Is that true? Most of the best public trackers got shut down. Anything left has bots recording your IP and you're getting a letter from your ISP.

If you're not on a private ratio tracker or paid tracker it's basically a non starter. So I'm not sure about unaffected era the last 10 years have been brutal for pirates via torrent.

    If you’re torrenting without a VPN you’re doing it wrong. Also you should look at Usenet instead.

    What's the situation with usenet these days ? I preferred nzbs over torrents for several years but it just became impossible at around the time nzbmatrix chucked it in.

    Better than ever! Seriously.

    Indexers like NZBGeek, Drunkenslug, and NZBFinder have resulted in me getting almost anything I want, short of some obscure Australia series from the 80s. Providers are doing 2000+ days retention and I’m only using 1 myself, never even needed to get a backup on a different backbone.
