Honestly, I’d try slsk (through the program nicotine+ ideally). There’s shit up there that I’m straight up surprised to find quite often, just make sure to put like 1,000 files (can be almost anything, fr) in your share folder before you begin downloading or the bots will get ya, and hope that the only copy isn’t from some cocksucker that [Private]s all his files for trades like a true scumbag (also, if you see those people, ban them from your files. However If they just mark [Private] and don’t specify trades, they may just add you if you PM them and are sharing stuff yourself, those guys are ok). I also put my downloads folder in my share folder to just automatically re-share everything I get until I need to clear space (unless I choose not to reshare a file and I save it somewhere else of course). You can also set a wishlist in case someone with a file matching your description comes online at a later date if you can’t find it right then.
If you’re looking for a few specific ones I can check a couple to see if they’re up there real quick, no problem.
Wow haven’t heard of nicotine+ or slsk before. Is that P2P ala soulseek? I’ll definitely have to check it out.
Will probably happen later rather than sooner, ever since RARBG peaced out I’ve been slowly working on installing the arrs for my server and importing my libraries. And that is already taking a significant amount of my free time lol.
Yeah it’s basically limewire but still alive and actually good lol.
Understandable, super easy to set up fwiw, just install nicotine, create your acct, create a share folder with a download folder inside it, tell the program where those are on your pc, and the “hard” part (which you said “server,” so you’ll be fine) forward a port and tell nicotine what it is in the settings. Bang, done, download away.

Should work fine through a VPN as long as everything is forwarded right ya?
Also appreciate the in depth explanation/help! I’m already like 3000% more active on Lemmy than I ever was in 10 years of reddit lol
Yeah. My vpn just ended port forwarding, too, but it says it’s still open on the client, who knows lol.
No prob! And hell yeah lol.
