I think we are playing a very long hide and seek game with torrent being so reliant on trackers and web indexers/communities, they close some, others pop up, and the users are dispersed, and younger generations never learn how to pirate. In the long run we are losing.

I think we really need a fully peer-to-peer search mechanism, integrated to torrent client, and despite the difficulties, I think it is possible to have something that is permissionless, yet safe, based on a distributed, Sybil resistant, reputation system.

I think tribler search feature is a good start, but its tor-like privacy features makes it too slow, preventing its widespread adoption (and given the search is basically trusting the peers, it would be overwhelmed with garbage if it became mainstream).

Been on same private trackers for over 10 years. I can explain the tech and get even the most iPhone user in the younger generation torrenting with full arr stack in an hour if they have a spare old laptop.

Containers made the process beyond simple. My fully automated (except requesting shit in Seerr) setup would've taken years of writing scripts back in my day. I can rebuild it in a few hours today. Fewer hours with Ai.

Several hours to set up

Explain to most iPhone users

You really over estimate the average iPhone user
