Good quality for the lower size, which is still important to a lot of non westerners, but they also don't look great on our 70'+ screens.

I've found P2P as viable and have switched to Usenet.

70'! I'd love a 70 foot screen.

For checking new releases

For Searching Torrents

What Usenet provider are you using?

[–] Stanley_Pain@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 year ago

Newshosting. Have been using them for a few years now.

I use TorrentGalaxy to know about the new releases and RealDebrid + Stremio. I think nothing else is actually needed.

[–] Blxter@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Yea I've been using torrentgalaxy aswell. They seem to have a newish release group called "infinity" I think. There releases are very similar to the HEVC ones RARGB used to do. Still miss there clean layout tho.

Edit: new to me at least.

[–] BurpingBeaver@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

It is missing the clean layout, but being able to search specifically for TV Series Packs is really handy

I use TorrentDay and 1337x. For the weird things that aren't on either one, I'll check aiosearch and grab it from whatever has what I'm looking for.

[–] hamsteronvase@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

1337x has started requiring you to sign up with your email address before you can download. Not today, FBI

[–] xbhaktapur@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Rarbg is gone?

What happened? When?

Hello guys, We would like to inform you that we have decided to shut down our site. The past 2 years have been very difficult for us - some of the people in our team died due to covid complications, others still suffer the side effects of it - not being able to work at all. Some are also fighting the war in Europe - ON BOTH SIDES. Also, the power price increase in data centers in Europe hit us pretty hard. Inflation makes our daily expenses impossible to bare. Therefore we can no longer run this site without massive expenses that we can no longer cover out of pocket. After an unanimous vote we've decided that we can no longer do it. We are sorry :( Bye

It's probably too complicated for a lot of people who got used to using torrents or they just don't know what they are missing out.

[–] xtremeownage@lemmyonline.com 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Eh, one they get radarr/sonarr/lidarr setup- it does EVERYTHING for you.

The only downside, you do need a usenet account, which costs a few bucks. But- once you go usenet, you will never go back.

[–] RandomLegend@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"once you go usenet, you will never go back." true.

Been a torrent kiddie since the old days and thought this was the end all be all of online availability of stuff i want.

Friend of me got an unlimited account on fastusenet and let me hook into it. 20€/y for a very nice german & international newsgroup forum with unlimited API access that was made with sonarr / radarr in mind.

I can and don't want to ever go back...it's blazing fast, whenever i find something, i can be certain that it's there and ready for download; Unlike torrents... just bcs u got a magnet doesn't mean there are enough seeders. And then it takes sooooooo long. On usenet i get my 350mbit/s and it can even be unpacked while being downloaded.

That way i can request a movie and watch it in ~20min even if it's a BR-REMUX that is like 80~90GB

I happily pay for that!

[–] xtremeownage@lemmyonline.com 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

The only time I ever even consider using torrents, is for an obscure piece of content which I cannot find on usenet.

And even then, I do it all manually. There is too much "bad" content hosted there.

Edit- Please ignore my random downvote. nohbdyuno really... loves downvoting my comments for some odd reason.

[–] what@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Is the pirate bay not good for this? I was surprised I didn't see them mentioned.

[–] cyanarchy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't think TPB is strictly recommended for anything anymore, I could be out of the loop on that.

[–] orcrist@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

As a simple matter of fact, many people are still recommending TPB. It gets the job done a lot of the time.

[–] cyanarchy@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I wouldn't deny or argue that. I was under the impression that it just had more pitfalls than other sources these days, which led to it no longer being the go-to source it once was.

[–] orcrist@lemm.ee 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I haven't noticed any pitfalls, but some other sites have fancy looking interfaces, and they might organize things in a fashion that you find more convenient. In other words, it's a question of what features you want and where you can find them.

[–] cyanarchy@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago

Perfectly valid. I used to use TPB a lot back in the day but now I find pretty much everything I want on 1337x.
