulseek is a network that can be accessed using a handful of clients. It is relatively centralised - there are two major soulseek servers - and they operate a variety of chat rooms, primarily for discussing music.
To get on Soulseek you simply register a username, and you mark at least one folder for sharing. There doesn't have to be anything in it, but a lot of users have it set so that they won't share anything unless you're sharing a certain amount of data yourself.
You can search the network and get a list of users who have matching files, or browse through a specific user's folder. Each user can set up their own policy about upload speed caps and so on. If you find something you want to download, you can queue it up. The files will be downloaded in order.
One interesting quirk of Soulseek is that the uploader will be notified (not like a push notification, but you see a list of who's downloading/downloaded your files). So occasionally someone will notice you downloading and send you a friendly message.
Soulseek is very oriented towards music. Officially, its purpose is to help promote unsigned artists, not to infringe copyright; in practice it's primarily a place for music nerds to hang out and share their collections. And although it's faced a bit of legal heat, it seems to be getting by just fine.
However, there's no rule that you can only share music. A lot of people share films etc. There's really no telling what will be on Soulseek.
Since Soulseek is 1-to-1 connections only, it's often pretty slow, but it's often a good bet if you can't find something anywhere else, especially if that something is music. In terms of resilience, the reliance on a single central server to connect people to peers is a huge problem - that's what killed Napster back in the day, if the Soulseek server was shut down that would be game over... unless someone else set up a replacement and told all the clients where to connect. And yet, somehow it's gotten away with it so far!
In terms of accessibility, it's very easy: just download a client, pick a name and password, and share a few gigs (for example: some movies you torrented) and you're good.
In terms of safety, your IP is not directly visible in the client, but any user who connects directly to you would be able to find it out with a small amount of effort. I'm not aware of any cases of IP sniffers being used on Soulseek, but I would recommend a VPN all the same to cover your bases - better safe than sorry.
Besides the public networks like Soulseek and Gnutella, there are smaller-scale, secret networks that also work on direct connection basis, e.g. on university LANs, using software such as DC++. I cannot give you any advice on getting access to these, you just have to know the right person.
Is that all the ways you can possibly pirate? Nah, but I think that's the main ones.
Now for some more niche shit that's more about the kind of 'future of piracy' type questions in the OP, like, can the points of failure be removed..?
IPFS
Since I talked a little above about DHTs for torrents, I should maybe spare a few words about this thing. Currently on the internet you specify the address of a certain computer connected to the network using an IP address. (Well, typically the first step is to use the DNS to get an IP address.) IPFS is based on the idea of 'content-based addressing' instead; like torrents, it specifies a file using a hash of the content.
This leads to a 'distributed file system'; the ins and outs are fairly complicated but it has several layers of querying. You can broadcast that you want a particular chunk of data to "nearby" nodes; if that fails to get a hit, you can query a DHT which directs you to someone who has a list of sources.
In part, the idea is to create a censorship-resistant network: if a node is removed, the data may still be available on other nodes. However, it makes no claim to outright permanence, and data that is not requested is gradually flushed from nodes by garbage collection. If you host a node, you can 'pin' data so it won't be deleted, or you can pay someone else to do that on their node. (There's also some cryptocurrency blockchain rubbish that is supposed to offer more genuine permanence.)
IPFS is supposed to act as a replacement for the web, according to its designers. This is questionable. Most of what we do on the web right now is impossible on IPFS. However, I happen to like static sites, and it's semi-good at that. It is, sympathetically, very immature; I remember reading one very frustrated author writing about how hard it was to deploy a site to IPFS, although that was some years ago and matters seem to have improved a bit since then.
I said 'semi-good'. Since the address of your site changes every time you update it, you will end up putting multiple redundant copies of your site onto the network at different hashes (though the old hashes will gradually disappear). You can set a DNS entry that points to the most recent IPFS address of your site, and rely on that propagating across the DNS servers. Or, there's a special mutable distributed name service on the IPFS network based around public/private key crypto; basically you use a hash of your public key as the address and that returns a link to the latest version of your site signed with your private key.
Goddamn that's a lot to try to summarise.
Does it really resist censorship? Sorta. If a file is popular enough to propagate enough the network, it's hard to censor it. If there's only one node with it, it's no stronger than any other website. If you wanted to use it as a long term distributed archive, it's arguably worse than torrents, because data that's not pinned is automatically flushed out of the network.
It's growing, if fairly slowly. You can announce and share stuff on it. It has been used to bypass various kinds of web censorship now and then. Cloudflare set a bunch of IPFS nodes on their network last year. But honestly? Right now it's one of those projects that is mostly used by tech nerds to talk to other tech nerds. And unfortunately, it seems to have caught a mild infection of cryptocurrency bullshit as well. Thankfully none of that is necessary.
What about piracy? Is this useful for our nefarious purposes? Well, sort of. Libgen has released all its books on IPFS; there is apparently an effort to upload the content of ZLib to IPFS as well, under the umbrella of 'Anna's Archive' which is a meta-search engine for LibGen, SciHub and a backup of ZLib. By nature of IPFS, you can't put the actual libgen index site on it (since it constantly changes as new books are uploaded, and dynamic serverside features like search are impossible on IPFS). But books are an ideal fit for IPFS since they're usually pretty small.
For larger files, they are apparently split into 256kiB chunks and hashed individually. The IPFS address links to a file containing a list of chunk hashes, or potentially a list of lists of chunk hashes in a tree structure. (Similar to using a magnet link to acquire a torrent file; the short hash finds you a longer list of hashes. Technically, it's all done with Merkle trees, the same data structure used in torrents).
One interesting consequence of this design is that the chunks don't necessarily 'belong' to a particular file. If you're very lucky, some of your chunks will already be established on the network. This also further muddies the waters of whether a particular user is holding onto copyrighted data or not, since a particular hash/block might belong to both the tree of some copyrighted file and the tree of some non-copyrighted file. Isn't that fun?
The other question I had was about hash collisions. Allegedly, these are almost impossible with the SHA-256 hash used by default on IPFS, which produces a 256-bit address. This is tantamount to saying that of all the possible 256KiB strings of data, only at most about 1 in 8000 will actually ever be distributed with the IPFS. Given the amount of 256-kibibyte strings is around 4.5 * 10^631305, this actually seems like a fairly reasonable assumption. Though, given that number, it seems a bit unlikely that two files will ever actually have shared chunks. But who knows, files aren't just random data so maybe now and then, there will be the same quarter-megabyte in two different places.
That said, for sharing large files, IPFS doesn't fundamentally offer a huge advantage over BitTorrent with DHT. If a lot of people are trying to download a file over IPFS, you will potentially see similar dynamics to a torrent swarm, where chunks spread out across the network. Instead of 'seeding' you have 'pinning'.
It's an interesting technology though, I'll be curious to see where it goes. And I strongly hope 'where it goes' is not 'increasingly taken over by cryptocurrency bullshit'.
In terms of security, an IPFS node is not anonymous. It's about as secure as torrents. Just like torrents, the DFT keeps a list of all the nodes that have a file. So if you run an IPFS node, it would be easy to sniff out if you are hosting a copyrighted file on IPFS. That said, you can relatively safely download from IPFS without running a node or sharing anything, since the IPFS.tech site can fetch data for you. Although - if you fetch a site via the IPFS.tech site (or any other site that provides IPFS access over http), IPFS.tech will gain a copy of the file and temporarily provide it. So it's not entirely tantamount to leeching - although given the level of traffic on IPFS.tech I can't imagine stuff lasts very long on there.
Freenet Hyphanet
Freenet (officially renamed to Hyphanet last month, but most widely known as Freenet) is another, somewhat older, content-based addressing distributed file store built around a DHT. The difference between IPFS and Freenet is that Freenet prioritises anonymity over speed. Like in IPFS, the data is split into chunks - but on Freenet, the file is spread out redundantly across multiple different nodes immediately, not when they download it, and is duplicated further whenever it's downloaded.
Unlike torrents and IPFS, looking up a file causes it to spread out across the network, instead of referring you to an IP address. Your request is routed around the network using hashes in the usual DHT way. If it runs into the file, it comes back, writing copies at each step along the way. If a node runs out of space it overwrites the chunks that haven't been touched in a while. So if you get a file back, you don't know where it came from. The only IP addresses you know are your neighbours in the network.
There's a lot of complicated and clever stuff about how the nodes swap roles and identities in the network to gradually converge towards an efficient structure while maintaining that degree of anonymity.
Much like IPFS, data on Freenet is not guaranteed to last forever. If there's a lot of demand, it will stick around - but if no nodes request the file for a while, it will gradually get flushed out.
