I've been trying to switch over to the arr stack, and for anything new it's great, but my girlfriend likes to watch some older obscure stuff (previous Halloween Baking Championship for example) which I'm having a hard time finding. Lots of stalled torrents, etc. Maybe I just need to get into some private trackers, but there is still some things that stream wins out for currently for us.

    Torrents are, by design, popularity based bandwidth... Might I suggest newsgroups that can have retention of 25+ years? Oh and the speeds are enough to make your (insert connection type) beg for mercy.

    Switch to Usenet. Torrents are honestly terrible.

    I've heard of them but I admittedly shyed away from them since I'm not familiar with how they work. Are they free like torrents or do you need to pay to access them?

    Usually you have to pay for them. Free ones are available but they don’t have much available.

    Remember, Netflix got popular because it was an access issue, not a payment issue. People were fine with paying, just not overpaying.

    Is there one you'd recommend, or how would I go about picking one? Do they all have everything, or does it depend on what shows/movies I'm interested in?

    Sorry for all the questions, I've been curious about this stuff for a bit but I'm the only pirate in my friend group
