I use a seedbox to run qBittorrent with Jackett, and have a bunch of sources on there. I know there are other methods, but that works for me and I’m comfortable with it.

Rarbg has been gone for about five months and it’s harder and harder to find 4k TV rips. For current shows, sometimes you can get episodes as they air, but it’s rare to see full seasons.

The tipping point was when I searched for a Netflix show from two weeks ago just now, with zero 4K results.

I’ve always hated private trackers since they’re a pain in the ass, but is that the only option now? Do I need to look at a different method entirely? I’ve been torrenting since that existed, but if I need to do something else, let me know.

I don’t expect to get torrent sites in any responses, but you can do that if you have any 😂

It can be about the compression. I know I had downloaded like 4 versions of Your Name because it has been re-encoded by several different groups and sometimes higher resolution with more compression was far worse to look at than lower resolution with good bit rate.

Some people have a magic touch and they just make incredible files and I so want their settings for handbrake when I rip my own media.

Great info. Unfortunately for me, this requires more energy than I’ve got laying around.
