Install, login/register, share your data then search. Filter the results by file format, sort by download speed etc. Soulseek is a very old file sharing platform, work the same way since 2001. A lot of peers don’t allow downloading from them if you don’t share anything.

For Android I found SeekerAndroid, never used it.

I dont read a lot, but i could download from there, yes.

If you visit enough russian warez sites you will learn what Скачать means. Usually that’s the second language of the pirate world after broken english.

For books my first stop is Anna’s archive

I have these bookmarked:

Yeah, I can’t go into too much detail, but we have to filter certain things.

Unfortunately I can’t listen to podcasts. If I only listen to something without visual stimulation my mind start to think about unrelated things, and I just can’t follow what they speak about, I loose track after a while.

Before podcasts there were radio talk shows, I hated them similarly, and I tuned to another station where they were playing music.

There is a very good documentary about Aaron’s life: The Internet’s Own Boy

Thank you for adding NSFW flair. Noone should see the word “r*ddit”
