Hello, everyone.
I used to have access to Iptorrents many years ago after being invited by a friend and loved it. As I felt Netflix was a reasonable replacement at the time, I shifted to purely using it for all my streaming needs resulting in an IPT account shutdown. Today is a different story though… As the library shrank and split into many different providers bumping the price up to a very UNreasonable level along with small and bloated libraries, I’m ditching the services for a purely Jellyfin reliant home. Does anyone know of a quality tracker that I can use these days?

Shoot me an email address; I can send you a few invites.
I can invite you OP. Message me an email.
Edit to add, look into Usenet, sonarr, radarr. IPT or other torrents suck.
That being said, if you want an IPT invite PM me an email.
Torrent sucks. Go for usenet. As long as it doesn’t really hit mainstream it’s far superior. Plus all the *arrs (sonarr etc) and you’re comfortably set. (Though they work fine with torrents too, if you prefer those for whichever reason)
I have a minimal maintenance-setup running for years now. Wanna see a show? Enter name, select quality, wait a few seconds, start first episode. Movie? Enter name, click download, wait a minute or more and watch. Same with music and subtitles and even fucking porn (who collects porn???).
Price? Not even 10 bucks a month (provider plus indexer). And I even could save, coz I use 3 indexers while one would suffice most of the time and I also pay monthly for emby (I like it and want to give back, beats the lifetime-payment)
Meh, i tried usenet about a year or two ago when I was getting back into this, and it was utterly useless for anything that wasn’t English speaking media for myself. Anything locally produced or foreign shows translated (for my kids) where almost impossible to find so YMMV. It seems to have a lot less variety than torrents offer.
I found a private torrent tracker that caters to my liking and now there’s almost nothing I can’t find anymore and it’s also full bandwidth (1gbit in my case) download 90% of the time. Costs are about the same, just for VPN instead of provider and indexer.
Interesting, I’ve never used usenet (no pun intended), but this does seem like a pretty big drawback.
I speak fluent English, but if I am not in a mood for subtitles, I prefer non-US/UK media in my own language. Torrents are pretty flexible on this front. Sure you need to know what you are doing, but if you know what usenet is, that means you can figure it out.
Average Usenet user describing why it’s supposedly better with zero proof.
Torrenting is awesome and you can seed to your hearts desire making yourself helpful to others :)
Proof? Why would I need proof? I was just helpful. Personally couldn’t care less where you get your shit.
I download at 100% of my line’s speed (3gbit) 99% of the time. I don’t need to rely on seeders and don’t care for u/d-ratio. If you don’t understand how things work, just stick with Torrents. The fewer that use usenet, the better 😉
IPT is still running and easy to get into, Torrentleech is another, just as easy and almost a clone of IPT. Other than these, there is Milky which is new and open for now. These will suffice for most of your needs.
hawke.uno is my preferred tracker for media. they have registrations open pretty frequently.
1337x for the other stuff, like games or books.
Would you care to tell me more about all these private trackers?
