Ask a Pirate: What p2p networks do you use in 2023? (vlemmy.net)

I do use BitTorrent, but it's never going to beat the convenience of just searching for a file and getting it when p2p networks first came out.

For niche stuff like 1930s movies sometimes I need to start a few torrents to make sure at least one of them has seeds.

I have had success with soulseek for music, but what do you guys use for other types of files?

How does one even use usenet today? Sorry for the dumb question. I just don't know where to start

I'd recommend to use a raspberry pi for an automated Usenet setup.

You'll need

  • an usenet provider (newshosting.com is reliable)
  • a download client (sabnzbd, nzbget)
  • recommended: usenet indexer
  • optional: arr apps to organize your downloads (sonarr, radarr, etc)
  • optional: Android app for sonarr and other arrs: nzb360

Once set up, it's very comfortable and hassle free, it can grab new media from your fav lists, download when released and upgrade your files as soon as available, fully automated.
