      Thanks for the recommendations 👍. Torrentgalaxy seems like the best option for what I need currently.

        I’m pretty sure you’re meant to copy the “Hash” (long string of letters and numbers) and input it into your torrenting software of choice. On qbittorent you do this by clicking the “add torrent link” button in the top left. However I’ve only got a few things to load by doing this, but that might be a me thing.

      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!

          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?

    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

    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:

    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.

    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 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?

        I haven’t been active in encoding either in years, I just like to have the highest quality I can possibly find, and REMUX you can’t really go wrong with that. Where I download they have full BluRays ISO or the main feature only remuxed in MKV. Trackers I use are mostly IPT, HDBits, TL, TS, and a few others.

    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.
