Live torrents for some old movies and pretty hard to find. I thought about somehow extracting .m3u8 but that didn't worked out. Those sits are getting better at hiding real stream URL. Any way to easy do it or something?

That's good.

Though I will say. Private trackers don't need a VPN because they're private. They're to small and too difficult for it to be worthwhile for studios to get into. And when they do, their behavior is so outside the norm they can be quickly banned.

The nature of private trackers makes them operate entirely different than public. The download speeds on private trackers are easily able to saturate my 1Gb connection. Even those with less than a dozen seeds.

I do have a question. How big is the library available to you on usenet?

I Need the VPN because of CG-NAT, not for torrenting. In my country VPN is not needed for torrents.

Usenet? No idea how big that is, but I usually find almost everything I look for. There is a somewhat limited amount of content in my native language, seems everything is either English or German
