Does anybody know anybody at shareisland.org (an Italian/international private tracker) and could forward the message in the title to their web dev(s)? I would really like to apply but something goes wrong in the html of the registration/application page. The web console shows some errors but not sure what to make of them. I...
I wonder how upload is allocated between peers in a private tracker. I noticed that I systematically upload much less than most of the other seeding peers (according to the stats available for a given torrent in the private tracker), even if I am among the first to get a torrent. I also noticed that my max upload speed is much...
Thanks to this Lemmy I entered the magic world of private trackers, and now the list of torrents I keep seeding is growing by the day. How can I detect when the number of torrents is detrimental to the functioning of the network? What is a reasonable ball park estimate of active (even if “dormant”) torrents?
jackett (by the way thanks to those suggesting it here!) lists hundreds of indexers… but how to choose which ones to focus on? Is there an updated repository with some stats and indexing by category, popularity and easiness of access, or forums with reviews? Some basic google searches provide SEO optimized pages listing some...
Thanks, I’ll keep that in mind! On the side note, why do you say Jackett dev has stopped? The last release on github is 16h ago. Also, I am still a bit old fashioned here, and haven’t entered the *rr world yet!
Now you can find the same 4K video from few GBs to a hundred GBs, and I am wondering: where to stop? With music there is a similar phenomenon by which after a certain bitrate it becomes an esoteric art to detect improvements. So, what is your “very good enough” bitrate for 4K videos?
I am running jellyfin in LAN on a Synology. I/O from harddisk shouldn’t be a problem being SSD on the same NAS. And WiFi should sustain a 4K stream. I have tried only web clients. How can I optimize the stream for such large file? Or how can I debug the bottleneck?
First, is the marketplace at torrentinvites.org legit? Second, is it dishonorable to do such things? Third, how to avoid scams? Fourth, are there alternative marketplaces to have a sense of whether the price is right?...
I am setting up my first jellyfin server via docker, and I am offered the option to either use TMDB or OMDB. I have jellyfin on a LAN-connected device w/o VPN connection, and I am concerned queries to those DBs with file names of torrented files can get tracked and reported to my ISP. Could that be the case? And if so what to do...
I’m considering joining my first private tracker. It turns out that most of them need you to pass an interview connected through your home IP. I understand this is a reasonable way to filter scammers and duplicate accounts. Still, to those who did it, how do you feel knowing your main IP is stored and associated to your...

How bandwidth is allocated between uploading peers?
I wonder how upload is allocated between peers in a private tracker.

How to know how many concurrent active torrents are too many?
Thanks to this Lemmy I entered the magic world of private trackers, and now the list of torrents I keep seeding is growing by the day. How can I detect when the number of torrents is detrimental to the functioning of the network? What is a reasonable ball park estimate of active (even if “dormant”) torrents?
Where could I find an updated list of recommended and easily accessible indexers?
jackett (by the way thanks to those suggesting it here!) lists hundreds of indexers… but how to choose which ones to focus on?

What is a very good bitrate for 4K video files above which it does not make sense to go?
Now you can find the same 4K video from few GBs to a hundred GBs, and I am wondering: where to stop? With music there is a similar phenomenon by which after a certain bitrate it becomes an esoteric art to detect improvements. So, what is your “very good enough” bitrate for 4K videos?
Choppy video from jellyfin on 4K video, what to optimize?
I am running jellyfin in LAN on a Synology. I/O from harddisk shouldn’t be a problem being SSD on the same NAS. And WiFi should sustain a 4K stream. I have tried only web clients. How can I optimize the stream for such large file? Or how can I debug the bottleneck?
About to buy my first private tracker invite from a forum, any suggestions?
First, is the marketplace at torrentinvites.org legit? Second, is it dishonorable to do such things? Third, how to avoid scams? Fourth, are there alternative marketplaces to have a sense of whether the price is right?...
[GONE] Giving away a TL invite. Not selling or trading, it's just yours.
As per title. None of my IRL friends would have a clue what to do with it, so I want it to go to someone who knows what they’re doing....
