Not a server solution but it's not a desktop app. On androids there's Seeker that does an excellent job of connecting to the network and downloading what you want.

You will not get banned for not sharing. What actually happens is that some people have scripts to see if you're sharing, if not they refuse you access to their files until you start sharing. That has to do with each individual and nothing to do with the network itself, other than the fact that it gives you the option to deny access.
Nobody stops you from uploading stuff and sharing it. But certain communities like for example private trackers have a process to allow you to become an uploader.
As for money, ask yourself, it's piracy, which by definition means that you want to download stuff without paying for them. Why would they pay you instead?
There's a few cases that it worked before but is generally frowned upon, as if holding the files hostage. Now if it's a service that nobody else can do, or files that nobody else has laying around or easy access to buy and share for free, you could try that. Again, nobody stops you, but most people wouldn't see kindly to that. From leechers to other uploaders.
It's definitely worth it. I had it for years and it worthed it just to stream stuff, but the functionality that let's me bypass limits of hosting sites is just a bonus. Now I don't have to sub for every damn file sharing site under the moon.
I'm pretty sure those immigrants have more interesting stories to tell than a billionaire. Just saying.
Living your entire life in a warzone or in inhospitable environments that force you to leave your family behind and getting drowned while the general society ignores the underlying problem seems more worthy of questioning than a billionaire trying to go sightseeing thinking their money shields them from nature. I'd post a clip of a movie that fits here perfectly, but the clip is not on youtube, for anyone interested, look up 'whatever works' with Woody Allen there's a newspaper scene at the beginning of the film.
Anyways, apparently they're dead. Now to move to more important issues in society.
I finished the original Crash trilogy on ps1, now I'm playing Odyssey and will continue with the rest of switch Mario re-releases. After that, I'll probably start n64 with Zelda and move up the ladder to switch Zelda games. Or I skip Zelda and move to some ps2 platformers.
I do have full 1g1r collections set up, up to ps1 and top 100 for the newer systems that I want to play most of, especially now that I found retro achievements. It's time to do so that I don't have.
I'll keep that in mind and wait. And if say a month from now things look the same on the subjects I'm interested in, I might give it a try at building something or most likely start posting stuff on existing but slow communities. At the very least, covering news wouldn't be that hard and even if there's no interest I can still use it as a personal repository later down the line.
I doubt my s9+ is going to work well, even if it falls within the requirements. But will give it the good old college try.
Edit: Still on the old one here, will have to wait for the mainline and I'll post results then. For reference as it is now, even something as simple as FFVI runs at 15fps.
Not wanting to spam by replying to every post, this one is an answer to both TheOneCurly and solarvector. It seems I also figure out how to tag, yey me.
So you're both saying that this is normal and not something I'm doing wrong, right? In that case, that's fine with me, I can wait and totally understand the lack of numbers, I just assumed that even before reddit decided to fold over, there'd be some stuff around, even on niche communities. I wasn't expecting a huge amount of content or discussions, but in the example given, there's not even news posts about updates on software etc.
I'll keep looking around. Seems interesting as a concept so far and I'm much more willing to spend time in lemmy compared to reddit or twitter or whatever gets plastered on my screen daily without my consent that I have to go out of my way to not interact with.
14 days. Still waiting on Dead Space. Almost five months. :D
But honestly, if I found someone reputable selling modded consoles, rather than picking someone random at etsy, I'd be their income for a year or so. After finishing my Roms and redumps collections, getting modded and working (to refurbished standards) hardware would be the next step. I love emulation but I much prefer original hardware if given the option.
But I suck at soldering and hardware modding/fixing in general. I don't even care if games are included, just give me the option to pop an HDD in on some quality modded console and I'll be happy.
