Five arrests in 'fully loaded' Kodi streaming box raids

These raids (not this one in particular) can have a real impact. I'm an unabashed pirate, but it's gotten harder and harder to find a good, safe public tracker for BitTorrent. My dad can't even figure it out anymore after the private tracker I got him an invite for shutdown.

When kickass went down, people said it's like hydra. But I can't figure out where the new heads are. I'm down to piratebay and usenet only.

Sure I could spend time figuring it all out again, but that takes time and effort. So I end up buying stuff.

They'll never stop all piracy. They just want to make sure the masses don't know how to easily pirate. It's an 80/20 situation.

I'm just going to leave this HN submission that got into the front page a little while ago here... It's not the same as a full fledged tracker, but for that YIFI movie that everybody has seen, it's nice.

There are plenty of vpn we don't keep any logs services that you can run a torrent through - at that point it doesn't matter how safe the tracker is.

It takes a little bit of time for other trackers to gain traction. Right now I think the most promising public tracker I know is idope.se, enjoy :)

Why tracker? You can find most stuff using Google and various file sharing services.

I was having a hell of a time finding ebooks for my wife just googling for it. I had to download IRC. Total blast from the past. I learned how to do it, but it took a while.
