So far, public trackers have been working fine for me, but think I’ve finally run into some niche shows that have been hard to find or only been able to find individual episodes instead of a single collected season torrent. (Nothing too special, just some baking shows.)

I’m wondering if it’s finally time to look into private trackers or Usenet.

If you use them, what did it take for you to finally look into these more time or effort intensive piracy options?

A movie you wanted to see that was too old to be seeded on public trackers? TV shows too old or niche? A game, an obscure music artist? Something else? Was it just curiosity? Or something you did immediately upon getting into piracy? I’m just curious myself lol.

    Aah, yeah that sucks. I was using torrentleech before dby, so I had some evidence of seeding stats etc.

    TL is easy enough to get in to though,so that may be an option…even though it’s a bit annoying having to jump through hoops like that.

    Edit: maybe you have stats from your torrent client?

      To your edit: Not anymore. I need to build up my stats from scratch. Because I changed over RealDebrid, and left torrenting behind, now I’m just coming back to the scene.

      I am thinking about setting up a server for it at home, but not my very modest RPi.
