If you prefer usenet, work your way into a few good private trackers. If you prefer torrents, get an invite to a couple of indexers. Backup methods are key to success.

Since not many seem to know about it. Plex_Debrid is an awesome program and works on more than just plex!

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
Mullvad is great
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.

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.

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)

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.
