Welcome to /p2p/, the dedicated peer-to-peer thread for /tech/ and the bunker for /t/orrentfags. What is P2P? Peer-to-Peer technologies allow decentralized networks to share data. They can be used to bypass oppressive government regulations on speech or to download the latest seasonal anime. What are my options? First and foremost is BitTorrent, a common protocol where files are split into chunks which are then shared via swarm, which works to get everyone a copy. There are many BitTorrent clients out there, and everyone has a personal preference. Some are owned my corporations and full of spyware. It's recommended you use something open source, like Deluge or qBitTorrent. Won't my internet get shut down? If your ISP is cucked then they might, but thankfully there is a solution. Use a VPN! Don't trust any VPNs that advertise all over the place. What is IPFS? IPFS: The Interplanetary File System us a protocol designed to help decentralize the web as a whole. It works like a distributed filesystem where you can pin files you like and others can access them. https://ipfs.io/ What is I2P? I2P is similar to IPFS in that it is a distributed network which holds files and other information for access outside of regular channels. Entire websites can be mirrored and accessed via I2P. https://geti2p.net/ This thread is for discussion, questions, and recommendations regarding peer-to-peer technologies and filesharing. You may also offer, request, or trade invites to trackers. Also consider this the /tech/ Share Thread.

I can vouch for using Deluge. It's small and pretty good. Recently I learned from an anon here something called CreamAPI which lets me unlock already-installed but inactivated DLC in steam games. If it works, I won't have to torrent that shit which would be nice.

This is slightly off-topic, but I recently stumbled upon this site: http://www.oldgamesfinder.com It's not P2P, but it seems pretty convenient. It's fast, it doesn't require javascript, it just works. I got a decent copy of Rayman from there. I found it on https://wiby.me so even if you don't like the site, I hope it reminds people that there are interesting sites that are perhaps not so easy to find on google.

Where to find cracks for Loonix vidya?

Anonymous 06/15/2020 (Mon) 11:18:02 No. 454

>>448 If you want cracks of Linux native games, Razor1911 is the only guy I know who does them. You're going to have to resort to GOG releases or break out a bottle from the cellar otherwise. As to finding the games, as mentioned in >>392, try out qbittorrent's search feature, and reddit.com/r/piracy (I know it's reddit, but its wiki is quite comprehensive). I can give you some good advice when it comes to this: do not get CODEX cracks. They use VMProtect, which obfuscates their cracks' code to prevent people from doing reverse engineering on them (megapropietary software, if you will) and because of this, games with their cracks don't work at all under Wine. I'm not sure what's the deal with Fitgirl, but >her repacks don't decompress fully and get hard stuck halfway through installation. Nobody mentioned any possible cause for this, but they never worked for me and for many people. This was for older Wine versions (late 4.x, early 5.x), Wine moves rapidly so feel free to try both of these out on the newest versions, but don't expect them to work.

Anonymous 06/16/2020 (Tue) 02:23:17 No. 462

>>454 >repacks don't decompress fully and get hard stuck halfway through installation One way I found around this was to unpack them in a Windows VM. The ones that wouldn't unpack on wine for me unpacked well in the VM, and then just copying the unpacked folder back to the host and using wine to run the game worked fine.

They quiz you to see if you've read the FAQ. If they don't have what you're looking for then it's probably rare or there are no pirated copies floating around.

Anonymous 08/07/2020 (Fri) 23:12:49 No. 897

>>896 Conventional wisdom. If they're advertising, it means their primary motivation is profit. They want more users and more money. Many of these VPNs have a hundred times as many users as smaller VPNs but charge two or three times as much. The purpose of VPNs like Nord or PIA is not to protect your privacy, like they claim, but to get around region-locked content. This is fine for normalfags who are dumb enough to effectively double their Netflix subscription for the privilege. The ones that advertise are always bringing new servers online with fresh IPs to avoid attempts to log which ones belong to them. Smaller ones do not do this; the fact that it's coming from an IP that is a known VPN is enough to secure privacy. Maybe they have logs, maybe they don't. They will aggressively deny it publicly. But it means if there is ever an attempt to grab information or force them to do so, they would rather toss you to the wolves than lose their income and shut down.

