I mean movies and tv shows. I know it is alive but can you find stuff that you can only find on private trackers for example and how is the speed on average?

On Reddit (and probably other places), “Linux distros” or “ISOs” was a roundabout way of referring to porn.

Not just porn anything related to piracy is referred to as Linux distro it is to avoid subreddit being banned.

I understand your paranoia, but it’s impossible to answer a question if you don’t ask one.

Linux distros can’t be pirated. As for TV shows and films, Usenet > Torrent > WWW

Or so I’ve heard.

Yeah I might be a bit paranoid, on reddit usenet it is very common to refer to pirated content as linux distros. I edited it again, but with movies and tv shows. I guess I picked it as a habit with how frequently I use the reddit Usenet subreddit.

I do use usenet but dcma takedowns are very quick these days that new movies get removed very quickly, is IRC better in this aspect, also I don’t have private tracker and public trackers are noticeably worse than usenet in terms of release groups.

If you’re seeing loads of takedowns, maybe it’s time to look for a new provider, because from what I’m seeing everything is still healthy AF.

I’ve never had an issue with finding movies or shows on Usenet, to the point that I’ve stopped looking elsewhere for them to save time when running a search. It’s likely just you have a shitty provider.
