Thanks for the recommendations 👍. Torrentgalaxy seems like the best option for what I need currently.

How do you download from here?
Usenet. Usenet. Usenet.
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.
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.

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.
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
Use Jackett to search many free trackers at once. BTDig is also good, but as just a simple DHT search engine, it won't tell you the health of the torrent.
Jackett or prowlarr. I’ve used both and prowlarr has been easier and more reliable for me.
You can also use qbittorrent’s in-build search.
qbittorrent also support Jackett as a plugin.
Torrent search engines that crawl the DHT seem like they'd be the least likely to be taken down, as they don't host any torrent files or run their own trackers, they simply crawl the torrent DHT directly for magnet links.
Here are my two favorite DHT-based torrent search engines:
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 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
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.
Torrentgalaxy and 1377x is are doing fine for me
Isn't 1377 is garbage/malware one and 1337x the correct one?
Yes
Didn't even know there was one without the x.
Private trackers as I only get remuxes.
I used to care about that (when I did recodes and releases), but I haven't been active on that front in years. Do they have just rips? And what trackers?
I haven't been active in encoding either in years, I just like to have the highest quality I can possibly find, and REMUX you can't really go wrong with that. Where I download they have full BluRays ISO or the main feature only remuxed in MKV. Trackers I use are mostly IPT, HDBits, TL, TS, and a few others.
I usually go to 1337x or TorrentLeach. It depends on the release date and type of movie though.
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.
Radarr is awesome.
I always go to torrentgalaxy and 1337x
Private trackers and some public trackers as a fallback. I rarely browse them directly though, mostly using Sonarr and Radarr, and I use Prowlarr for configuring trackers.
I don't actually have that much free time on my hands, but thanks for the recommendation.

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.
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?
Could help you with the NAS thing, I have one set up at home (custom setup, not using any of the NAS solutions available online).
Usenet + Indexers.
What Usenet provider are you using?
Newshosting. Have been using them for a few years now.
Rarbg is gone?
What happened? When?
Hello guys, We would like to inform you that we have decided to shut down our site. The past 2 years have been very difficult for us - some of the people in our team died due to covid complications, others still suffer the side effects of it - not being able to work at all. Some are also fighting the war in Europe - ON BOTH SIDES. Also, the power price increase in data centers in Europe hit us pretty hard. Inflation makes our daily expenses impossible to bare. Therefore we can no longer run this site without massive expenses that we can no longer cover out of pocket. After an unanimous vote we've decided that we can no longer do it. We are sorry :( Bye
