For Searching Torrents
Thanks for the recommendations 👍. Torrentgalaxy seems like the best option for what I need currently.
Usenet. Usenet. Usenet.
It's probably too complicated for a lot of people who got used to using torrents or they just don't know what they are missing out.
Eh, one they get radarr/sonarr/lidarr setup- it does EVERYTHING for you.
The only downside, you do need a usenet account, which costs a few bucks. But- once you go usenet, you will never go back.
"once you go usenet, you will never go back." true.
Been a torrent kiddie since the old days and thought this was the end all be all of online availability of stuff i want.
Friend of me got an unlimited account on fastusenet and let me hook into it. 20€/y for a very nice german & international newsgroup forum with unlimited API access that was made with sonarr / radarr in mind.
I can and don't want to ever go back...it's blazing fast, whenever i find something, i can be certain that it's there and ready for download; Unlike torrents... just bcs u got a magnet doesn't mean there are enough seeders. And then it takes sooooooo long. On usenet i get my 350mbit/s and it can even be unpacked while being downloaded.
That way i can request a movie and watch it in ~20min even if it's a BR-REMUX that is like 80~90GB
I happily pay for that!
The only time I ever even consider using torrents, is for an obscure piece of content which I cannot find on usenet.
And even then, I do it all manually. There is too much "bad" content hosted there.
Edit- Please ignore my random downvote. nohbdyuno really... loves downvoting my comments for some odd reason.
Which German forums can you recommend? Would like to check it out as I cannot find any German content on public trackers.
Usenet is very nice for home use. I used it for years. SSL encrypted, no need to use Bittorrent over VPN. Always max download speed. The parity part was annoying on a HDD but now that I have a Gen5 NVME it is incredibly fast.
I'm back using the same setup on a Seedbox and private trackers. I share access to my media library and I have Ombi setup so my family can add their own things to Sonarr/Radarr. Since it's on a 50Gb connection it can handle bittorrent with no issue so I don't bother paying for Usenet.
I just started using Usenet in March. I use FrugalUsenet as my Provider and NZBGeek as my Indexer. Anything better I should consider?
My only recommendations- look for usenet providers hosted in the netherlands. They have been the most reliable.
Also, if you use multiple providers (improves reliability), make sure to get providers from different parents.

Lots of the providers are just re-sellers, and will be hit with the same DMCAs equally. By- choosing providers from different "roots", you can mitigate this issue.

I use TorrentGalaxy to know about the new releases and RealDebrid + Stremio. I think nothing else is actually needed.
Yea I've been using torrentgalaxy aswell. They seem to have a newish release group called "infinity" I think. There releases are very similar to the HEVC ones RARGB used to do. Still miss there clean layout tho.
Edit: new to me at least.
Use Jackett to search many free trackers at once. BTDig is also good, but as just a simple DHT search engine, it won't tell you the health of the torrent.
Jackett or prowlarr. I’ve used both and prowlarr has been easier and more reliable for me.
You can also use qbittorrent’s in-build search.
Torrent search engines that crawl the DHT seem like they'd be the least likely to be taken down, as they don't host any torrent files or run their own trackers, they simply crawl the torrent DHT directly for magnet links.
Here are my two favorite DHT-based torrent search engines:
Torrentgalaxy and 1377x is are doing fine for me
I've recently started using Rats Search, basically a p2p torrent indexer. I don't want to bother with private trackers so this is pretty much perfect.
I use TorrentDay and 1337x. For the weird things that aren't on either one, I'll check aiosearch and grab it from whatever has what I'm looking for.
Private trackers as I only get remuxes.
I used to care about that (when I did recodes and releases), but I haven't been active on that front in years. Do they have just rips? And what trackers?
Anything wrong if I have been using 1337x for my torrents? 🤣
Not wrong per se but rarbg was probably the best open tracker when it came to well-encoded film/TV releases. Excellent moderation.
I usually go to 1337x or TorrentLeach. It depends on the release date and type of movie though.
I always go to torrentgalaxy and 1337x
Radarr is awesome.
Is the pirate bay not good for this? I was surprised I didn't see them mentioned.
I don't think TPB is strictly recommended for anything anymore, I could be out of the loop on that.
As a simple matter of fact, many people are still recommending TPB. It gets the job done a lot of the time.
I wouldn't deny or argue that. I was under the impression that it just had more pitfalls than other sources these days, which led to it no longer being the go-to source it once was.
I gave up on visiting torrent sites. They're all horrible to navigate. I just use the built-in search in qBittorrent (including Jackett).
To figure out what I want to get, I use metacritic.
Private trackers and some public trackers as a fallback. I rarely browse them directly though, mostly using Sonarr and Radarr, and I use Prowlarr for configuring trackers.
I don't actually have that much free time on my hands, but thanks for the recommendation.

Good quality for the lower size, which is still important to a lot of non westerners, but they also don't look great on our 70'+ screens.
I've found P2P as viable and have switched to Usenet.
70'! I'd love a 70 foot screen.
Yeah, I watch movies on a laptop now, so... not really into quality any more.
