Shady how? It ends up being the right place for 99% of my torrents.
Its fine if you know what you are doing. But because anyone can set up a pirate bay mirror at this point, it can be a bit iffy to download stuff from there. I'm in a happy position of being able to use a excellent private tracker, but about once a year I do get something from pirate bay because I cant find it elsewhere. I do feel a bit icky after, but so far, all has been fine. knocks all the wood I can find
Same
I was getting something from TPB and got an email from Nintendo when I forgot to turn on my VPN.
Did Nintendo email you, or did your ISP forward you a DMCA notice?
oh yeah now that I think it was a forward from my ISP about the Nintendo DMCA notice?
I mean that has nothing to do with tpb but just you not force binding vpn adapter to your torrent client
I've never torrented with a VPN. I guess nobody cares in South Africa
Lol let them email as much as they want. I'm not Gary Bowser.
