I'm on a bunch of private torrent trackers where retention is excellent. Jackett is interfacing with those trackers and exposes a unified "Torznab" endpoint that Sonarr and Radarr use to autograb whatever I'm interested in. Those in turn send their match to qBittorrent and get notified when a download is finished, and hardlink (very important to save time and hard disk space) the result to a destination folder in a nicely organized fashion. That folder is observed by Jellyfin, which matches the name with The Movie DB to show cover images of shows and movies.
I used to perform a manual search and pick the right release for me. Nowadays, my filters are good enough that I just add whatever is supposed to be released in the foreseeable future, and the setup is doing the rest.
I'm also archiving whatever I'm watching long term on a local 4x18TB RAID-5 NAS
It's crazy how well this software collection works in unison.
- loganmarchione 3y agoHow do you get invites into private trackers? Any you recommend?
- aydio 3y agoThe canonical way to "work your way up" nowadays is to get into RED. Once you get to a certain user class, you'll find that there's a path to lots of categories. Getting into trackers takes a bit of dedication, but it pays off and does not require your ongoing attention once you're set.
- 0x0000000 3y agoUsually one of the following ways: 1) know someone who is already on the inside, who has earned enough reputation to get some invites, or 2) Idle in some IRC channel for anywhere from a few days to a few months, and then pass some quiz/interview to make sure you know the basics of torrent etiquette and such

- Thristle 3y agoThis is exactly my setup. It is SHOCKING how well it works
