Saddens me. I mean we are starting to lose good sites; RARBG, ZippyShare and now maybe TorrentGalaxy (and 1ficher?).
True, but like any piracy system there are endless heads to the hydra that pop up every time. 1ficher is a bit worse since those files are gone, but at least mirrors for trackers have some utility in finding old torrent swarms.
Sad that one of my favorite go-to sites for shows/movies is slowly dying. I hope the site gets itself together and can keep running.
Same. To be fair, 1337x and TPB work fine, but idk why I just really liked TGX
I just cannot bring myself to go to TPB in this day and age. It got too mainstream and seems like prime honeypot material now
RIP. Though personally I haven't used them in years since cloudflare was blocking prowlarr.
Flaresolverr FTW!
I've tried! but recently it seems to not work anymore? Github seems to imply it doesnt after my failed attempt (it picked up requests but cloudflare bot protection beats it).
i think there's other alternatives that can beat cloudflare bot detection but now that Ive got access to 2 private trackers I'm not usually picking through public stuff now.
Time to go to usenet.
The beauty of torrents is it’s completely free to use (+ decentralisation rocks). Unfortunately usenet doesn’t have that.
Genuine question...why's this comment getting downvoted?
I use both torrents and usenet in my setup, and none of the usenet sites I frequent have done down like the big torrent sites in recent years. It seems like a reasonable suggestion.
Is usenet the Arch of piracy? Like in every thread about torrents someone jumps in with "I use usenet btw"
I use Arch to access usenet.
I use torrents because they're free. A friend uses Usenet, and while it's a good service, they've got to pay for it.
The first rule of Usenet is: You don't speak of Usenet. They like being kept off the radar, but braggers can't help but bring it up every opportunity they get.
The Sonarr/Radarr/Lidarr/etc team, and their support forums/subreddit are seriously the worst about this. Nearly every question, concern, or request with regard to torrent trackers is met with a smug response about usenet.
Assholes have started exploiting Sonarr's torrent pulling system to trick it into downloading fucking malware on people's computers, and rather than acknowledge this is an issue their users are facing and they should try and do something to help them, they've done nothing, expecting users to deal with it in their clients and through addons. The implication is if you're not using usenet, they don't care what their software puts on your computer. It's your fault for using public trackers.
