Newsflash: there are countries (especially in europe) where piracy is legal for strictly personal uses.
The world doesn't revolve around US regulations anon.
Literally never had this problem even though I see it meme'd on Ganker all the time
I do let metadata preload first before adding it to my active torrents so maybe that's the difference if you just click "OK" immediately before metadata finishes preloading
Nobody knows my torrent program, because it doesn't advertise itself as a torrent program.
It has zero ads, or any other bullshit like that. It's a pure program that only serves its duty.
It has decent enough torrent options to customize up and down and how many people I connect to and all that.
And most importantly: It just werks. The UI is clean and intuitive, and it just does its job. Takes no effort. Steals no resources. Minimizes to the tray, so it's out of sight and out of mind until I need it. The perfect program. And I'm not telling you what it is.
Zenimax and Paramount harassed my ISP once for downloading things I already own but preferred digitally, so I guess that's the extent of their power. My ISP knows I've paid their bills on time for 20 years so they don't give a shit.
it's not the isp, it's whoever owns what you pirated, and they contact your isp about it because otherwise they have no idea.
in my experience jap companies like nintendo and square enix are the worst at this and have teams of lawyers ready to jump on any torrent download.
but the worst that happens in america anyways is they tell you not to do it again. and if you do, they just tell you again. they don't ever want to lose you as a customer and there's no tangible consequence for pirating.
is it a good thing that piracy is only done by a "few" people?
If it were more widespread then the government would have to be more heavy-handed in how its regulated, right?
yes
piracy is only fine because not enough people do it. it's mostly just people who can't afford games. if everyone started doing it then there'd have to be a huge crackdown
I guess so. The israelitenited states of america gov seized zlibrary and plastered their anti-piracy flag on it last year. Probably because of how popular and easy to use zlibrary is.
Technically yes but unless you got to about 40-50% of users being pirates nobody would notice because the numbers would go down all across the board so the statistics would be mostly unchanged. Also even porates will sometimes purchase shit they really like so you'd need huge numbers for corpos to give enough of a frick to bother the government about it.
>new games are $100~$130 now >no playable demo to check to see if the unoptimized trash even fricking runs or not >pirate it because I have no other option
want people to pay for your game?
give us playable demos so we can check that it actually fricking works.
Shartfield and Cities Skylines 2 claiming min reqs were a 1070ti when they clearly fricking werent was such a fricking scam
VPNlets don't just worry about ISP letters, they also have to consider if sites will ban their ass for leeching multiple TBs of data.
Imagine these cucks getting placed in the "slow queue" at archive.org just for downloading a full set of PS2 isos.
Or if a file locker site tells them they've exceeded their free data amount, they have no way to change their IP so they have to wait hahaha

Who's the poorshitter here?
Besides, all the money I don't spend on games goes towards buying better hardware
Get uBittorrent mein neger, that shit never failed me throughout my years of using it. If you're concerned about whatever, it's open source. (read: some autists will report anything that's off about the program if it ever will be)
You mean Pluton? It's already incorporated into every modern desktop CPU. You can still disable it like every other non-CIA-backdoor feature, so it's not a big deal.
I became a Vuzeking after BitTorrent became a virus on my laptop 10 years ago and my internet provider snitched on me to bangbros. Now I never get emails after having torrented at least 300 movies and games.
Most likely has a ton of security vulnerabilities, since the only viable version hasn't been updated in years. It also has been hijacked by three letter agencies since version 3 or whatever.
Bros I'm sorry but I have to confess.
I never seed. Ever. I have never once seeded a torrent in all 34 years of my life. I apologize to you all but I won't start seeding either.
Don't blame you, ISPs tend to get more pissy about seeding then feeding anyway.
it's not the isp, it's whoever owns what you pirated, and they contact your isp about it because otherwise they have no idea.

Don't forget the Denuvo bullshit to make sure thirdworld homosexuals like me won't be able to buy their shit and run it on our potatos, indirectly telling us to pirate it.

