I’m a very casual sailor, and not very tech savvy, but I’ve torrented and used magnet links in the past with no issues.
I found the file I’m looking for. But things have changed. The site I used doesn’t provide magnets anymore, only Rapidgator links (split into 5 rar files, this is going to take me days) for direct downloads .
Every other link I found sends me to torrent trackers I need to create an account for, such as RuTracker. Which I tried, and with different emails, (brand new emails) yet every time I get rejected. Why? What am I doing wrong? Do I need to wait a couple of hours after creating the account? Are the sites not accepting registrations anymore?
Finding sources for some things can be tricky and is quite a case by case situation. If you aren’t sailing much lately take a look at the megathread if you haven’t already for updated resources and tips.
