I'll start. Did you know you can run a headless version of JD2 on a raspberry pi? It's not the greatest thing in the world, but sometimes its nice to throw a bunch of links in there and go to sleep.

Using file hosters instead of Usenet, that's a Paddlin'. Using JD2 instead of PyLoad, that's a Paddlin'. Using a headless version of JD2, that's a Paddlin'. Using an overpriced RPI, that's a Paddlin'.

What makes PyLoad better than JD2? Filthy JD2 user here.

Go through plex. Pay some guy to do your dirty work for you.

I briefly looked into this, but then reddit shit the bed :-)

Can you be a little more specific? I'm in Europe. Who do I have to pay to get access to a sweet server? I'm only watching English content.

Thanks!

Download stealth app, go to one of the plex subs and pick one that has a discord linked. Unfortunately the only way is through reddit, but at least stealth app allows you to be 100% anonymous.

Not that advanced, but two things I found useful:

If you're in a country that blocks torrent websites but not trackers (eg. UK), visit the sites via Tor browser.
Rutracker.org and Rutracker.ru are surprisingly not blocked in the UK and have lots of good software. They're BBCode-style forums, so fairly obvious how to navigate/search them even if you don't speak Russian. If you want to read the description or comments of a specific torrent, pop the page into google translate.

Also what's the safest/cheapest/possible free(?) VPN you can use to torrent? Thinking about doing that as Direct Download, while nice and more safe, can definitely be time consuming

Mullvad is great

Rise Up VPN seems to work pretty well and is based on OpenVPN. It crashes less than my qbittorrent client so I've had minimal issues with it.

if you can

Everyone can.

I got in via an interview for what.cd, way back in the day. The interview process is still a viable way in for those willing to put a bit of time in.
