    Speaking of which, if anyone has an invite to spare for a good private tracker, please DM me. Private tracker I used since highschool has finally lost the plot.

      How much do private trackers improve the experience? My friend that pirates says he hasn’t had any problems with public ones yet.

        I mean downloads basically limited by your bandwidth, usually the highest quality (like blu-ray rip 4k, almost no compression) etc.

        But if you don’t have issues, well probably don’t bother.

        Another thing if you aren’t using a VPN (which you probably should), they’re safer, as well… they’re private.

      If you’re willing to spend a bit of money to pirate, just go with usenet. I was a private tracker guy for years, but I got sick of keeping up ratio when I mainly wanted shit that wasn’t super in demand. Have been so much happier since I made the move, and my downloads finish much faster than they ever did before.

          Prowlarr and nzbget are the two containers I run that handle actually downloading things, and sonarr/radarr for automatic media management.

          For usenet, you need to get a provider and an indexer, and those can be gotten for just a couple bucks a month. Honestly, well worth the expense.

        Right on brother, I’m already on Usenet, mainly looking for a private tracker as a next to last resort.
