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 😂
I think it’s about audience. People who care about quality and bitrates and such usually have their couple of private trackers. People who just want to watch things regardless of quality just get whatever
That’s what I’m asking. Until recently, one didn’t need to bother with private trackers unless they wanted, say, a 4K rip of Suspiria from 1977, or some other incredibly specific thing. Private trackers, at least to me, were more trouble than they were worth. Why should I deal with them at all when I can get everything I need without begging for an invite and then annoying myself?
As a result, I have never joined a private tracker, not ever.
But now? I’m not sure. Something does seem to have changed systemically.
There are semi private trackers out there that you can get an invite fairly easy, as do open signups pretty often.
You don’t need to think about it too much, as most 4K content usually crosses the trigger for freeleech. That means you are fine as long as you don’t do a Hit ’n Run, which in itself is an asshole thing to do.
I have a fully automated system and don’t even bother checking where I am downloading from, or what my ratios are, all is taken care in the background.
Do you mind if I ask more details about your system?
The whole Arr suite, plus others. I have a 24/7 low power machine running the following on unRAID with containers:
- Radarr
- Sonarr
- Prowlarr
- Overserr
- qBittorrent
- a VPN container
- Recyclarr
- cross-seed
- qbit manage (this is key)
- unpackerr
- autobrr
I have more of course but this is what’s relevant to you.
I also have some custom scripts for patching some things up to my like.
Where is the best place for Debrid users to find 4k content since private trackers are a no go for us?
- hdencode org (best public one)
- rlsbb ru
- scene-rls net
Thank you very much!
