What's the deal with ebooks and torrenting/downloading?

How much torrenting did you have to do to get an ISP complaint?

i've downloaded hundreds of books from libgen and never heard anything from my ISP. You are fine.

Not OP, but I downloaded one movie at a friend's house a few years ago and they literally shut his internet off for it. Made him call to get it back and running and called it strike one. Shit seems ridiculous now, but then again I was rolling in the bad old days of Napster and limewire.

I got one maybe 7 years ago and one about a year or 2 ago. I was usually downloading at least 5 music albums at a time when I did torrents. But this was only occasionally, maybe once a month or less. Both times they got me for one specific album, usually something newer.

Torrenting books is an impossibility unless you only read the "classics" or ultra popular trash. I can't find a single niche book on there that I want.

Napster? So they shut down his dialup?

I once downloaded porno at my fathers house because he had really fast internet. Got a call a few days later from him asking if I downloaded porno. Very awkward moment.

use avax search, just google it for the latest mirror. Also use Vity's free rapid to dl from the links without going through the ad bait.

avaxsearch dot pro is confirmed to work, usual mirrors are nitroflare and rapidgator, which are slow as shit but the filesizes are ~5mb so it doesn't matter much. If it doesn't have a free rapid plugin it's a fake link.

Avaxsearch is basically like rs.Veeky Forums used to be like back in the day, except not porn.

I've been torrenting everything for years with no VPN, hundreds of movies, thousands of songs, books, video games, programs and I never received anything from my ISP

Depends on the country you're from.

Bro, I can't possibly imagine they can catch you pirating like that. Honestly, the state law isn't guilty that you are too IT-illiterate to prevent getting caught.

How do retards like this even find Veeky Forums. You seriously require help finding free ebooks?

Can you please send me an invite to bib?
I've been trying for months, for fuck's sake

github?

No, even though I have invites I'm not risking my account for some unknown from Veeky Forums. Get in the same way everyone else does. You're looking at 3 months of legwork but just do it already.
google github free books

I won't break any rules, my man. Upload 100 torrents and permaseed them, I know.

PLEASE

I don't know you so how could I trust you.

Damn, alright man

Kek the unwashed masses will never enter bib

It's because it requires minimal effort. Meanwhile I'm sitting comfy with massive buffers on the best private trackers. Feels bretty good.

Bib is just endless programming books anyway.

MOMMY

That's not the point user. Having a bib account means you are better than these PLEBS who don't have one.

>being too poor to afford to buy books
lmao

trackers are for paupers

If I like it enough I'll buy it in physical form. I'm not wasting my money on something that I mightn't like.

Its mostly movies and music that will get you busted. Especially if they were recently released. I suggest against torrenting anything newer than 1.5 years old from its release date.

No one gives a shit about books to my experience

>private torrent trackers like bib*****
wait what

It's called stealing, ya goof, and one of the Ten Commandments forbids it.

>oh noes I'm worried that the feds will bust me for stealing a tiny digital file that is physically only available secondhand in some musty basement store in some random city

>oh noes law enforcement might enforce the law

How often is Amazon going to let you do that haha

don't torrent, if your cunt monitors such things you'll get fucked eventually. it's not publishers coming after you, it's the law coming after you.

Can I get an invitation, please? I'm poor :(

But libgen is literally the largest collection of ebooks there exists

Yeah, it's one of those cases where it deserves to be on both babby-tier and GOAT-tier categories.

Forum.mobilism has regular dl and plenty of books.

Are all you people here computer illiterate? Jesus Christ. In fact you might be wholly illiterate

Third-worlder here, can confirm ISPs don't give a shit

>mama
>just stole a book

From what I have heard they catch you from when you are seeding after you've downloaded the material, they track you from that and then "prosecute" which I mainly just warning trying to scare people, which is insanely ineffective which leads one to question their reasoning, it must be a legal step they have to take towards actually drawing blood from the stone. You wont get in trouble for downloading off libgen or anything like that because you're downloading directly from a source and not sharing it yourself.

>what is registering

Sharing your IP is not a security risk in any sense.

> I've gotten a couple letters in the past from my ISP for torrenting other stuff.
Top kek. Are you trolling or do you live in North Korea?

>doing the amazon trick of returning ebooks for a full refund
after a few times doing this it no longer gave me a refund, instead prompting me to call customer service. so proceed with caution

fyi most of the stuff on bibliotik comes from libgen. #ebooks takes way too long and most of that you can find on libgen anyways. bib is useful for recent publications. aaaaaarg is good too. i've found things there that werent on bib or libgen
