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?
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.
See my other comment, this “drawback” is just based on missing knowledge. It’s absolutely the same as with torrents. If you are on public trackers/search-engines you’re fucked with the absolute mainstream-stuff. On private trackers you find what you need. Same with usenet. Lots of private trackers (at least in my native tongue, but most likely in many other tongues too) that deal with local stuff. I never not found anything except some very rare cases (in which torrent, debrid or even group-FPTs didn’t help either, it was just not available at all)
As you said: if you know what you’re doing…applies to everything :)
