Will I get caught if I use Telegram for downloading pirated content in Finland?

I read that closer to Helsinki you recieve letters with threats more often than on the north, so I am thinking how to avoid using torrent to download a game...

OdysseySearch - TUI torrent meta-search + Real-Debrid downloader (open source)

https://preview.redd.it/lytleosyxljh1.png?width=833&format=png&auto=webp&s=81923ec67bf32fb54dcb082fa37d4dc371464357

Hey y'all,

I recently made a python project that will connect with your real-debrid (for now I have only this debrid service) and it will automatically search 10+ torrent trackers and download the file you chose. It filters scams and bait torrents, deduplicates torrents to make everything clean and all that stuff are happening without your ISP knowing.

GitHub: OdysseySearch

P.S.: If you like it leave a star too ❤️

Gay-torrent.org

Hi, feeling so lost since the site went down. Any suggestions for alternatives? I liked everything about that site, the fact that videos were recent, that it had an amazing selection of non-porn movies and shows and magazines....looking for something similar please

PIA Vancouver server users, how are your seeding speeds with port forwarding on?

Thinking about switching over to PIA mainly for port forwarding (currently on AirVPN). Since none of PIA's US servers support port forwarding, Vancouver looks like the closest/best option for me (West coast US).

For those of you actually running Vancouver with port forwarding enabled, how are your real-world seeding speeds, especially on private trackers where you're trying to hold a good ratio/seed time rather than just grabbing a file and dropping off?

A few specifics I'm curious about:

  • What upload speeds are you actually sustaining while seeding multiple torrents at once, not just a single download test?
  • Does it hold up consistently, or does it get noticeably worse during peak hours (evenings especially)?
  • If anyone's compared Vancouver to the Mexico City server (the other nearby PF option), which one's actually been faster/more stable for you?

My setup: qBittorrent running in Docker on an Unraid box, mainly seeding on private trackers with minimum seed time requirements, so consistent upload matters more to me than peak download speed. Appreciate any real numbers or experiences, trying to figure out if this is actually going to be an upgrade over what I've got now.

Where can I find torrents for Indian TV shows? Both new and old.

I just want the name of the website or blog—you don't need to share a link. Thank you in advance :)

DVD ripping vs torrenting quality

I've seen online that DVDs are only about 480p. All of the 720p or 1080p version of a show I want to download are all basically dead, so I saw my library has a DVD of this show.

My question is, if I get this DVD set and rip it, would it just be the exact same as downloading a 480p version online?

Japanese authorities use new tool to identify initial torrent uploaders — anti-piracy group says it identified seeder on popular anime torrenting website without torrent swarm monitoring

Well it seems cops are using hackers to figure out a primary seeder and arrest the primary seeders for the theft of the copyrighted material shared.

Windows is blocking every single torrent software I try to install

Windows blocks me from installing torrent software like uTorrent, BitTorrent and the likes. There is a Reddit Post form 5 years ago explaining how to bypass it. But this doesn't seem to work on Windows 11. Anyone knows how to bypass it in 2026?
