Treat Thief, I exclusively consume pirated media.

Reminder (if you're in a hellhole where a VPN is needed for torrenting) to bind your network adapter in qbittorrent to your VPN so that in the event your VPN drops it doesn't automatically fail over into the host ("real") network interface and expose your ip for copyright claims.

This is found under settings -> advanced -> network Interface.

Also reminder that any game that you definitely legally own that only uses steamdrm can be played offline by using the Goldberg Steam emulator. Check the readme on that project page for more information/instructions.

I just use private trackers, never bothered with a VPN and I've been torrenting since it was a thing.

I really should spend some time to get into the better private trackers (MaM is the only one I've used).

My advice still stands for anyone using public trackers.

The private tracker ecosystem used to be so much more vibrant and easy to get into. Trackers like red with their weird interview shit are just about gatekeeping, that shit's for nerds. Cool trackers hand out freeleech tokens or don't give a shit about your ratio unless it's award winningly bad.
