Are they for you? Why or why not?

    Finding public torrents for audio books is utter bullshit in my experience. Myanonamouse has a massive selection, is friendly and well organised and doesn’t have absurd rules, just reasonable ones.

    I love the place.

    For anything else not audio book related public trackers work just fine for me.

      I really want to join them, but “sign up with your actual IP” is an unconditional dealbreaker as far as I’m concerned.

      I don’t consider a VPN optional for regular web browsing. I’m definitely not turning it off for something that’s actually Illegal.

      I agree. It’s one of my favourite websites. Not just for the torrents but the community is really great too. The book clubs are super neat too!

      My experience precisely. If I can’t find it on mobilism.org, off to myanonymouse. Btw they’re amazing and the servers cost a ton, small donations make a huge difference

      I’ve never been unable to find films etc that I wanted on public trackers, especially with the search function on Qbittorrent. Don’t see the need for elitist wanks on private trackers

      I doubt they’d even have the obscure stuff that won’t download… Hold on…

      The only one sitting at 0% is “Vacuuming Completely Nude In Paradise”, an odd British film. I doubt even a private tracker would have that

          Yay, one film in the last two years that I could’ve obtained if I had a private tracker instead of public ones

          Think I’ll survive, thanks! 😁

        I don’t even look anywhere else any more for book related content, straight there, I really like it there. Haven’t been using it for long but already donated and will be doing so again when I am able to for sure!

        Replying to say that I will check mine tomorrow. Too late tonight.

        Edit: Mine did not have this film. :(
