Honestly, im scared to get into piracy because im afraid of getting in trouble or failing, basically im worried for no reason. I also have some random questions about piracy.

should downloaded things be put on a internal or external hard drive. Because my external hard drive can be weird at times and i know some files required them to be installed internally.
is there a way to help out the piracy community without breaking any rules or breaking the bank?
are direct downloads safer or torrent, or something else?

that is all i have at the moment but feel free to add on to this if you wish too.

Doesn't really matter imo. Internally maybe slightly faster, maybe some games require internal, but i run games on my external, loading may go slower unless you have a nice chunk of ram.

What do you mean by safer? Both can be dangerous if it executes code. If you mean getting caught torrenting leaks your ip address (hence why people use vpn)

If you dont want to spend money there is i2p, set up an i2p router, configure a browser to use it, http://2.postman.i2p is a tracker there, just paste the magnet into i2psnark, no vpn required.

Note it will be much slower download

So I installed the i2p Android application but can't figure out how to access i2psnark. Is it accessible from within the Android i2p app?

Did you install i2p or i2pd?

If it is the java version (not i2pd) you would access in browser like this http://localhost:7657/i2psnark

But idk if it works on android

Hmm, thank you for the suggestion. I'm wondering if I'm having issues because my i2p shows ipv4 as firewalled.

Hmm, i think you can work with firewalled. Mine shows as firewalled. Have you configured your browser to use the http://localhost:4444 as http proxy?

If you have try to browse to the following addresses:

http://localhost:7657 (this is the i2p router webui and if it doesnt load then either i2p is not running or is in a broken state)

http://localhost:7657/i2psnark (i2psnark is built into java i2p and if the previous link loaded and this one doesnt then you dont have snark, which may simply be a limitation of androidl

http://notbob.i2p (i just picked an i2p site, this one is an index of multiple i2p sites. If it doesnt load but the first one does, then your router is not working properly or your browser is not configured properly)

http://localhost:7070 (if this loads then you have i2pd installed instead of the java version, i2pd is not built with snark)

I suggest you install i2p on a computer as all this stuff works out of the box

Thanks for all the help! I think you're right; this is probably much easier on a computer.
