I'm just not confident that I'd be able to pass an interview with either of them. No issue with rules or ratios, I simply don't have enough time to study up on the technicals. I used to be on a decent tracker years ago, but didn't pay enough attention when they shut down and missed out on the open invites.
I've tried RuTracker in the past but it hasn't worked very well for me so far. Soulseek sounds interesting, especially if they get a Lidarr integration working.
It's really not that bad, both interviews are nearly identical, and both sites provide all the study material necessary. If you really want to get sneaky, you an look up the questions in advance. You get a reasonable time to answer, and an unlimited number of attempts. OPS I passed immediately, RED failed me the first time but passed the second. 50-60% of the answers I had no clue about before reading the study material. The worst part is waiting for an interviewer / the queue to get a test, but they've got systems to keep your place in queue as well.
There’s no soulseek integration yet, but that would be a game changer, the collections in there are incredible, especially when trying to find EPs, singles and rarities. We’ve been waiting for a good long while though.
In the meantime, it’s a lot of work to build a collection, even with lidarr, torrents, semi-private, private trackers and usenet.
For soulseek, I’d recommend setting a blackhole torrent client that points to the soulseek download folder, them always make sure you download the folder not the files from the share. That will make importing the files a lot easier into lidarr if you choose to keep that as your centralized download tool.
There are also extended scripts for lidarr that will pull music from various sources as well.
