What is your go-to sites after torrentgalaxy went down?
You can use any torrent client with search included. For example: qbittorrent, frostwire, etc...
Anyway check FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH! https://fmhy.net/videopiracyguide#torrent-sites

aMule 3.0.0 The 'alive again' version - Major aMule release in 5 years
Reply in thread
As a protocol is worse in everyway that BitTorrent.
No it is not. Please don't talk about shit you don't know. If anything it was too ahead of the time since the internet speeds available at the time were crap (for example compare the emule's 9MiB block with the original 512KiB from bittorrent), and also it was the first one to bring almost all the concepts that bittorrent uses.
People complain about the lowid, but at the same time they want to run it without opening ports to external connections like they do for bittorrent. Fortunately there's already a emule mod (emuleai) that allows lowid to lowid. Hopefully amule will follow it soon.

Signal registration without a phone number now available in Android beta (but payment required!)
People using apps that store their data in silos... As fair as i know signal business model isn't sustainable. Let's see how much they'll cry when signal will start charging for basic usage.

Need explanation about Usenet
usenet is decentralized at server level. In theory all the servers have the same content. Currently everything is obfuscated because of the take downs - so you need an indexer (the users upload the nzbs to that website. Think of a nzb like a .torrent file.)

here you have gtk-gnutella screenshots:

Btw, gnutella died (it will never die because of the way it works, but it's a shell of what it was) because of the fake files (the DHT and magnet links appeared to late - with this the downloads can be curated), and because of the clients implementations. This last one was the gnutella downfall - There's the open protocol and then each client started to implement their own features making and giving priority in the connections between them, making almost subnetworks - kinda the same that happened with XMPP.
BTW 2, those slides are not up to date. The gnutella search as it is described in those slides are for gnutella 0.4. The protocol is now in version 0.6 (and probably won't be updated anymore) and it has now supernodes - kinda lika kazaa. Gnutella (mojito), emule (KAD) and bittorrent have DHT.

Maybe they would invent nothing, but at least we would get rid of the anti-vaxxx people.

Making eletricity is easy! We just need magnets.
Now to make magnets it's the hard part. We need magic!

emule is not slow. It's really fast (with emule client). You just need to have high id. The lack of clients is an issue and amule although it works is crap (it's really slow and the dev doesn't acknowledge that - there's some problem in the download queues...).
If you don't want to use emule, use gnutella - namely gtk-gnutella. It supports magnet links (as long as they contain the bitprint hash), integrated search, windows, linux and mac, and it's fast (since there's no queue management, it depends on the uploader speed). The only problem is the lack of files being shared.
Or better yet, use shareaza. It supports bittorrent, emule, gnutella, g2 networks. There's the problem of not being developed anymore (there are some forks, but they are mostly dead) and the bittorrent support is not the most up to date, so some trackers block it.

IRC is nice if there aren't many people. Otherwise you get stuck in queue for downloading the file. That's my biggest issue with it. I only use it as last resort.

usenet is p2p: server p2p. The servers share the articles between themselves in a p2p manner

so you can share your library in the file structure you want, then collectively seed files with the same hash.
So... .... .... emule and gnutella? Both have DHT and that's how they work...

There litteraly were slaughter by the police,
I stopped reading here. The last data that i have from 2021 says that there were 37 kills by law enforcement in France alone. Compare that with the 57 from canada (same year, 2021, and with a way smaller population).
I won't be wasting more of my time with a muslim shill.
I'll just leave this here:

undefined> The absolutely massive advantage of BitTorrent over older networks is that current downloaders (leechers) can share the parts they have already downloaded
This is not true at all. Bit torrent as protocol didn't brought any new concept to p2p. Bit torrent didn't invent download swarms or sharing while download (even the gnutella clients do that). Bit torrent won, because emule was ahead of it's time and was too greedy. The bittorrent block is 512KiB while the emule is 9MiB. Emule appeared in a time where ADSL was started to be rolled out, and before bittorrent, so the internet speeds and connectivity were not the best. Since the block is 9MiB, the users needed to download first 9MiB in shitty speeds before starting to share. Also people wouldn't realize that the network implements a credit system, so you need to upload (ideally to the person from who you are downloading from - the upload credits aren't global) otherwise you are going to the bottom of the download queue. This would cause a bottleneck in the speeds. Btw, emule continues to be used massively (not as bittorrent but more than 200k users)
