I do use BitTorrent, but it's never going to beat the convenience of just searching for a file and getting it when p2p networks first came out.

For niche stuff like 1930s movies sometimes I need to start a few torrents to make sure at least one of them has seeds.

I have had success with soulseek for music, but what do you guys use for other types of files?

If you open the website, it's written right there.

For the lazy people.

Hello guys,

We would like to inform you that we have decided to shut down our site. The past 2 years have been very difficult for us - some of the people in our team died due to covid complications, others still suffer the side effects of it - not being able to work at all. Some are also fighting the war in Europe - ON BOTH SIDES. Also, the power price increase in data centers in Europe hit us pretty hard. Inflation makes our daily expenses impossible to bare.

Therefore we can no longer run this site without massive expenses that we can no longer cover out of pocket. After an unanimous vote we've decided that we can no longer do it.

We are sorry :(

Bye
