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 😂

    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.

        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.

        Check out YAMS [dot] MEDIA. YAMS (Yet Another Media Server) is essentially what the other fella is running but super simple. Depending on what system you’re running you could be up and running your own home server in about an hour.