>>897 VPN's best functionality is for piracy and using it for sites that don't support Tor. While paid VPNs grant anonymity from your ISP, the same can't be said for websites you visit because they log your User Agent and Mac Address. Best way to circumvent this is by using a Virtual Machine on top of your VPN connection. You can run Tor on top of your VPN and your VM for extra layers of anonymity. But for imageboard sites like this, using a VPN with a privacy orientated browser will do.

>>964 A virtual machine won't protect you from websites recording your user agent. Use Links2: it has an in-built feature that allows you to spoof the user agent. Otherwise though, a virtual machine is good for preventing hardware fingerprinting (unless you tell your hypervisor to use the same hardware as your real hardware, which would be stupid and defeat a lot of the privacy that can be gained from using virtual machines).

Anonymous 11/09/2020 (Mon) 16:43:04 No. 1763

>>1736 Keep in mind spoofing your user agent isn't a silver bullet unless you're changing it with every request and also masking everything else. Not having fingerprints can often identify you more accurately than having generic ones. The benefit of a VM in this scenario is that things like fonts, resolution, plugins, etc can all be sandboxed to not represent your actual environment. These checks make it easy to identity you, and they're not locked down because nobody considered it a security risk to let sites identify your font catalog. Using a text mode browser can help, but not supporting features outright can also be logged and can probably identify your browser, and thus you, more easily. You need to mask your true software while blending in with the biggest crowd. If you look like a standard Chrome on Windows user then you stand out far less.

Anonymous 12/31/2020 (Thu) 09:53:01 No. 2094

>>2087 There's also fewer reporters. Many public torrents have organizations which run bots and send automated letters to every IP they connect to. Those go to your ISP and sometimes they'll penalize you. Private is less risky when going raw. The good ones all adapt to VPNs, though. They can track you without needing your IP, although most of them will block sign-ups over a VPN so they have at least one "real" IP on record. I think they mainly care about ban evasion, but it's a risk if the server gets seized.

I2P can import/export reseed files. Yggdrasil pretty much requires that you manually specify peers to connect to (for the first hop, anyway). ZeroNet will work with pretty much any tracker you throw at it. What does Tor have if the indexing servers and dirauths go down?

It doesn't seem to work straight-up with the standard tunnels, and modifying the code to set the proxy in urllib.request.Request fucks up something else, presumably with the HTTP requests, so peering stops working for TOR and straight up stops the entire thing from running for I2P. Anyone solved this already or am I the first to try this?

>>392 I like BiglyBT's searching capabilities. It lets me scrape and search the DHT, and has RSS support. I think you can use it to search trackers in the same way as QB but I never have to. I just search the DHT, and if I get no results I can set up a "subscription" which just repeats that search and stores the results while I'm idle. There's also a swarm merge plugin that does this automatically with files you're downloading so if one of your torrents only has X% availability it automatically suggests other torrent files it found that have the same file in it. So you might end up finding 2 torrents with 50% and merging them together to fix the swarm for both of them. It also ships with i2p support out of the box if you ask for it, which means extending those searches beyond the clearnet. I never stop seeding my torrents but I stop seeding them on the clearnet at 2.0, and I'm sure others do the same. Among a ton of other shit. It's one of the oldest clients and its modular so a bunch of plugins exist around automation, search, etc. >>4458 I host a node but honestly never use the thing for search. I think I spend more time looking at its cool statistics graphics more than anything else. It's a good idea though so I contribute my disk and bandwidth to it for now.

Bitmessage is a fully decentralized communications Protocol, Meaning that it cannot be shut down and you cannot be banned from it. Every message is encrypted, so that means that your ISP cannot see what you do in the network. You can also route all your traffic through tor on bitmessage making you anonymous. You can join channels called chans where many people can communicate with each other, you can also send pictures.
