Hello, everyone.

I used to have access to Iptorrents many years ago after being invited by a friend and loved it. As I felt Netflix was a reasonable replacement at the time, I shifted to purely using it for all my streaming needs resulting in an IPT account shutdown. Today is a different story though… As the library shrank and split into many different providers bumping the price up to a very UNreasonable level along with small and bloated libraries, I’m ditching the services for a purely Jellyfin reliant home. Does anyone know of a quality tracker that I can use these days?

Edit: Everyone has been so helpful. Thanks for all of the information and invites!

    Meh, i tried usenet about a year or two ago when I was getting back into this, and it was utterly useless for anything that wasn’t English speaking media for myself. Anything locally produced or foreign shows translated (for my kids) where almost impossible to find so YMMV. It seems to have a lot less variety than torrents offer.

    I found a private torrent tracker that caters to my liking and now there’s almost nothing I can’t find anymore and it’s also full bandwidth (1gbit in my case) download 90% of the time. Costs are about the same, just for VPN instead of provider and indexer.

      Interesting, I’ve never used usenet (no pun intended), but this does seem like a pretty big drawback.

      I speak fluent English, but if I am not in a mood for subtitles, I prefer non-US/UK media in my own language. Torrents are pretty flexible on this front. Sure you need to know what you are doing, but if you know what usenet is, that means you can figure it out.
