No, I wont name the specific title. I don’t want to break Rule 4. But I do want to understand why a movie or show can be so hard to find, because maybe that will lead me to understanding how to find things.

I am surprised how hard it is to find some titles. Maybe it’s because the one I’m thinking of is an old title, 60s or 70s era. But it’s extremely popular, even today. It’s been on hopping around streaming services. One would think it would be readily available on the high seas too. I don’t really know how one creates a torrent but I’m assuming anything that can be streamed can be captured. I guess maybe it’s just not as popular as I think?

    Public or private tracker?

    On private trackers we can request stuff and others will have a look if they have it or if they can get it on their trackers.

    Unfortunately it’s difficult to upload stuff on many trackers but it’s easier on quality trackers. The source is even open source so I do not understand why many trackers still have a bad website.

    How long are you searching for? Sometimes it just takes time until someone uploads it. That’s the beauty of servarr. You request it and some day it’ll pop up.

      Any tips on getting in to a private tracker these days? Don’t they all need invites from friends?

        You can easily find working trackers by looking into the list of trackers that prowlarr provides. If a tracker isn’t on that list, you don’t want to get into it.

        You search for your language and the desired content and then you open 10 tabs for 10 trackers. Some can be closed directly because there are no open registrstions. For the other 5 you send a text about yourself and your torrent experience and behavior. The content you are looking for, the quality and what you can provide. Your setup, etc. Copy paste the text to those 5 and you’ll get invited to at least 3 of them. You can also just start out with one. It doesn’t need to be your desired or final tracker. It needs time to understand torrenting anyway. Just being on one is a good start. Setting up servarr takes time as well. Use 1337x.to and just look for your first tracker.

          Thanks i’ll take a look at prowlarr. I am familiar with 1337x and a couple other public trackers, sadly they don’t have the ones I am looking for :(
