Haven't torrented in over a decade. I've finally managed to find some free time to watch some stuff. (lemm.ee)

Looking for shows I can fall asleep too with my husband.

The little stuff we did watch in the past couple years was through the easy streaming sites. But those are always prone to missing episodes and random glitches so I thought getting back into torrenting would be fun.

Sidenote: if I remember correctly, its quite normal for some torrents to take a couple hours before a seeder turns up, right?

Go to usenet, it is way better, or IRC if these torrent are slow.

    I though the same too, but realized that it is easier than looking for torrents with seeders. I used to pay more for netflix than what I currently pay for Usenet. Torrenting these days isn't the same as years ago, many public torrent sites closed. I selfhost a server that basically does everything for me I only need to pick the show to download. You can try usenet for free, usenet.farm offer a 10 GB block to trial Usenet, also the indexer NZBGeek offer a trial if I am not wrong.

    Don't you need an indexer and some other service too. I've got a server too, and to be honest, I've noticed the decline. But right now, even 15 dollars a month is a bit much for me.

    NZBGeek an indexer offer a trial and Usenet farm offer a 10 GB trial if you want to test it. If you want usenet to get it you look for deals. You got two ways for usenet either ultimate or block (basically prepaid you pay for data and they don't expire you get them forever)

    Block 6 TB for €15 (2800+ retention ) : https://bulknews.eu/en/%C2%A0 and use the code bf241.

    NZBGeek an indexer costs $12 a year they also offer deals throughout unfortunately black Friday is over so no deals now.

    If you got this you get a total of $27.62 for the year which is $2.3 per month.

    Of course if you are comfortable with torrent just stay on torrent and maybe use IRC for anything you can't find a torrent for.

    Could you explain what this is? A torrent aggregator?

    I was using torrent galaxy.

    IRC (Internet Relay Chat) is a protocol for messaging and XDCC is a file sharing method that it uses.

    IRC: https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/k08hje/when_people_say_irc_is_dead

    Usenet is basically the first forum to exist on the internet and people discovered that they could share files by encoding them into messages, for example lets say I take a file encode and divide it over a 1000 tweets. I would also make a file called NZB to find the messages and share it, so people could download it. Usenet still exists for file sharing, but it is paid. You would need an indexer that finds the files and a usenet service. Honestly you could get both indexer and the usenet service for as cheap as $2.5 per month way cheaper than Netflix.
