Are most of you using Torrents or Usenet? (lemmy.ca)

I'm a bit surprised to see so many torrent posts. Are most people still using Torrents? Are most piracy users aware of programs like sonarr or radarr?

When I was living on campus at uni 9–10 years ago we had only 5 GB data per month* but we also had a DC++ LAN with all the other on-campus students which didn’t count. It was semi-endorsed with a wink and a nudge by the inter-college IT people, and was an absolute dream for grabbing pirated movies and TV shows.

* this thankfully excluded a whole bunch of shit including government websites, uni sites, and anything from Google, including YouTube, so it was very possible to stay under. I think it went up to 20 GB in my second year.
