      Meh, they can’t really get any wins, it’s like a man trying to fight a tsunami, they’re only gonna hurt themselves.

        How so? They’re mainly targeting big ones and mostly succeeding (which concerns me). If only small ones remain then we’ll be seeing a more fractured pirate community, well need to go into more sites to find what we need, and most will be walled off to majority of the public through private trackers or hidden chat communities. Which will then make it harder for possible new pirates to get into. Numbers are one of the things protects pirates. There are so many of us to prosecute us all, but if the community walls itself to the outside world then there will come a time that there will be few users left that targeting each them will become possible. (the most prolific ones, that is)

          well need to go into more sites to find what we need

          I set up Jackett last week in qbittorrent and you need to too. Holy hell what an upgrade, no longer do I need to travel around to different sites to snag a torrent, just search from within my client, it’s beautiful! I’m not even done, I still have to add my private trackers, and it’s already no going back!

          I know the *darr automatic stuff is out there, but I like picking my shit manually anyway so I haven’t bothered with all that. I use qbits auto management though and like to pick my folders and tags and have them all set based on where I got the torrent or whatever.

              100% agree but if they’re not using the *arrs they probably won’t even notice the difference.

                I use prowlarr for manual searching, not with the *arr apps. I always found jackett too buggy and slow for manual searching.
