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?

    I’ve given up on p2p. Too much risk and threatening letters from my ISP.

    I made the switch to Usenet and private NZB trackers years ago and it has been great. Sometimes it may take a while to locate more obscure stuff, but eventually things show up. Even obscure made for tv movies from the early 1980s.

      Honestly a vpn negates the risk of letters from your ISP, I’ve gotta bother to find another decent one now though since mullvad removed port forwarding.