As well as content-based hashing, the same algorithm can be used for routing to a cryptographic signature, which lets you define a semi-mutable 'subspace' (you can add new files later which will show up when the key is queried). In fact a whole lot of stuff seems to be built on this, including chat services and even a Usenet-like forum with a somewhat complex 'web of trust' anti-spam system.
If you use your computer as a Freenet node, you will necessarily be hosting whatever happens to route through it. Freenet is used for much shadier shit than piracy. As far as safety, the cops are trying to crack it, though probably copyrighted stuff is lower on their priority list than e.g. CSAM.
Is Freenet used for piracy? If it is, I can't find much about it on a cursory search. The major problem it has is latency. It's slow to look stuff up, and slow to download it since it has to be copied to every node between you and the source. The level of privacy it provides is just not necessary for everyday torrenting, where a VPN suffices.
BTDigg
Up above I lamented the lack of discoverability on BitTorrent. There is no way to really search the BitTorrent network if you don't know exactly the file you want. This comes with advantages (it's really fast; DHT queries can be directed to exactly the right node rather than spreading across the network as in Gnutella) but it means BitTorrent is dependent on external indices to know what's available on the network and where to look for it.
While I was checking I had everything right about IPFS, I learned there is a site called BTDigg (wikipedia) which maintains a database of torrents known from the Mainline DHT (the primary DHT used by BitTorrent). Essentially, when you use a magnet link to download a torrent file, you query the DHT to find a node that has the full .torrent file, which tells you what you need to download to get the actual content of the torrent. BTDigg has been running a scraper which notes magnet links coming through its part of the DHT and collects the corresponding .torrent files; it stores metadata and magnet links in a database that is text-searchable.
This database isn't hosted on the BitTorrent network, so it's as vulnerable to takedown as any other tracker, but it does function as a kind of backup record of what torrents exist if the original tracker has gone. So give that a try if the other sites fail.
Say something about TOR?
I've mentioned VPNs a bunch, but what about TOR? tl;dr: don't use TOR for most forms of piracy.
I'm not gonna talk about TOR in detail beyond to say I wouldn't recommend using TOR for piracy for a few reasons:
TOR doesn't protect you if you're using torrents. Due to the way the BitTorrent protocol works, your IP will leak to the tracker/DHT. So there's literally no point to using TOR.
If that's not enough to deter you, TOR is slow. It's not designed for massive file transfers and it's already under heavy use. Torrents would strain it much further.
If you want an anonymisation network designed with torrents in mind, instead consider I2P. Using a supported torrent client (right now p much just Vuze and its fork BiglyBT - I would recommend the latter), you can connect to a torrent swarm that exists purely inside the I2P network. That will protect you from IP sniffers, at the cost of reducing the pool of seeds you can reach. (It also might be slower in general thanks to the onion routing, not sure.)
What's the future of piracy?
So far the history of piracy has been defined by churn. Services and networks grow popular, then get shut down. But the demand continues to exist and sooner or later, they are replaced. Techniques are refined.
It would be nice to imagine that somewhere up here comes the final, unbeatable piracy technology. It should be... fast, accessible, easy to navigate, reliably anonymous, persistent, and too widespread and ~rhizomatic~ to effectively stamp out. At that point, when 'copies of art' can no longer function as a scarce commodity, what happens? Can it finally be decoupled from the ghoulish hand of capital? Well, if we ever find out, it will be in a very different world to this one.
Right now, BitTorrent seems the closest candidate. The persistent weaknesses: the need for indexers and trackers, the lack of IP anonymity, and the potential for torrents to die out. Also a lot of people see it as intimidating - there's a bunch of jargon (seeds, swarms, magnet links, trackers, peers, leeches, DHT) which is pretty simple in practice (click link, get thing) but presents a barrier to entry compared to googling 'watch x online free'.
Anyway, really the thing to do is, continue to pirate by any and all means available. Don't put it all in one basket, you know? Fortunately, humanity is waaaay ahead of me on that one.
do what you want 'cos a pirate is free you are a pirate

Here are my updated recommendations for the best Usenet Provider:
Newshosting is a reliable provider with excellent download speeds
If you’d prefer an independent provider based in Europe, I recommend:
Tweaknews (more details)
XS News (more details)
See also this article that discusses all the Usenet backbones.
