A few months ago I grabbed this torrent from rarbg, and it took weeks to download. Often going days with no seeders.
I finally got it, and decided I’d seed beyond my usual 2x to help others get this. Then rarbg went under, and now I think I’ll just keep this one going.

God, back in uni with free electricity and internet in the dorms, we managed to seed over a terabyte of data before IT got suspicious and turned off that port. Then we seeded over slower wifi until they turned the port back on next semester, haha. Good times.
That was where we learned that the pirated copies of stuff were easier to find, higher quality, and worked on hardware that websites declared “too old” to stream their content. It all started when we had a bunch of people over to watch a movie, and Amazon refused to play it on older hardware. It instantly converted half a dozen people to piracy, lol.
Like Gabe Newell once said, piracy is a service problem.
The last two things I pirated were No One Lives Forever, a game that’s completely delisted on all storefronts, and Ratchet & Clank, because Sony can’t figure out how to add the PS2 versions of games to the PS5 and I refuse to stream it (data cap) or lug around my PS3.
Both I would’ve purchased legally had they not made it a pain in the ass.
