    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 just started using Usenet in March. I use FrugalUsenet as my Provider and NZBGeek as my Indexer. Anything better I should consider?

      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.

    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.

      Hello guys, We would like to inform you that we have decided to shut down our site. The past 2 years have been very difficult for us - some of the people in our team died due to covid complications, others still suffer the side effects of it - not being able to work at all. Some are also fighting the war in Europe - ON BOTH SIDES. Also, the power price increase in data centers in Europe hit us pretty hard. Inflation makes our daily expenses impossible to bare. Therefore we can no longer run this site without massive expenses that we can no longer cover out of pocket. After an unanimous vote we’ve decided that we can no longer do it. We are sorry :( Bye

    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.

        It is missing the clean layout, but being able to search specifically for TV Series Packs is really handy

    Is the pirate bay not good for this? I was surprised I didn’t see them mentioned.

    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.
