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!

    IPT is still running and easy to get into, Torrentleech is another, just as easy and almost a clone of IPT. Other than these, there is Milky which is new and open for now. These will suffice for most of your needs.

    Torrent sucks. Go for usenet. As long as it doesn’t really hit mainstream it’s far superior. Plus all the *arrs (sonarr etc) and you’re comfortably set. (Though they work fine with torrents too, if you prefer those for whichever reason)

    I have a minimal maintenance-setup running for years now. Wanna see a show? Enter name, select quality, wait a few seconds, start first episode. Movie? Enter name, click download, wait a minute or more and watch. Same with music and subtitles and even fucking porn (who collects porn???).

    Price? Not even 10 bucks a month (provider plus indexer). And I even could save, coz I use 3 indexers while one would suffice most of the time and I also pay monthly for emby (I like it and want to give back, beats the lifetime-payment)

      Average Usenet user describing why it’s supposedly better with zero proof.

      Torrenting is awesome and you can seed to your hearts desire making yourself helpful to others :)

        Proof? Why would I need proof? I was just helpful. Personally couldn’t care less where you get your shit.

        I download at 100% of my line’s speed (3gbit) 99% of the time. I don’t need to rely on seeders and don’t care for u/d-ratio. If you don’t understand how things work, just stick with Torrents. The fewer that use usenet, the better 😉
