There just aren’t many german torrents, at least on public trackers. Might be because of this law firm that constantly sends out letters asking for hundreds of euros per infringement.
I’ve had more luck with Usenet, especially the indexers SceneNZBs and DrunkenSlug. The former is a collaboration with the forum House Of Usenet, which gives me almost always the result I want (e.g. remux, german english dual language).
Automation with *arr works great, but it’s not the type of search and play like with Torrentio + real-debrid. Downloading the entire movie/show takes time depending on the bandwidth.
I am very new to the whole torrenting and stremio thing, so I have basically no clue how to utilise any new indexers. I just looked up what it actually means and as far as I understand, they are the tools to find suitable torrents for the target media, is that right? So, is the goal here is to replace Torrentio and hook it up to stremio by itself?
Because the setup has to be cheap and secure, I will probably have to rely on RD and I am not aware of any way to use its service outside of Torrentio.
Or does switching to the *arr alternatives provide enough security while living in Germany. I am really not looking forward to getting annoying letters for any leaking.
Indexers are search engines for usenet, just like trackers allow for searching for torrents. You’re curently using torrent trackers through Torrentio, which downloads the torrents through RD. RD then streams the media to you. This is convenient but as far as I know only works with public trackers, since most private trackers require you to directly upload as much as you download.
Yes, the *arr apps download the requested media through torrent or usenet. They usually run on a server (old laptop, RPi, …). They allow for searching and then automatically downloading content in the right resolution, language and size through torrents or usenet. This downloaded media might then be watched through Jellyfin or Kodi.
If you use torrents directly (public or private), always use a VPN in Germany. Downloading through usenet isn’t a big risk without VPN, just like torrents with RD isn’t risky either. Using *arr with torrents means a VPN is necessary to avoid unfriendly letters.
So, is the goal here is to replace Torrentio and hook it up to stremio by itself?
I don’t know whether Usenet works with Streamio but there might be a plugin. It might be that Streamio just doesn’t work well for german content.
Sorry, it’ll be difficult beating Streamio + RD in ease of use and cost. I’m using *arr and Jellyfin which means I have a server (desktop pc) with a big HDD running 24/7. Since I’m using usenet the cost of indexer and provider comes on top.
The setup just ain’t right for me. I am extremely happy with the simplicity RD provides and I don’t want to actually store the media on my hardware, nor am I looking forward to letting my PC run throughout most of the day, just so my family can watch whenever they want.
I guess I will have to accept that I will not be able to reliably get German sources with my setup. I am glad that my family is bilingual and therefore is also happy with watching movies in Russian, which provides more than enough public trackers. Though most current movies don’t actually have proper voice dubs and rely on fan dubs because of the current political situation I think.
Yes, one of the main reasons I set up *arr was that I have a server running anyway, so I better put it to good use. RD seems gets mentioned a lot and after trying it out for a few weeks the value and simplicity is great.
Glad to hear that you’re family is bilingual as I won’t get far with english only with mine. That’s a major reason I switched to usenet as it’s easier to find dual language content than getting into private trackers.
Ahoy, matey! If ye be lookin’ to improve the seedin’ of yer torrents, I’ve got a few tips that’ll make yer digital treasure spread faster than a sailor’s rumor in a tavern. First off, make sure ye be havin’ a proper port open on yer ship – aye, that’s the port-forwardin’ business. Next, check if yer ship’s crew, I mean, yer torrent client, be allowed through the firewall. Ye don’t want no scallywag blockin’ yer signal.
Now, here be the trick to gettin’ more swashbucklers to join yer crew – keep that torrent active, savvy? No need to be a lazy landlubber and abandon ship as soon as ye finish downloadin’. The more ye be sharin’, the more likely others’ll join the ranks.
And let’s not forget about those trackers, the navigational stars of yer torrentin’ voyage. Find yerself some trackers with plenty of hearties on ‘em, and add ‘em to yer torrent – that’ll give ye more chances to connect with fellow buccaneers sailin’ the same waters.
