Good IRC Servers for Piracy

Hello all,

I've heard many times that IRC can be incredibly useful for piracy, but I've never tried using it. Can someone recommend some IRC servers that I could join? I'm especially interested in joining servers that distribute TV shows.

Thank you!

  • What issues do you have with ReVanced? It works great! The only thing that's kind of a pain in the ass is that if you're rooted using KernelSU, you have to repatch the app every time you reboot. Fortunately I usually only reboot once a month when the new OTA gets released for my phone.

  • What is Swarm Merging?
  • Well, I might have to try it for the torrent that I'm trying to download. Merging may not be effective for most cases, but in this case, this peer was the only one that managed to get a full copy of the torrent content. They disconnected before I could grab all of it though, so now I'm stuck at 50%. :(

  • What is Swarm Merging?
  • That's awesome! I suppose it might also explain why this torrent has been sitting in my queue for several weeks and is now suddenly at 100% from this one seeder. Do you know if the process is automated? Or does the user have to do the work of finding the torrents with matching files themselves? It's a bummer that qBittorrent apparently doesn't support it.

    Every now and then, when I'm connected to a torrent a peer will connect that has a reference to "Swarm Merging" in their name. What is swarm merging?

    Can usenet be used for free?
  • Got it. I was just took a look at the RED interview prep site, and I'm afraid my knowledge of digital audio is far too limited for me to pass it. I'll take a look to see if I can find something elsewhere.

  • **this seems to be the theme of the season mateys**
  • I had no idea that this list existed, and even without it, I don't see any of these popups with uBlock Origin. I was an AdBlock user for years until about 9 months ago when I made the switch after learning that uBlock Origin was more robust. Apparently the devs of AdBlock have a policy against blocking ad block detection because they consider it to be unfair to website owners.

  • **this seems to be the theme of the season mateys**
  • I'm not so sure that this is anything to worry about. It's just another step in the game of cat and mouse. Is it annoying? Of course! But if/when it goes mainstream, ad blockers are just going to push updates that make it possible to block the ad block blocker. uBlock Origin does a really good job at blocking ad block blockers on most sites.

  • Ohh well that's sad. I didn't know that you could buy your way in. ☹️

    Got it. I haven't used the IPTorrents or TorrentLeech forums at all. I'll have to check to see if they have anything like that.

    Do you know of any private trackers that specialize in software? I'm not really big on music piracy, and as far as books go, everything I've ever wanted is on LibGen, so I don't know that I'd be meaningfully contributing to either of these trackers even if I did get in.

  • Can usenet be used for free?
  • Aww that is very sad. :( Why are these two dead ends for getting in to others? Is it because they are "easy" to get in to? In the case of TorrentLeech I can understand since they apparently do open signups now and then, but as far as I know, IPTorrents never does open signups and you can only get in through an invite.

    I can totally understand prohibiting invite selling, but I don't understand why invite trading would be considered illegitimate. I would think that it would be a great way for good users on private trackers to help recruit each other. For what it's worth, here's a screenshot of the IPTorrent invitation rules. They make it sound like invitations are only for people you know in real life, but that isn't how I got mine, so it's not like that rule is very strictly followed.

    I have never heard of RED. It sounds like they have an "interview" process where they ask to review your history on other trackers? My IPTorrents ratio is pretty good because most of the stuff that I download is Free Leech, so maybe that would be enough to get in?

  • Can usenet be used for free?
  • I've been on IPTorrents for a year but only used it when I couldn't find what I wanted elsewhere, but in the weeks following the shutdown of RARBG, I've been relying on it much more. I also got in to TorrentLeech when they opened signups for RARBG refugees and I like it.

    So, based on that, I guess Usenet isn't worth it? I'd much rather try to use my footing in these two private trackers to get access to other ones. Perhaps I should be asking if there's a good place to do invitation exchanges? I have three IPTorrent invites that I'd be willing to exchange for invites to other trackers.
