I’m pretty sure you’re meant to copy the “Hash” (long string of letters and numbers) and input it into your torrenting software of choice. On qbittorent you do this by clicking the “add torrent link” button in the top left. However I’ve only got a few things to load by doing this, but that might be a me thing.
Yea I’ve been using torrentgalaxy aswell. They seem to have a newish release group called “infinity” I think. There releases are very similar to the HEVC ones RARGB used to do. Still miss there clean layout tho.
About two or so years ago somebody on Reddit was saying it’s basically a honeypot for catching people torrenting. But I have nothing to back this up and possibly my memory isn’t accurate either. I’ve just avoided it since then though.
I’m sorry, I’m not plugged in enough to give you the rundown. Certainly plenty of people still use it without issue but last time I tried, I could only access it through mirrors. I also vaguely recall them only offering magnet links when my setup requires .torrent files for reasons that aren’t worth getting into because I expect they’re weirdly specific to my setup.
I wouldn’t deny or argue that. I was under the impression that it just had more pitfalls than other sources these days, which led to it no longer being the go-to source it once was.
I haven’t noticed any pitfalls, but some other sites have fancy looking interfaces, and they might organize things in a fashion that you find more convenient. In other words, it’s a question of what features you want and where you can find them.
Lots of the providers are just re-sellers, and will be hit with the same DMCAs equally. By- choosing providers from different “roots”, you can mitigate this issue.
Usenet is very nice for home use. I used it for years. SSL encrypted, no need to use Bittorrent over VPN. Always max download speed. The parity part was annoying on a HDD but now that I have a Gen5 NVME it is incredibly fast.
I’m back using the same setup on a Seedbox and private trackers. I share access to my media library and I have Ombi setup so my family can add their own things to Sonarr/Radarr. Since it’s on a 50Gb connection it can handle bittorrent with no issue so I don’t bother paying for Usenet.
“once you go usenet, you will never go back.” true.
Been a torrent kiddie since the old days and thought this was the end all be all of online availability of stuff i want.
Friend of me got an unlimited account on fastusenet and let me hook into it. 20€/y for a very nice german & international newsgroup forum with unlimited API access that was made with sonarr / radarr in mind.
I can and don’t want to ever go back…it’s blazing fast, whenever i find something, i can be certain that it’s there and ready for download; Unlike torrents… just bcs u got a magnet doesn’t mean there are enough seeders. And then it takes sooooooo long. On usenet i get my 350mbit/s and it can even be unpacked while being downloaded.
That way i can request a movie and watch it in ~20min even if it’s a BR-REMUX that is like 80~90GB
i use usenet and torrents interchangeably and use a seedbox for my private trackers or to store things i don’t need now but maybe in future. i plan to set up a NAS in the future but right now working off 20 harddrives across a couple of PCs to have ease of access.
however i would love some advice on sonarr/radarr - does anyone have any user-friendly guide on how to set this up?

I use TorrentDay and 1337x. For the weird things that aren’t on either one, I’ll check aiosearch and grab it from whatever has what I’m looking for.
1337x has started requiring you to sign up with your email address before you can download. Not today, FBI
yts .mx
Good quality for the lower size, which is still important to a lot of non westerners, but they also don’t look great on our 70’+ screens.
I’ve found P2P as viable and have switched to Usenet.
70’! I’d love a 70 foot screen.
Yeah, I watch movies on a laptop now, so… not really into quality any more.

Torrentgalaxy and 1377x is are doing fine for me
Isn’t 1377 is garbage/malware one and 1337x the correct one?
Didn’t even know there was one without the x.
Yes

where’s the download link of torrent?

thanks. it worked.
I use TorrentGalaxy to know about the new releases and RealDebrid + Stremio. I think nothing else is actually needed.
Yea I’ve been using torrentgalaxy aswell. They seem to have a newish release group called “infinity” I think. There releases are very similar to the HEVC ones RARGB used to do. Still miss there clean layout tho.
Edit: new to me at least.
It is missing the clean layout, but being able to search specifically for TV Series Packs is really handy
I gave up on visiting torrent sites. They’re all horrible to navigate. I just use the built-in search in qBittorrent (including Jackett).
To figure out what I want to get, I use metacritic.
Is the pirate bay not good for this? I was surprised I didn’t see them mentioned.
I don’t think TPB is strictly recommended for anything anymore, I could be out of the loop on that.
Wow I’m definitely out of the loop. Any reason why?
It’s basically the wild west nowadays, totally unmoderated.

As a simple matter of fact, many people are still recommending TPB. It gets the job done a lot of the time.

Perfectly valid. I used to use TPB a lot back in the day but now I find pretty much everything I want on 1337x.
Radarr is awesome.
Usenet. Usenet. Usenet.
I just started using Usenet in March. I use FrugalUsenet as my Provider and NZBGeek as my Indexer. Anything better I should consider?
My only recommendations- look for usenet providers hosted in the netherlands. They have been the most reliable.
Also, if you use multiple providers (improves reliability), make sure to get providers from different parents.

@iorale@lemmy.fmhy.ml why the disagreement?
Would love to hear your feedback.
Why’d you tag them? You were able to see who downvoted you?
Yup. It’s all public information, easily accessible.
Nothing on lemmy is really private.
Comes in handy. Especially to determine that ONE USER who downvotes literally every comment i make on some servers…
And- yes- it was @nohbdyuno@sh.itjust.works who as usual, also downvoted this comment.
He/She/They is my dedicated follower I suppose.
how do you access it, though?
Easy way- just look at the post on kbin. It shows upvotes/downvotes.
Harder way- just query the database.
It’s probably too complicated for a lot of people who got used to using torrents or they just don’t know what they are missing out.
Eh, one they get radarr/sonarr/lidarr setup- it does EVERYTHING for you.
The only downside, you do need a usenet account, which costs a few bucks. But- once you go usenet, you will never go back.

I happily pay for that!
Which German forums can you recommend? Would like to check it out as I cannot find any German content on public trackers.
I am only using Usenet, so now idea about good german torrent trackers.
but for usenet its:
houseofusenet scenenzbs
The only time I ever even consider using torrents, is for an obscure piece of content which I cannot find on usenet.
And even then, I do it all manually. There is too much “bad” content hosted there.
Edit- Please ignore my random downvote. nohbdyuno really… loves downvoting my comments for some odd reason.
How do you connect it to the *arrs?
The forums I use have APIs and I can enter those in the indexer settings of either prowlarr or directly in sonarr/radarr
Does that forum/indexer also have spanish content? German seems to be rare also. But that’s for both Usenet and BitTorrent.
Yeah it’s rare 😅
No Spanish as far as I can see 😔
Too bad. But thanks!
I always go to torrentgalaxy and 1337x
Anything wrong if I have been using 1337x for my torrents? 🤣
Not wrong per se but rarbg was probably the best open tracker when it came to well-encoded film/TV releases. Excellent moderation.
It sucks that it closed then.
i use usenet and torrents interchangeably and use a seedbox for my private trackers or to store things i don’t need now but maybe in future. i plan to set up a NAS in the future but right now working off 20 harddrives across a couple of PCs to have ease of access.
however i would love some advice on sonarr/radarr - does anyone have any user-friendly guide on how to set this up?
I’ve recently started using Rats Search, basically a p2p torrent indexer. I don’t want to bother with private trackers so this is pretty much perfect.
How can I download this?
Click that link there, scroll down to where it says ‘download’
I usually go to 1337x or TorrentLeach. It depends on the release date and type of movie though.
