    I recently setup magnetico and tuned its crawling to not be super disruptive to my network (ISP’s shitty router doesn’t have enough RAM to maintain a stateful firewall for NAT for all the sockets magnetico likes to open).

    And slowly, I’ve been accumulating torrent hashes. In a couple of months, I’m up to 118k+. I’ve considered trying to merge in other people’s magnetico databases. The point is to maintain my own search for torrents to avoid the the whack-a-mole that stupid governments play with torrent search sites.

    A buddy of mine swears by usenet and uses a pretty cheap option for access.

    All of that said about piracy: Support creators in your life. Cut off parasites.