Last but not least, be mindful of yer upload rate, matey. Don’t be a hog, sharin’ is carin’ in the high seas of torrentin’. Set yer upload rate to a fair share, and ye’ll be well on yer way to becomin’ a respected seeder in the pirate bay. Arrr, happy torrentin’ and smooth sailin’, ye digital pirate! 🏴☠️
I have the same problem. I generally just leave my torrent client running in the background when I work. I never leave it running because I think of my parents’ electricity bill.
If you have a server the key is just… time. Leave it be, and when you’re not downloading anything, go full throttle on sharing!
It’s a service that allows tv/movie streaming from torrents. I use it with the ‘Seren’ addon within Kodi on my HTPC/FireSticks. It’s $20/6 months, and works great. No buffering.
What software/OS are you running on your NAS? If you’re running some goofy software on a private tracker your client might not be whitelisted.
Besides that - this NAS is attached to your home network I assume? Is it behind a router? Are the ports you’re using for torrenting port-forwarded?
What tracker are you testing this on? A bunch of trackers will have a “Connectivity check” that will tell you whether or not your client is connectable
I be sailin’ the digital seas with a trusty QNAP OS and the mighty QBittorrent, but I be a greenhorn in this life on the high seas. Me heart’s desire be to contribute to our pirate brotherhood by becoming a proper seederman.
Be ye privy to a treasure map, a definitive guide, that can steer me in the right direction to turn me NAS into a fearsome seedin’ contraption fit for the high seas?
But yeah, I also have a QNAP NAS that I just finished getting set up! And it is indeed seeding out, I’m almost at 0.49 for my all-time share ratio after downloading some stuff over the last few days. It’s taking longer to get my share ratio up than I expected, but idk, I’m new here.
Anyway, from reading a couple of strongly-worded posts on Reddit it seems that you need to have port forwarding enabled on your VPN to really seed effectively. Did you look at that when picking your VPN?
Basically I’m using AirVPN with binhex’s arch-qbittorrentvpn docker container to get it all set up. Binhex has lots of helpful pages on their GitHub for getting things working properly.
I don’t know if there’s a “definitive guide” - it’s not that complicated to get a torrent client up and running. What kind of content are you looking for? Movies, Series, Music, Games, Books…?
Best is probably to try to get access to a decent private tracker, and an “easy” one - one with a bonus point system for seeding and uptime - that makes it much easier to keep a good ratio with a NAS, if you’re just permanently seeding everything you download, you’ll get points and “rise the ranks” of that tracker.
Once you’re a high enough rank on that tracker, you’ll get access to their “Invite Forums” where other private trackers advertise and give out invites to their trackers
Spoken with the spirit of a genuine sea rover, me matey, but listen here, we must band together as brethren to stand strong against the mighty organizations that threaten our way of life on the vast and treacherous ocean!
I’ve spent all today and yesterday trying to get this working with PureVPN and QBitTorrent and it hasn’t been working much at all 😭. It’s been painfully slow when it works at all, which has been rare. Although it has been doing the job of hiding the Docker container IP so that’s good, and it makes me think it’s something minor, like port forwarding not working because of PureVPN or something off with my settings, or it’s a qBittorrent issue, or Docker and Linux inexperience.
Admittedly troubleshooting has been slow because I’m super new to Linux and Docker and keep running into permission and file system issues. Running the VPN and torrent straight in my computer was way easier, but I’d really love to be able to run Plex and a torrent client on the same computer on at the same time with Plex not going through the VPN and the torrent client going through it, which is what this seems great for.
I’ve set it up with PrivadoVPN without issues, using Docker. Gluetun in its own docker container and Qbittorrent in its own, with network mode set to use the Gluetun contaoner. Haven’t tested downloading a lot though. Gluetun has some good docs how to set it up in Docker.
Maybe it’s my VPN provider then. I’ll have to try it with another one. I’ve followed so many of those documents. Do you use Port Forwarding with PrivadoVPN?
What are you trying to accomplish? Hide/anonymize your Internet/torrenting activity? Or access your LAN devices from the Internet? Because those are two different use cases for VPN. One requires paying a third party provider, the other - hosting a VPN server on your network.
