    Nothing. It’s fine. I can’t fathom why people are out here paying for their piracy. Seems like it defeats the purpose. I still find everything I ever want on the same sites I’ve always gone to.

      I’ve got a server I’m mass downloading anything I or my wife can think of and quite a few obscure movies and shows aren’t on the major sites in any form that has enough seeders to actually finish

      So, Usenet it is, at least until I’m mostly done.

      If I was huntig for it all by hand I’d probably not bother but I’m using the Arr stack for automation so

      Is torrent galaxy still down? That was my go to and sounds like I have to find another. I am a little worried if they keep bringing down the big ones like that, that we’ll be left with less choices and it’ll be more difficult.

        The nice thing about torrents is how lightweight they are. If one thing goes down, ten mirrors of that thing can pop up to take its place.

        TorrentGalaxy is up, but if you can’t open it maybe your country has DNS censorship.

        Just change your DNS servers to something like 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 (Cloudflare DNS and Google DNS respectively).

        You can change your DNS from either your computer settings or your router (the latter is recommended because it applies to all connected devices).
