4 months in my database takes up around 50GB; for the size of a few hi-res movies it’s worth it for me…

How’s it better than Jackett that is scanning public trackers? Can you find something you wouldn’t find otherwise? I understand the problem Bitmagnet tries to solve, but to me the problem is rather hypothetical than real.

Can you find something you wouldn’t find otherwise?

Yes, quite a lot of content that’s otherwise difficult to find on the public trackers. Also public trackers can be shut down.
