I've been doing it for years but I took a break when Netflix made it more convenient to find content.  Getting back into it now because I'm sick of paying for and trying to hunt around multiple services

Started in the early 2000s but left for many years. Starting to dabble again.

Same as OP - I've been torrenting since I was a kid, all the way up to the Netflix era. But these days I've canceled all my subscriptions and I'm back to torrenting.

Also started in early 2000's around 2003/2004  previously it was Limewire, Kazaa or even DC++.
But then I've completely changed to torrents.

Around 2015. Before that I was using direct download sites for downloading stuff.

Like several people in this thread, I started as a kid, got taught by my dad in the dark days of limewire and Kazaa so 2000-ish I guess. I moved away when I grew older, didn't have time for it but now I'm back. The amount of content spread over too-many platforms is just untenable, especially with small children and their interests being very different to my own

I got into torrenting a few years ago out of curiosity and a desire to find content that was difficult to access elsewhere. As I explored more, I discovered private tracker communities and learned the importance of sharing, maintaining a good ratio, respecting rules, and contributing positively to the community.
