I’ll start. Did you know you can run a headless version of JD2 on a raspberry pi? It’s not the greatest thing in the world, but sometimes its nice to throw a bunch of links in there and go to sleep.
stop manually browsing torrent sites! You’re wasting your time.
Download qBittorrent. Download Jackett. Configure Jackett to work inside qBittorrent. You now have a way to search hundreds of trackers all at once within seconds and find literally anything you want.
I’ve tried just about every type of automated system Sonarr, Radarr fully integrated with usenet and my libraries etc.
After a while I realised I quite enjoy doing things manually. I get to vet the content a little before I grab it, a bit like going to the video store.
You should check out Prowlarr, its like jackett, but integrates better into sonarr/radarr
Prowlarr has a prettier UI but the torrent sites they support are maintained by Jackett. It noone gives credit, at some point Jackett won’t be maintained and Prowlar neither.
Disclaimer: I’m qBittorrent, Jackett, Flaresolverr and Bazarr developer.
Hey thanks for your work. QBT and Jackett are super stable and well done.
Damn, I’m huge fan of yours. Using qBbittorent, Jacket, Flarsolverr and Bazarr in docker. Thanks for your work.
But I never managed to get Jackett plugin to work x)

It has limitations, but qBittorrent is used by 40M users aprox and we are only 3-5 active developers. Managing the open issues don’t let us time to work on new features…
SlavArt Revolt bots are THE WAY to go for high quality music from almost any service
Docker, if you can run it on your hardware (either your normal system or on dedicated hardware) is a Swiss army knife that can help level up your acquisitions, and provides you with an isolated application environment if you don’t want to install the applications directly to your device. For media specifically, there is a suite of applications under the same *arr naming scheme that allows you to index, monitor for releases of, and acquire different television shows, movies, music, and books.
Some container maintainers build in different capabilities into their torrent client containers, such as Binhex’s qBittorrent and Deluge applications, that have VPN connectivity built in, so any network traffic running through that container will automatically use your VPN provider’s WireGuard or OpenVPN capabilities, depending on who you use. Once you have that running and your tags tuned in the *arr apps, you have a headless, mostly independent machine constantly working on acquiring and upgrading your media.
Sidenote: the *arr apps can be controlled by mobile apps like LunaSea on iOS, and nzb360 on Android. The latter can also integrate with your torrent clients.
And if you get it working you can put Docker Experience on your resume
piracy is a latter.
at the bottom there is the person getting a pirated ware physically from someone who copied it.
then steps later there is rapidshare or whatever filehosters still exist.
more steps up are public torrents and trackers.
then there is forums that use a variety of sharing technologies like (private) torrent or hosters.
nzb is next.
then there is irc - which at best is linked to some of the outer ring ftp servers.
ftp servers run by currygroups is next. and they leech from
the core of scene ftp servers.
sure i missed exotic outlets of the piracy latter like ondemandpiracystreaming, ssd-by-snailmail and so on… we all agree vpn is key. i think irc always has worked better than torrent ever and being easier to access thab nzbs.
Get into private trackers if you can and then you won’t have to worry much about any of this.
i’ve been pirating things for ~15 years and still don’t understand private trackers
Same, being elitist about who you share japanese cartoons or whatever with just seems weird.
Google searches show the DMCA takedown notices that list the sites that illegally stream content. It seems to me that if an interested party were to search for something on google and happened to see the DMCA take down notice, they might peruse that takedown request and see a number of sites that might illegally host such copyrighted content - so they know what sites to avoid of course.

Go through plex. Pay some guy to do your dirty work for you.
I briefly looked into this, but then reddit shit the bed :-)
Can you be a little more specific? I’m in Europe. Who do I have to pay to get access to a sweet server? I’m only watching English content.
Thanks!
Download stealth app, go to one of the plex subs and pick one that has a discord linked. Unfortunately the only way is through reddit, but at least stealth app allows you to be 100% anonymous.
Nothing allows you to be 100% anonymous, just FYI.
What I really want to know is what you guys use for getting torrents for entire seasons of shows, or even the entire show at once. I’m not new to piracy, I’m just new to talking about it with people.
We use the *arr suite of software. Search up Sonarr, Radarr and Prowlarr, that will get you started on the right path
1337x or TorrentGalaxy
the classic, ThePirateBay
Anyone got good options for ebooks? Currently got calibre setup but only sourcing my books from libgen. Tried using jackett + readarr but the indexers didnt seem great… is it worth paying for indexers? Which ones?
Follow up question: does anyone have a good source for ebooks in Spanish? currently using lectulandia
Myanonamouse is the best tracker for books, audio or digital.
ebooks, and manga! advice would be appreciated
I recommend tachiyomi for manga / graphic novels for mobile, which is where i read most manga. you can get series from a lot of different sites, add custom sources, and locally download. it rules
Since not many seem to know about it. Plex_Debrid is an awesome program and works on more than just plex!
I use jellyfin, should I be using this instead?
Plex Debrid works with Jellyfin too. You just also need to setup Trakt for the watchlist. As you add movies and shows to Trakt watchlists, plex Debrid will grab them and add to real Debrid and then refresh your jellyfin library.
Plex is just a little better since you can use the plex discover feature to add items to your watchlist
Hmm, ok I’m using sonarr, radarr, prowlarr, and jellyfin server, hooked up to my imdb/tmdb watchlists, so I just like something online and it appears on my PC.
Does this essentially provide the same service, If I’ve already set mine up how I like it?
Usenet is worth every penny
100% get 2 providers 2 indexers and setup the Arr stack and never touch it again
Make sure they’re not from the same company though.
You can use IRC to pirate ebooks that you won’t be able to find on torrent sites.
Wait until you hear about library genesis.
IPv6 torrenting for the most part goes unchecked by the companies who send threat letters to your ISP. I have a US seedbox which doesn’t have IPv4 and it’s been working great with a lot of public torrents
