The Public Information Archive (aka the crowdfunded torrent server dishing up all the stuff the Epstein Regime deleted) has been going strong 24/7 since August 2025.

21 new torrents of fresh endangered data have been added. Learn more: https://lydie.cc/data.html

The amazing story of the Pirate Bay:

The Pirate Bay Remains Resilient, 20 Years After The Raid.

"Instead of shutting it down, the raid propelled The Pirate Bay into the mainstream press, not least due to its swift resurrection. The publicity also triggered a huge traffic spike, exactly the opposite of what Hollywood had hoped for".

I am looking for a shirt.
In 2014, btdigg.org did a fundraising campaign selling Black unisex shirts presumably with Btdigg on them, on the now-defunct platform Ink to the People.

Only 2 were ever sold.

I know it's an extreme longshot, but if you or someone you know had one of these shirts, I'd be interested to hear from you.
It's just a curiosity, nothing more, so I won't expend too many resources investigating this.

I don't know if there are any Lemmy or Reddit communities which would be a good place to ask.

Please boost for reach.

A #torrents #torrenting question.

Anyone know if https://uindex.org/ is safe ?

Something I *love* about things like #RSS/#podcasts, #radio (both physical and internet), or #torrents is that I don’t *have* to ask “permission” to use them.
No account, no access control, just install a client.

And then if, and only if, I feel like it’s worth it, I can use more centralised services that extend the experience. But I can always go back if I change my mind.
I use a cloud drive service to sync my feeds across devices, but I could easily move to a self-hosted solution.

oh no animetosho is shutting down next month😭😭 it was so convenient to discover #anime torrents: it had a search, and individual shows pages where you could see all the torrents per season, and filtering and sorting, and searching inside a season - all i could wish for anime #torrent agregator and everything so convenient😔
it took torrents not only from nyaa, but from some other sources like tokiotosho, nekobt and others
they will release all the data and source code so maybe someone will set up an alternative after the shut down, i hope so
i will warmly remember that site, wish the developer has his rest and opportunites for new projects🙏

(only now i realised it also has links to traditional file sharing style downloadern like you click "download" and the browser downloads a file but who even needs this when there are #torrents which are so much superior to that)

I love torrents, not because they let me pirate films but because it is the obvious way to share large files

In case your someone who uses torrents to download Linux distributions, and you've just installed a new Linux distribution, and you've lost all your Transmission data for all the Linux distributions you want to seed to others....

Check out https://cross-seed.org

It scans your hard drive for the ISO files and searches each of the sites you're a member of for the .torrent, then automatically re-adds it to Transmission, when setup and run once from the CLI.

I think the general use case is, you download a distro from somewhere else, you can seed it on another site. But it works great for this.

Some parents are teaching their kids the good stuff. Just read this in the Minerva discord:
