What makes y'all torrent instead of DDL? I read in the megathread that DDL is less likely to get you caught, but a lot of people on here seem to really enjoy torrenting and I must be completely clueless as to why. I'd like to have your insights

DDL links will eventually go down, and it's a single point of failure, once down the file may be lost forever.

Torrent is much more resilient long term.

Not strictly torrent. But I still use eDonkey Network, and it's healthy as hell, even as all projects are almost abandoned, as long as someone it's using it you can share. The power of p2p

Where do you find stuff on the eDonkey Network?
