Looks like a great replacement for rats on the boat.

Cinemaz opens its doors pretty regularly and has quite a bit of rare content.

Bitsearch.to lets you upload anything, and its searched by jackett. Same with the sister site solidtorrents.to. Solid actually has a python plugin for qbittorrent so its even easier to search/discover.

I just want to chime in here to mention its a bit of a pain in the ass to set up soulseek to use a vpn. It needs 2, and unless you use nicotine, you need to have 2 consecutive ports, and afaik theres only one vpn that offers that. You also have to make sure that you allow it through your firewall on both private and public connections. Even after going through all that trouble, some users on soulseek ban VPN IP's. I've only encountered one user doing this so far, and they were a super prick about it.

With video content, most sd copies are very much at risk. DVDRip, VHSRip, VCDRip, VODRip and HDTV/SDTV stuff. In general though, most anything uploaded before 2016 that isn't a yify rip barely has any seeds these days.

Search for DVDRip, filter by upload date and check for ones that aren't well seeded. See if you can find ones that don't have any other rips available, and seed whatever looks at-risk. Godspeed!

Try searching it on telegram for the one with the deluge icon.

Theres r/trackersignups and the telegram channel r/opensignups migrated to of the same name.

I found an optimized ini file on nexusmods that has the game running real well and still looking pretty good. Good lord though yeah the performance is awful.

Sonarr and Radarr actually take a bit after the initial upload to discover it, autobrr can grab quicker because it relies on the irc announce channel of the tracker.

Man, of course AR had to go down yesterday. Had autobrr set up and everything.

Can't catch a break.

Had no idea they limit new users to 5 ports now. I only singed up a couple months ago, guess I got in just in the nick of time!

Hey folks, I know we like encoding urls with base64 to keep the automated bots off our hindquarters, I figured out a neat little trick. As I'm sure you are aware, you can share a torrent with the infohash only, without the need to have all the formatting of a magnet link.

The infohash is a 20 byte string represented with hexadecimal, and can be stored as both its ascii string or as just bytes. The interesting thing about base64 is that not only can it be used to encode an ascii string, it can also be used to encode bytes.

As an example, I'm going to use an archive.org torrent, using cryptii.com as the translator, since it allows me to encode bytes. So, we start with our infohash 62ae55f2329e29f79a8d1ed245c84818b5cf84e9 and we're going to set cryptii to encode to base64, with our input view set to bytes grouped by 'none'. Out of this, we get Yq5V8jKeKfeajR7SRchIGLXPhOk= Simply mirror the process for decoding.

This produces a base64 string which is actually shorter than the original infohash! This process always seems to produce the = at the end, which does make this unmistakably base64, but if encoded with the base64url standard this will disappear.

I thought this would probably be useful for the future when infohashes get shared on here, just in case automated bots start looking for infohash sized hexadecimal length strings.
