I'll start. Did you know you can run a headless version of JD2 on a raspberry pi? It's not the greatest thing in the world, but sometimes its nice to throw a bunch of links in there and go to sleep.

Using file hosters instead of Usenet, that's a Paddlin'. Using JD2 instead of PyLoad, that's a Paddlin'. Using a headless version of JD2, that's a Paddlin'. Using an overpriced RPI, that's a Paddlin'.

Go through plex. Pay some guy to do your dirty work for you.

Not that advanced, but two things I found useful:

  • If you're in a country that blocks torrent websites but not trackers (eg. UK), visit the sites via Tor browser.
  • Rutracker.org and Rutracker.ru are surprisingly not blocked in the UK and have lots of good software. They're BBCode-style forums, so fairly obvious how to navigate/search them even if you don't speak Russian. If you want to read the description or comments of a specific torrent, pop the page into google translate.

Also what's the safest/cheapest/possible free(?) VPN you can use to torrent? Thinking about doing that as Direct Download, while nice and more safe, can definitely be time consuming

Rise Up VPN seems to work pretty well and is based on OpenVPN. It crashes less than my qbittorrent client so I've had minimal issues with it.

I really want to thank you for this post, it opens up some long hidden secrets and gems inside the piracy world <3

I want to add something to this thread for my advanced pirates: irc xdcc chats for directly downloading content use http://sunxdcc.com to search for the content you are lookin for! (though, it's very manual)

if you can

Everyone can.

I got in via an interview for what.cd, way back in the day. The interview process is still a viable way in for those willing to put a bit of time in.
