Any hints for an elder pirate trying to find a good torrent site? My buddy was kind enough to give me an invite to a decent provider but that was maybe a decade and a half ago…
My elderly ass just barely figured out linux, so you can see how behind I am.
downloading torrents is very 2010s. Now we use Stremio app with torrentio plugin (or MediaFusion, or Comet). You get streaming from many torrent sites. Works on ios, android, many tvs, pc, whatever. There’s tons of other addons too like trakt.tv integration, etc.
If you setup RealDebrid (paid, but cheap) thats even better, it acts as one big server with massive library of torrents, but provides very high download speeds, so you don’t need to worry about dead torrents or lack of seeders.
I watch 4k movies without any problems.
Try Usenet and a Usenet indexer. There are multiple guides on the internet on how to set up and use it, even automatically with some r-apps on a home server.

The trick is to sign up to private trackers. Sometimes they have a open signups period.
Use qbittorrent. It has torrent search and download integrated.
Oh interesting, I have qbittorrent but have always just used it to on torrents I downloaded from a website. I’ll look into this, thanks!
I guess you have to change somerhing in the program options in order to make the Search tab visible

Well that seems just wild! I’ll be looking into it this weekend, thanks, much appreciated!
It’s an absolute godsend. It’s a Netflix like experience for 3€ a month, only you get every content from every streamer there is
This seems so crazy good. I’m looking forward to spending some of this weekend researching and hopefully trying it!

arr-stack is the secret weapon.
But for starters just a usenet client, a good usenet indexer and VLC are enough.
Recommended Usenet provider: astraweb with a block account. Buy 1000 GB for 50 €$ and use it over time for years without any subscription necessary.
Neat, I’ve vaguely heard/seen the term Usenet but haven’t looked into it, will do so! Thanks!