I do not recommend these providers:
UsenetBucket (poor customer service, clunky interface)
Astraweb (doesn’t respond to emails, poor customer service)
Giganews (overpriced for the service offered)
To achieve Usenet nirvana, I recommend using SABnzbd as your client (see my The Best Usenet Clients article) and a good Usenet index (see my article The Best Usenet Indexes).
The NZB Unity add-on for Firefox also makes downloading easier. On Chrome browsers, you can use SABconnect++.
Getting More Coverage: Using Backup Providers
The power users tend to use two providers — a primary provider and a backup provider. The reason for this is that some files might be missing from the primary provider so the backup provider will fill in the missing file. The backup account can be a block account if you like. Block accounts are a one-time charge. The price is based on the number of gigabytes (GB) available for download.
For your backup account to be effective, you need your backup provider to pull from a separate Usenet backbone.
Here are my recommended combinations of providers:
Newshosting (USA + Europe, Omicron backbone) + XS News (European provider, Abavia backbone)
UsenetExpress (USA + Europe, UsenetExpress backbone) + Tweaknews (European provider, Omicron backbone)
See instructions here on how to add the backup provider in SabNZBd.
Created in 1979, Usenet is one of the originally distributed networks. Still widely used today, the Usenet contains a vast number of media files and articles!
Usenet users upload every type of media file (movies, TV shows, music, and e-books). In its 30-year history, no one has ever been sued for downloading anything from the Usenet.
In 2004, a site called Newzbin started indexing the files available on Usenet and created the NZB file format. An NZB file is the Usenet equivalent of a torrent file. An NZB file that contains a pointer to files available on Usenet.
To get started with Usenet, you need to pay for Usenet access from a provider. You can expect to pay about $10-$20 monthly for access.
Advantages of Usenet
Encourages users to download (leech)
Direct downloading as opposed to waiting for seeders
It uses the total bandwidth of your internet connection
It uses SSL to encrypt data being sent to your computer
There are four main features to look for when choosing a provider:
Data Retention (how far their Usenet archive goes back — 1200 days is average, around 2100 days is the longest you can get)
Monthly Transfer (the amount of data you can download each month — varies from 5 GB to unlimited traffic)
Connections (the number of simultaneous connections you can make at a single time through your account — around 10-15 is fine unless you have a 100Mbps connection)
Secure Connections (you may want a provider that provides SSL connections, so you can’t be snooped on)
Unlimited Usenet Access With No Frills: UsenetExpress
UsenetExpress is a good choice if you want no-frills Usenet service and are comfortable using NZB files to initiate downloads. This service is a hybrid tier 1 service based in the US. As a hybrid provider, UsenetExpress has its own local storage, and this is supplemented by files pulled from a third-party backbone (Abavia).
I’ve been testing UsenetExpress for about four years. The price is only $7.50 monthly for 50 connections with unlimited downloads. The annual price is $90. They accept Bitcoin as a payment option.
Link: UsenetExpress
The Best European-Based Usenet Providers
Many people prefer using European providers because they offer alternative Usenet feeds and can be used to fill in missing binary files. However, note that these providers also comply with file takedowns (via NTD) requests.
Tweaknews: Comprehensive Provider In Europe
Tweaknews is a Dutch Usenet provider with some of the fastest connections in Europe. This provider charges €7 euros or $7.99 USD per month. For this, you get 40 SSL Usenet connections, with 2500-day retention. A VPN and search engine are also included.
Tweaknews offers a 10-day free trial. Using the trial account, you can download at 20 Mbps (2.5 MB/s) using 8 connections — up to a limit of 10 Gigabytes.
Tweaknews also offers block accounts, and these are pretty popular. For example, their “100GB Block Package” costs only €13 (euros). However, please note that the download speeds for the block account are capped at 100 Mpb/s.
I’ve been testing them for several months, and I’ve found their service to be reliable. From my US East Coast office, I generally get a download speed of 97 Mbps (11.4 MB/s). The company says they offer a maximum rate of 800 Mbps (100 MB/s).
The Tweaknews feed comes from Highwinds — a US-based tier-one provider in business since 2002.

XS News: An Independent Usenet Backbone
XS News is my recommended independent European Usenet provider. This tier-one service started in 2006 and offers a genuinely independent Usenet feed.
XS News is based in Lijnden, The Netherlands, and all their servers are there.
They offer 30 connections for € 8.20 euros (about $9.70 USD) per month with a yearly subscription. Their retention time is 1100+ days.

