When I cant do that from home,I find alternatives.

I'm surprised no one commented the whole "filesharing turning into a business" thing.

i guess no one cares. Meh.

You have to ask that to trackers!!! they are the ones make money off people. they are the ones worried with money, not users.

i paid for vps seedbox, 10 dollars per month for 10mbit/s 10 gb hd, bandwidth 350, used 89gb of bandwidth lots of documentaries , hmm what else, oh yes usenext 1USD for that 5 gb i think or was it 1gb bandwidth, max out 8mb connection every day

in all about 11 dollars it was worth it.

How can you say that in light of recent threads about even the 'Main Trackers' looking for donations from it's members due to a shortage of funds? FSC, FTN to name but a couple... then there's even been stoi mentioning how BCG don't even 'make money' into the bargain...

I think you'll find that even though there are a few with massive member bases, who effectively encourage Pay2Leech, there are a far, far greater number who don't 'make money'... most can't even meet their monthly server costs, never mind "make money off people".

Never:

torrent : invites
seedbox: shared
NG: shared or phishing
RS and other hosts: phishing
FTP: contribution

Apart from joining one of those "unlimited free legal music" sites way back when, no.

But to their defense the network, which was some kind of highly modified music file only program (think part of network or program name was gIFT or something like that), and actually found the stuff you were looking for, was quite nice. Although by today's standards the audio quality sucked.

I remember trying Limewire while a member there and dumping Limewire for that other program, even though Limewire was free.

Back then you could get scammed, without feeling like you were scammed. Especially since it was something like $19.99 for two years and included an active request forum on site.

i spend 87€ each month on seedbox. reach high class on almost all decent trackers.

warez means free
who the hell pays?

Never for downloads, but a vpn might be worth it.