Pirates proven right once again.
jail parole costs over $1000 USD or probably never.
wussies
the feds are not cowards,they're right.
that's okay, I'm black, I get free parole.
black or white, pedos deserves the death penalty.
oh no, im so scared of your desperate sunk-cost cope bluffs. pls stop, you're ending piracy right now, and the cops are coincidentally at my door!!
Pirating your mom and your sister right now
that's not pirating, that's sexual assault, get fricked you criminal freak.
Mind seeding already so i can pirate them too?
why you posted your own selfie here.
i did want to get your attention?
congratulations,posting wojaks does not deny your cowardice.
I don't live in the USA
>Pirate more than 1k$
>Get caught
>Pay the fine
>Mfw state actively steals money from game devs
ok but piracy is illegal. enjoy your prison sentence
>NO PIRATE CHILD! YOU WON'T DOWNLOAD MOVIES TO YOUR DEVICE FOR FREE! ENJOY PRISON!
Newsflash: there are countries (especially in europe) where piracy is legal for strictly personal uses.
The world doesn't revolve around US regulations anon.
can we get a map of the civilized world and the US states to see whats legal, or not enforced?
I feel like stuff like e-girl and piracy is technically illegal, but not enforced. Thats probably true for any sane country, right`?
nice bait dude.
I don't remember the last time I downloaded such a game. Usually those aren't even worth a pirate, doesn't help that they're all 100Gb in size.
>utorrent
Use qBittorrent my guy
utorrent has a smaller memory footprint, it's its whole appeal
How ancient is your computer where the memory footprint of a damn torrenting program matters?
Upgrade your system, god damn. Can you even play any of the games you download?
>stalled

Nnnno, I don't think I will.

Works on my machine;)
post your fed log or gtfo :^)
>fed log
I don't live in a cucked country.
Absolute garbage by monkey coders. Use literally fricking anything like deluge or transmission.
i don't use neither of them, i prefer wasting real money instead of be jailed.
utorrent is the most israeliteified client imaginable. qbittorent is no ads and simple. Anyone shilling agaisnt it is a israelite.
I'm more of a Transmission kind of guy.
I use Halite.
There's abobawdely no reason not to use utorrent 2.2.1
some trackers ban it unfortunately
Nobody knows my torrent program, because it doesn't advertise itself as a torrent program.
It has zero ads, or any other bullshit like that. It's a pure program that only serves its duty.

is Azuz dead?
2.2.1 GOD
my homie
they'll have to pry 2.2.1 from my cold lifeless fingers
>Couldn't handle big torrent
Nah, man. 2.2.1 is shit when it comes to downloading terabytes of anime.
sorry gamedev, best I can do is gray market key for base game and creamapi for DLCs
Your internet provider will rat on you
Enjoy your prison time
Shills. Nobody in real life gets persecuted for downloading media.
Zenimax and Paramount harassed my ISP once for downloading things I already own but preferred digitally, so I guess that's the extent of their power. My ISP knows I've paid their bills on time for 20 years so they don't give a shit.
Why would you live is Britain? Why not live in a first world country
He didn't have his pirating license
>Enjoy your prison time
I'm a third worlder
Eat shit

this is stupid, just pirate money and then you can just buy whatever you want
>pay 2 dollars for a VPN

heh nothin' personell bootlickers

>Trojans say hi, miners say hi....
>ooooooohhh you'll get invisible malicious software if you pirate ooooooohhh
Literally on the level of pajeets with their belief in toilet witches.
Your iq has to be lower than the average third world subhuman to catch a malwarevia torrenting
>windows 10+ says hi, steam says hi, your av says hi...
I think we should keep this myth afloat actually
The less people pirate the less publishers add denuvo to their stuff

