Private TV & movie tracker FearNoPeer has gone offline permanently. Almost no warning was given to users, just a terse email:

FNP is closing — a short note from Kami

After almost three years of running this site largely on my own, I've made the decision to step away. This is about my own health and capacity, not any single event.

The server will be shutting down in 30 minutes or less from when you receive this message and i encourage you to share it and be aware. After that, the site will not return.

I'm grateful for every contribution that helped keep FNP online, and I'm sorry that what I can offer in return is this notice rather than more time.

If you want the longer account of what happened — for your own reading — it's here and i suggest everyone to read it: https://rentry.co/h2ch4wfr

Thank you to every genuine member who made this community what it was over the past three years. You're the part of this I'll remember.

— Kami

I was primarily looking for olden movies - I tend to binge-watch old horror B-movies - and the downloads were usually greater than 2 gigs.

Thanks for the explanation.

Even with HEVC encodes, 2-3 GBs is what I look for in terms of quality. FNP divided the torrents by what kind of encode they were from full disc rips to web downloads. So the size between those torrent varied wildly.

If you just wanna watch B movies once and delete, you’re better off scouring YouTube for random uploads.