Please, I would love it if you would write up a post about how to torrent media! I'd love to do it but I've found every explanation so damn confusing I have no idea where to begin.
Well... I haven't actually torrented anything in a few years. My Usenet setup is quite a bit different.
But what I do know about torrenting boils down to this:
Torrenting works by a bunch of people providing pieces of a file/set of files that your torrent client puts together. You then also re-provide pieces of the file/set of files to others. That's what "seeding" is, and for a healthy community you generally want each user to have a 2:1 seed ratio (i.e., you provide twice as much as you take).
Buuuuuut seeding is what can get you in trouble legally, as providing media is way different from downloading it. As I said up top, I haven't torrented in a long time so I'm not 100% sure on how much companies are going after individual people nowadays.
You kick this off by loading a torrent file into your client program. This helps everyone's various clients work together to get and provide the desired media. Because torrent files themselves are not media, they are legal to host online. Sort of. Technically.
My basic tips for torrenting are:
Use a VPN. This obscures your traffic from your ISP (and everyone else). Yes, you have to pay for one, don't use a free one. And know that you're basically trading your ISP seeing your traffic for the VPN seeing your traffic.
Be very careful which torrent client (program) you decide to use. Some of them are loaded with malware. Including some that used to be legit! I do not know which one is now recommended
Yes, you have to seed. Don't be a leech
If you have a reliable source of direct downloads (which is when you just download something directly from a website through your browser), then using a VPN with malware + mining protection is probably sufficient.
But if you want to know how I do it, then read on
I'm no good at highly-specific terminology, but I'll do my best. I use Usenet to get all of my media. Yes, it's still around! And you are going to have to be brave and get a bit technical to use it. Not a lot technical, but a bit.
You'll also notice that several of these links just point you to r/usenet. Feel free to bail on me and follow their much more complete information!
Similar to above, you can't do this 100% for free (or at least you probably shouldn't). In this case, you need a newsgroup provider in order to let your computer navigate the system. Usenet is completely decentralized, newsreaders are your access. All of your Usenet traffic will flow through this service, not unlike a VPN (they are not VPNs, though some may provide VPN services alongside).
Media specifically is going to be in the form of NZB files. Similar to (but not quite the same as) torrent files, they are not media themselves but they allow our computers and newreaders find the media we want. Unlike torrenting, you do not need to seed.
Next step is we need an indexer. This is where we get NZB files from. Most that are worth a damn cost money, but many offer a one-time lifetime fee instead of a subscription.
The indexer you choose will provide you with an API key. We'll need this for our newsreader to talk to the indexer. It's kinda like signing in to a website or service.
While I haven't provided any other recommendations (largely to cover my butt), here I do recommend SABnzbd, Radarr, and Sonarr (all of them together; Radarr is for movies and Sonarr is for shows). This is gonna let us automate (almost) the entire process!
I'm not going to blow-by-blow this part, even though it's the most "technical." There are guides (I linked some already) and I don't think it would be useful to summarize. But we can talk through the flow:
You tie your indexer into these three programs via API key and point them at each other (again, follow the guides). Then we can do some cool stuff:
You could, theoretically, manually browse your indexer (most provide regular websites), download a NZB file, stick it in SABnzbd, and then deal with the resulting file. Or you could browse the much nicer GUIs of Sonarr and Radarr, select what you want, and wait. Sonarr and Radarr also have scheduling, so they will automatically queue up downloads when a movie releases or as new episodes of a show come out. We already told SABnzbd where we want our files to live, so once the download is done we can go there, open it, and watch!
ORRRR we could go a step cooler still
I also use Plex, which lets you point it at a folder (or folders) and it will set up a Netflix-like experience. If you point it at the folder(s) that you have SABnzb saving files into, then you've got a not-quite-entirely automated process of an updating personal streaming service. If you've tagged a show and a new season comes out? So long as your indexer hasn't gone tits-up you get new episodes as they launch in the quality you have pre-selected.
I even built a custom computer specifically to run this whole setup (with 24TB of space, which is nothing, trust me).
There's so much depth I'm not going into. Each of these tools and concepts go on and on, with bunches of customization options that I haven't fully explored. All in all it's a very cool experience that I cannot recommend enough.
This probably came off very rambling and not quite useful. But I hope it's enough information for you to do your own deep dive and figure out the best solution for you
