On ed2k/kad network you have some results
Not in my country. To be a crime it have to be an economic profit. You can share and download music/ tv shows/movies, but not sell it. Software is out. This is it because you pay in advance a tax when you buy an electronic device in case you download a thing.
I use mldonkey, because it have ed2k/kad network too and it is enough for me. Just one program, one daemon.
Caring is sharing, it is not a crime to share things unless there is an economic profit
In my servers I use debian 12, but I think a good balance (stability & up to date packages) would be linux mint in my opinion.
I recommend debian 12 works like charm
I am still using ed2k/kad network, never stopped in nearly 20 years!
I started using tv time a few years ago before justwatch started, but sometimes I check it to know If I have to download or it is in the service streaming I am paying for.
You have soulseek, ed2k and dc++ too
