A few months ago I grabbed this torrent from rarbg, and it took weeks to download. Often going days with no seeders.

I finally got it, and decided I’d seed beyond my usual 2x to help others get this. Then rarbg went under, and now I think I’ll just keep this one going.

    Worth it for the Gbps download speeds. I can download two 50+ GB titles, install them, decide I don’t like them, and uninstall 'em, all in under an hour.

    Not to mention that you need a VPN for torrent clients (and not Debrid), so at the end of the day, you’re paying for piracy regardless. So it makes sense to just go with the cheaper and faster option.

      I’m from eastern europe. VPN is not required here because the law doesn’t care about online piracy. A VPN only slows down my internet speed.

        I’m from Western Europe and they don’t care about online piracy either. Only some countries are problematic, like France I think, with that Hadopi thing.
