The only legitimate reason fans still chase torrents is offline archiving and bitrate fidelity. Hardcore rokeros want the FLAC files (lossless audio) to store on their NAS drives forever. They don't want to rely on a monthly subscription to hear "La vereda de la puerta de atrás."
However, even for FLACs, torrents are obsolete. Sites like Bandcamp (if the label permits) or buying used CDs on Wallapop for €2 each is easier than verifying a torrent signature.
Here is the reason the torrent search is dying: Streaming has won. torrent discografia extremoduro completa verified

So why the torrent?
Because a torrent is possession. A torrent is a hard drive folder named EXTREMODURO_FINAL_REAL that you will never delete. It is the security of knowing that when the internet goes out, or when Spotify removes that obscure B-side due to a licensing dispute, you still have “El paso del trueno” in FLAC format.

There is also the economic argument. For decades, Spanish rock fans have felt a quiet resentment toward the majors. Extremoduro started on DRO, then moved to Muxxic, then to Warner. The money from that 2019 “La ley innata” vinyl reissue? Most of it went to logistics, not to El Robe’s pension. When you download a torrent, you tell yourself you aren’t stealing from the artist—you are stealing from the corporate middleman.
Is that true? Partially. El Robe is not starving. But the session musician who played the cello on “Yo, minoría absoluta”? He might have appreciated that euro.
