It’s interesting how scared some people are of pirating when the amount of people charged for downloading/streaming is so few it’s barely significant.
I used to pirate games and software. Then came the ransomware, and the crypto stealers.
So I'm afraid of pirating certain things, but not because of the IP issues.
Which is why when I made a game once upon a time I released checksums for the official files. I wish Running With Scissors would consider doing so as well.
Me and my kids love playing Starbound! It's a great game.
I appreciate it!
Just finding a bittorrent client without giving my machine digital herpes gutworms is non-trivial these days.
qBittorrent is what I've been using since uTorrent went to shit. Well there was a brief period where I used Transmission but it's so feature-limited.
Thanks! It's a hassle to figure out which client is the sane one every 5 years when I setup a new PC.
I suggest downloading it from ninite so you can be sure you are getting a good copy of it
Get an open source client like qBittorrent, kTorrent, rTorrent or Transmission
Deluge and Transmission have been good to me. I don't need all the additional features of qBittorrent personally.
If you live in a country where VPNs are needed in order to avoid fines, you may want to use qBittorrent for its ability to bind itself to a VPN though.
I believe Deluge has the option too, but not as convenient as qBittorrent? I'm not sure.
I heard i2p is also good can always recommend the piracy community on lemmy/kbin
Tixati has served me well for a long time now.
Let's be honest. Your machine likely already has digital herpes thanks to it's OS.
