I normally use usenet, but I use torrent as backup. I heard of https://ext.to/, what are other that are good?

1337x.to works well too. If you use a website translator, like Firefox Translate, rutracker is great too.

Otherwise, private torrent sites (e.g. TorrentLeech) are the best addition to Usenet.

Keeping ratio is pretty easy if you set up Cross-Seed. It finds torrents matching your local files (e.g. Usenet downloads) and adds them to your torrent client without using additional space or downloading them again.

    How would I go about setting up cross seed

    Honestly I just got a few fresh free-leech torrents a while back, seeded them for a week, and built up enough surplus to not have to worry about ratio for the foreseeable future

    Yes. If you've got enough buffer anyway there's not much reason to set up Cross-Seed.

    Depending on the tracker this can work better or worse. E.g. I was on a tracker with minimal free leech content, so Cross-Seed helped me a lot.

    What benefits does Usenet have over Debrid? I've been meaning to try it for years, but after finding out about Debrid services, I don't see the point when I can have a 1Gbps direct download to any torrent I want, without having to rely on seeds.
