I haven’t used whisparr, but have you checked the logs, or this is just a hunch?

There is plenty of music you can’t find anywhere.

OPS and RED are music private trackers. Their names are Orpheus and Redacted.

You can get into them through interviews, or invites. But if you want to get into any private tracker, at some point you will have to do the interview

For music you can try rutracker. The site is all in Russian, but you can index with Prowlarr or Jacket.

Also, you can try joining OPS or Red if you care for lossless.

I’m in Soulseek, and it’s rare when there is something there and not in RED or OPS. Also, slsk sucks with the speeds and quality of content.

If you have a spare server, install navidrome and get rid of streaming services.

So basically they were just blocking you at the DNS level? Probably, you were getting the same treatment as anyone else. Unless, their DNS server pointed you to better Netflix servers or cached content…I don’t know.

I usually do VPN, or I do get the initial sign in, and then switch to VPN to do whatever I want.

You arguest don’t some?

Join MAM

Use docker with something like gluetun and run transmission docker sharing gluetun network.

lat-team in my opinion is the best tracker for content in Latin American Spanish.

I have owned several kindles over the years. I switched to Boox and I love it. I can’t go back now.

There are always rules. Typically, in most trackers, you are required to maintain a ratio > 1, but there are ratioless trackers where they don’t care about the ratio. Also, you often have a minimum seeding time required meaning that you need to seed the content for X amount of hours (X varies from tracker to tracker). But it is not a big deal, because in private trackers you don’t have hundreds of peers connecting to you, therefore seeding doesn’t necessarily mean they are going to choke your bandwidth.

If you need to build upload buffer (to improve your ratio), private trackers also offer Freeleech content, and seeding bonuses that you can exchange for virtual upload data. So with some time and little patience, you can download from PT anything.

But again, each tracker has its own rules, and at the end of the day, these rules make the tracker better for you and everyone.

Private trackers are typically free and run by donations. In private trackers there are rules to follow. Most of them targeted at maintaining quality and availability of content. You get there through invitations or interview. You reputation in other private trackers help a lot when you want to join other trackers (you follow the rules).

Also, since the process of getting in a private tracker is harder, this helps keeping out bad apples. So the harder the tracker the more “secure” you are of getting copyright complaints. But there is always the risk.

Have you heard of “Navidrome”? you can be your own Spotify. It also supports transcoding. For instance, if you are on a phone connected to data, you can set the bitrate to 128kpbs to save some data.

using Spotify is much easier… until they delete a few tracks from your playlist.

Mam?

If you’ve seen the questions they ask, and the answers people give.

Surprisingly, the “stop protesting” is winning the vote.

Thanks for the tip.

Are you Netflix?

Is there something in there you want? Why don’t you just sit and enjoy getting most of their content from torrent? For the best of everybody I prefer the methods are not widespread so release groups can keep doing their job.

I went to check. There are 3 new posts and the answers to questions are so lame LOL… I refuse to answer questions over there with any value…

I came here to say the same. Thanks.

Then this is no replacement for VPN…

Thanks.

Can you only seed to people on i2p?

It doesn’t matter if you get 1.0 ratio on FL downloads. Anything counts towards your upload buffer. By auto downloading FLs I’ve made a buffer of about 2TB since I joined on Christmas.

When there is free leech and seeding points you don’t need to be racing. with patience you can build enough buffer to download what you want. In TL the bonus points are capped though, so with autobrr you can make some little upload buffer on every new FL torrent.
