If this is the wrong place to post please direct me elsewhere of course.

I’ve been less active in torrents etc for a the last couple years so I think I’m probably out of the loop on this tbh.

I have a couple of TV series/versions of series I’d like to share occasionally but it seems so few of the public torrent sites accept submissions (or require you to be a big name or upload a certain quota per month etc), I’m not sure where to post the torrents. In the past I had anonymously uploaded at TPB but that doesn’t seem to be a thing anymore.

Any advice/suggestions?

    This is something I’ve thought about too. I have some rare items on old DVDs that should be preserved. I’d love to upload it to Archive.org, but I’m hesitant because I don’t know if personal identifiers get attached to the media.

    If I use a program like MakeMKV to rip my DVD to a computer, how do I check the file if there’s any personal identifiers? I’m aware I can right click and pick “Remover Personal Information” or whatever in Windows, but is there anything else that would attach any hardware identifiers to it? I want to preserve some of these discs since they’re long out of print and the company that distributed it is no more and you can’t buy this anywhere. I just don’t want my uploads to be linked back to me.

    Maybe you could try ed2k/kad (emule/amule/mldonkey), soulseek or dc++ networks. Just drop the files in the sharing folders and seed. My preference is ed2k/kad.

      It’s crazy to me to see so many people recommending these. I remember thinking ed2k was old when Kazaa and Morpheus came out.

      I was looking at this page and it brought so much nostalgia. The days of viruses, “proggys” in Yahoo chat (I missed the AOL train), being a young teenage script kiddy on the Internet… That was the best time of the Internet for me. You could do and say anything and never felt like there was a panopticon watching you to slip up at any time.

    Demonoid allows uploads, they also happen to be open signup right now see the other community !opensignups@lemmy.ml

    at TPB but that doesn’t seem to be a thing anymore.

    See their forums, they have instructions on how to apply for an account there https://pirates-forum.org/Thread-New-TPB-accounts-available

    There are a bunch of other public torrent indexers that you can try to apply for uploading but it doesn’t always work out e.g. TorrentGalaxy, 1337x, GloTorrents, TorrentFunk, YourBitTorrent.

    SolidTorrents / BitSearch does allow adding torrent hashes into their database without an account.

    See the earlier posts, lots of discussion, I also have a list going in the last linked post that you are free to test and comment back on what worked for you :)

      To whoever wants it, I guess?

      I have some 1080p versions of shows that I manually upscaled that simply don’t exist anywhere else for example. I just wanted to put it out in case someone wants it, I seed my stuff for super long just to get it out there.
