If you’re willing to spend a bit of money to pirate, just go with usenet. I was a private tracker guy for years, but I got sick of keeping up ratio when I mainly wanted shit that wasn’t super in demand. Have been so much happier since I made the move, and my downloads finish much faster than they ever did before.

Speaking of which, if anyone has an invite to spare for a good private tracker, please DM me. Private tracker I used since highschool has finally lost the plot.

Got a link to a “pirate on Usenet for dummies”?

Dummy here, thanks, but what does this mean? Do you know any Ressources on how to get started with this?

Prowlarr and nzbget are the two containers I run that handle actually downloading things, and sonarr/radarr for automatic media management.
For usenet, you need to get a provider and an indexer, and those can be gotten for just a couple bucks a month. Honestly, well worth the expense.

Right on brother, I’m already on Usenet, mainly looking for a private tracker as a next to last resort.

How much do private trackers improve the experience? My friend that pirates says he hasn’t had any problems with public ones yet.

I’m mainly using it to fill a small niche gap in my existing pirate fleet.

I mean downloads basically limited by your bandwidth, usually the highest quality (like blu-ray rip 4k, almost no compression) etc.
But if you don’t have issues, well probably don’t bother.
Another thing if you aren’t using a VPN (which you probably should), they’re safer, as well… they’re private.
