What replaced Torrents?

[Dr. Acula]

Nothing has replaced torrents but usenet and newsgroups are making a comeback, but they are harder to use than torrents so it will always be a learning curve obstacle compared to torrents. But usually you get max download speeds and most newshosting services have retention up to 10 years which is longer than most torrents can stay seeded.

p.s fukk the FBI. Suck my dikk.

p.p.s. If you're real serious about media content, look into getting a Synology server and the following link will show you how to automate all your shyt.

If you do the above, its like setting up your own personal DVR and TV+movie provider

Streaming

Nothing that serious to watch or listen to if I can't stream it

Tons of free sites for movies/shows and I pay 10 bucks a month for Tidal which covers my music needs

Once I got a steady job, I hopped off of that wave. I don't have those old excuses I used to have about pricing and accessibility since there are so many options nowadays

Nothing. They're still around, just more underground. I hear they're making a comeback in the mainstream, so here we go with maggie and sarah killing the scene again.

Newsgroups have long retention, but torrents effectively have better retention due to DCMA takedowns affecting newsgroups very heavily
