What are your favorite public torrent based indexers for TV and Movies using the *arr stack? (lemmy.ml)

I've been having trouble since rarbg shut down and have been having to manually check downloaded files because so many of them are poor quality, not even playable or completely different movies/shows. YTS has been decent for movies but over the last 48 hours it's been failing (maybe because of the cloudflare issue but who knows)

  • I know the easiest solution would be to cough up the money for a usenet sub but I don't want to unless absolutely necessary.
  • I'm not on any private trackers.

So what public torrent indexers do you use and what order do you have them in?

I've been getting this message with 1337x.to recently with whatever VPN I use so had to disable it:

Unable to access 1337x.to, blocked by CloudFlare Protection.

But do you think they're currently the best on there?

    1337x is pretty damn good, look into flaresolverr for the Cloudflare, it's a bit hit or miss (cat and mouse game there) but useful. Also Limetorrents, EZTV and good old piratebay are worth it IMO.

    Never heard of flaresolver, thanks for the tip!

    I don’t think I have Limetorrents enabled so will add that too. Is that the priority order you have them in then? Leet, lime, eztv and then tpb?

    curious what version of flaresolverr you're using? I have it running in docker, and although I realize it is a cat and mouse game, the cat seems to be winning a LARGE majority of the time for me, and 1337 is nearly always disabled as a result.

    I get the same general message, "challenge detected", and not able to win. at one point, I looked through the output of my flaresolverr instance but was ultimately not able to piece together anything meaningful (by my understanding).

    Er, current (I use podman autoupdate). Often it's the second time you try that it works (takes a while to work and times out), can also be a hard block on your vpn egress IP, then change it, test to see if you can reach it in your browser. Also you arr may have decided it's not working and turn it off, check system errors. Currently my log has detected, challenge solved, response in 18 - 40 s, so it's definitely slow at the moment.

    It is not recommended to run the arr stack through a VPN because cloudflare will cause problems. Only the torrent client should go through the VPN.
