hi, so I got somewhat decent speed on my plan atm.

mega is usually what I go for, that gives me max speed dl, but recently got myself a 4k tv and now I wanna dl 4k only content lol. mega have 5gb limit and I gotta switch servers(vpn) every 5gb which is annoying. I think gdrive has put limits also. I love ddl but I think as a free user we are screwed.

torrents, free, I think is wishy washy with speed. I have some experience but if I go this route its best to leave overnight on a laptop and hope for the best the next day that it has been dl'd.

Usenet I got block account sitting there for ages. probably the best speed and no limits from memory. but gotta use my block account which is paid :(

any1 have better ideas? tx 4 reading. feel free to msg me if you don't want to share ur super duper secret 😛

usenet, just get an unlimited plan not a block account.

Private torrent trackers.

maybe consider alldebrid or real-debrid. Both allow for instant high speed download from ddl sites (also cached torrents).

I like usenet but you need a good provider and a couple good indexers. Eweka is what I found to be most complete (wait for holidays theyll run a 3 dollar a month deal), others have blocks DMCAd.

if you want iptorrents tell me and ill dm you the invite. decent speeds (dont give them any money though).

they all have copyright removals. nothing special about eweka in that regard. might take an extra day or two but still the same problems. if you are even remotely close to automated it wont matter who you use.
