  • This is partly true. The way that you get flagged for pirating by your ISP is through copyright troll companies. In the US, the ISP shouldn’t monitor your internet traffic for torrent activity. There are legal torrents, Linux ISOs as example. Also certain game clients use peer-to-peer downloading. Websites like Peertube (tankietube) uses peer-to-peer file sharing.

    The copyright holders pay copyright troll companies to track public torrent peer lists. Then the copyright troll sends a notice to your ISP and your ISP either forwards you the notice or throws it into the trash.

    The way that a private torrent works is that the .torrent files you download from the private tracker contains your user hash key. The private tracker only gives peer lists to valid user hash keys. If the torrent client doesn’t send your user hash key to the tracker, then the tracker does not give the torrent client a peer list.

    Hypothetically, it should be safe to use private torrent without VPN. For copyright troll to collect the peer list from a private tracker, the copyright troll would have to have a user account on the peer list. If a copyright troll did send notices to users of the private tracker, and this has happened before, then it would be pretty simple for the the website admins to locate and ban the user.

    A second possibility is that a malicious user leaks the peer list to the public. This happened to me in 2014. A malicious person took the peer list from the private torrent site on and injected the peer list into KickAssTorrents public website, which exposed some users to the copyright trolls.


  • It was an honest question. Notice how I didn’t argue with their response to my question because I wanted to know what they think and not because it was a trick.

    HAVE YOU CONSIDERED THAT IT IS WEIRD, TO SOME, TO MICRO-ANALYZE THE ACTIONS OF A GIVEN PERSON?

    People should think about this. Substitute a different person into the situation. ex “I went to my barber over the weekend and my barber told me that they went to a Zoo. I’m making this post to make other people aware of my barber visiting a Zoo. I like my haircut but I can’t have my hair cut by someone who would visit a Zoo. If you get your hair cut by the same barber, consider changing your barber.”


  • Getting into the best private trackers is not easy and it can take over a year to get into the best websites.

    Whatever you you do, Do not join IPT (or the 5 websites owned by the same dude). IPT extorts people for money and has attacked other torrent websites.

    The easiest way to get into the best private trackers is to take the IRC interview for red (redacted) and then you have to contribute to the website to gain user ranks. Once you ranked up your account by uploading new torrents to the website, you are given access to a recruitment forum to other websites. There are guides on the website on how to upload new torrents.

    RED is like the new What.CD . RED is for music. PTP is for movies. BTN is television. These website have like an incomparable amount of content to what is available publicly. Each website has like 4+ petabytes of content. The top filesharing groups upload their releases directly to these websites.

    The people who run these websites are mostly redditors and there is a subreddit ( /r/trackers ) for private tracker news. There are also guides on 4chan (yuck, I know) on how to get into private trackers. The private tracker admins hate 4chan.

    I know it sounds ridiculous and a waste of time. It is what it is. It’s made difficult to join because they want to maintain a community that promotes sharing.

  • Your comment is intentionally deceptive. You add the detail of the total population of China as if I am saying that every person in China participates in Horse Racing. You also “have you recently checked X country” as if it was not mentioned in the situation. Hasan did Horse Betting in Hong Kong, China. The location is completely relevant to the situation.

    The reason that people criticize the streamer and not the other people in this situation is because they feel that they have a personal relationship with the streamer.

    I think it more weird to micro-analyze the actions of a given person. People get more outraged when a streamer makes small mistakes because they feels that they are allowed to control over that person’s life.

    Your comment proves this to be true. You try to make it seem as if it is absurd to criticize other people who are participating in the same situation. Why is it absurd to criticize the other people participating in the same situation? Why is it absurd to criticize the institutions that allow it to happen?

    I am not saying to not criticize streamers.