Threads like this are hard evidence of how israelites controls Ganker.
Not everyone is a poorshitter
>pay money for vidya
>save money by pirating
Who's the poorshitter here?
Besides, all the money I don't spend on games goes towards buying better hardware
catch me if you can 🙂
Who qBittorrent v4.3.9 here?
Didn't utorrent become malware? Last time I used it, it added advertisements to the program and I uninstalled immediately.
Get uBittorrent mein neger, that shit never failed me throughout my years of using it. If you're concerned about whatever, it's open source. (read: some autists will report anything that's off about the program if it ever will be)
Don't worry. Microsoft is developing a "security chip" and pirating will be a thing of the past.
You mean Pluton? It's already incorporated into every modern desktop CPU. You can still disable it like every other non-CIA-backdoor feature, so it's not a big deal.
>You can still disable it like every other non-CIA-backdoor feature
however you can't disable the internet provider monitoring.
Do you stupid homosexuals seriously not use a vpn?
all VPNs are backdoored.
Just stop using the fricking internet then you dumbass
I still buy Blu-ray and physical games (on switch). Also I buy Lego and used stuff on eBay like Simpsons comics.
do americans really just throw out a used pan?
It's the price we pay for extreme abundance
I'm a pirategay and I only leech
I used to seed a lot but then my hdd died, so now I'm taking it easy with the new one.
why would i give back?
I tried seeding but it gets stuck at 50kbps so I stopped caring
Every little bit counts though. Just live running in background.
>utorrent
vidya prices are actually about the same, if not cheaper, when you account for inflation
Inflation is a israeli trick. It's just an excuse for them to make things more expensive.
If only my wage inflated by almost 50%
>account for inflation
convenient excuse for corporations to gouge prices
the only real inflation is cum inflation
Prices increase but wages don't. Curious.
your image clearly shows 90 bucks, games are 100s if not 1000s of dollars now
Vuze is superior.
vuze was my jam in like 2009 because it had an Xbox 360 app and i could stream my pirated stuff directly through it
I became a Vuzeking after BitTorrent became a virus on my laptop 10 years ago and my internet provider snitched on me to bangbros. Now I never get emails after having torrented at least 300 movies and games.
whats wrong with utorrent? i use that as well
i used it for years and noticed my hair was receding
ever since i stopped my hairline hasn't got any worse
Most likely has a ton of security vulnerabilities, since the only viable version hasn't been updated in years. It also has been hijacked by three letter agencies since version 3 or whatever.
Sorry I'm just not going to pay
Hahahaha
I'm just not going to do it
I'm gonna play for free
Loool
>jail for games
>the embarrassing face of the USA.
Yeah, I'm sure if you kneel enough you get free games at some point
Bros I'm sorry but I have to confess.
I never seed. Ever. I have never once seeded a torrent in all 34 years of my life. I apologize to you all but I won't start seeding either.
No worries, I've seeded your mom for those 34 years, so it balances out.
Don't blame you, ISPs tend to get more pissy about seeding then feeding anyway.
True, I got a letter from my ISP from Nintendo once. left Smash downloading over an unexpected 12 hour workshift. Was probably done well before I got home. Just lay low for a little before getting back into old habits.
>Finish download
>Immediately remove it from torrent
ah yes, time to enjoy some kino
The feds can monitor the download logs.
I don't care. I'm talking about seeding
cared enough to reply NPC-kun, the feds are still monitoring your downloads.
>limit upload to 12kB/s
>seed target ratio 0.0
>auto-shutdown client when all downloads are finished
comfy
I only seed niche porn or video games where the developers talked shit
Don't forget the Denuvo bullshit to make sure thirdworld homosexuals like me won't be able to buy their shit and run it on our potatos, indirectly telling us to pirate it.
because this thread will die soon. Any private trackers for videogames? especially the ones who are harder to get, so post PS2 era.
>decide to update qBittorrent
>This installer requires at least Windows 10
How about you frick off.
>Buy Assassin's Creed
>Game freezes every 30 seconds

Pirates proven right once again.
>frick you
it's not illegal to download roms in the United States.
the second I buy something it becomes my own property. I can do whatever I want with it, as long as I don't break a copyright law. haha
frick you
Dumb question but how come sometimes I can't connect to all the seeders of a torrent?
