I’m a very casual sailor, and not very tech savvy, but I’ve torrented and used magnet links in the past with no issues.
I found the file I’m looking for. But things have changed. The site I used doesn’t provide magnets anymore, only Rapidgator links (split into 5 rar files, this is going to take me days) for direct downloads .
Every other link I found sends me to torrent trackers I need to create an account for, such as RuTracker. Which I tried, and with different emails, (brand new emails) yet every time I get rejected. Why? What am I doing wrong? Do I need to wait a couple of hours after creating the account? Are the sites not accepting registrations anymore?
Try another tracker like 1337x or even better try to get in some private trackers. Alternatively get usenet (paid service)
How does a casual user get on private trackers or usenet.
You can start off with myanonamouse, they have applications every Wednesday and Sunday iirc. Very easy to get in, simple questions too.
I bought myself into one through donations. Sounds kinda stupid, but those 20 bucks are worth the 5 years of high availability, secure and insane fast torrenting that followed (and are still going on).
Something something IP for those who wonder.
