I'm a bit surprised to see so many torrent posts. Are most people still using Torrents? Are most piracy users aware of programs like sonarr or radarr?

I'm using torrents much less since fmovies. I just stream my shows and movies now. Music is also getting harder to find so I went back to Soulseek. For everything else, I'm using Tribler, an open source torrent client using onion routing.

Never heard about tribler . Does it use tor for the traffic ?

I don't think it uses Tor directly, but Tor technology: "a custom built-in onion routing network".

It seems to work from what I can tell because my downloads are not seen by iknowwhatyoudownload.com
