There are semi private trackers out there that you can get an invite fairly easy, as do open signups pretty often.
You don’t need to think about it too much, as most 4K content usually crosses the trigger for freeleech. That means you are fine as long as you don’t do a Hit ’n Run, which in itself is an asshole thing to do.
I have a fully automated system and don’t even bother checking where I am downloading from, or what my ratios are, all is taken care in the background.
Do you mind if I ask more details about your system?
The whole Arr suite, plus others. I have a 24/7 low power machine running the following on unRAID with containers:
I have more of course but this is what’s relevant to you.
I also have some custom scripts for patching some things up to my like.
how did you set it up (like, what's the process a file would do to get downloaded)? this seems a bit more complex then the normal *arr stack setup
Just the normal monitor process in the Arrs and then the magic happens in qbit manage. There you can set up targets for your torrents (share ratio, seeding times, etc). Also autobrr puts me in the very first people to download a torrent, so it helps in keeping a good ratio. Cross-seed also pumps up the ratio a lot.
Recyclarr is very important for me because I am assured to request only the very best quality for the things I care.
My setup is complex but only because I invested way too much time in. You can get to 80% what I have in a few days and still get awesome results.
wow! i have to admit i often leech from public trackers since my vpn doesn't support port forwarding anymore (mullvad) so i didn't really know of the setup to get a good ratio, only the downloading part. I'll have to look into it. by the way, do you use a vpn with port forwarding or just use trusted private trackers?
Yes I PF. The VPN container drops the dynamically assigned port to a file that a start up script for qbt reads and hard writes it in the config file. Fun stuff.
pw?
Sorry I meant PF, corrected.
Nice system. It looks like I could run most of that on my seedbox. Of course, I still need the content 😂
How are you routing containers through the VPN container?
You set the network up as container:vpncontainername
Edit: correction
If this refers to docker compose, I think all that does is put them in the same network.
Here's the docker equivalent (gluetun is the VPN container in my setup):
network_mode: container:gluetun
So for any container I want to run through the VPN, I just stick that line in.
Not compose, I use unRAID. This put this container in the other container’s net. If you google for unRAID you find it quite fast.
Oh interesting thanks!
Check out YAMS [dot] MEDIA. YAMS (Yet Another Media Server) is essentially what the other fella is running but super simple. Depending on what system you’re running you could be up and running your own home server in about an hour.
Same tbh
