      It’s my go-to for western movies and tv - what do y’all use?

      My other goto’s:

      1. nyaa.si for anime (most of what I watch is anime anyway 😅
      2. fitgirl for video games, if not available search reddit cautiously bc I’m scared of viruses 😅

      But for tv and such I’m not too too scared of viruses, they’d have to use an exploit in the codec, and usually they just use a .mp4.exe or similar bc they lazy 😁

        Private torrent trackers, usenet, and debrid services aside, qBittorrent + Jackett lets you search multiple public torrent trackers at a time, helpful for when one indexer has a release missing from another.

        If you have the technical knowledge (or ability to follow instructions) you can setup your torrents behind a VPN using qBittorrent and gluetun in one docker container, and Plex/Jellyfin in another with a shared volume between them. It provides you near bullet proof protection due to the isolated environment and prevents accidentally clicking those .mp4.exes since it abstracts file management away from you. It’s also super user friendly once set up even if you’re not running a media server 24/7 and just want it for your desktop.

        If you wanna get fancy you can use the *arr suite of software to do some magic fairy shit including automatic indexing (searching dozens of torrent sites simultaneously), but that can quickly become a deep rabbit hole. Once setup though it’s seamless and kicks ass.
