Just saw on Titus Tech Talk that torrents are last decade, and newsgroups is where it's at for this stuff. Of course he didn't elaborate, so I need some help here.

What is he talking about, and what are these groups that can I ~~enter~~ er, avoid?

That's down the the indexer you decide to use. The one I use (NZBGeek) does have a requests section where you can enter an IMDB id, TVDB id, or just a general description and any other necessary/desired details like quality and they'll be filled by volunteers.

TBH not something I'd actually looked into until now. I'm gonna go drop a request or two in there right now. There's not much I'm missing, but the things I am I haven't been able to find regardless of source.
