I’m a bit surprised to see so many torrent posts. Are most people still using Torrents? Are most piracy users aware of programs like sonarr or radarr?

    I see multiple private torrent tracker users in here. I primarily use Usenet, but is anyone willing to shed some light on the private torrent scene? Wouldn’t mind having a backup for anything that fails on Usenet but don’t have a clue where to even start research on good/reputable private trackers.

      I’m on 4 private trackers. (All invite only, none currently available)

      My experience has been pretty good. They’re all relatively niche, and have a surprising ly deep library within their interest.

      For me, the only drawback is that some days there can be a small group of seeders (and occasionally none) on certain files. But that can change day-to-day.

      But the biggest bonus, I’ve never had to worry about getting a copyright warning on any thing I’ve got from any of them.
