There are quite a few. In order of preference, I used/tried:

• XMPP (Android-Conversations; Windows-Gajim)
• Element/Matrix
• Session
• Discord
• Slack
• Twinme
• Teams
• Skype
• Facebook Messenger
• Instagram DMs

I was using landrop before. Works fine but the GUI was just a bit off, not intuitive enough. That’s Localsend’s biggest improvement IMO.

Same for me. Smart audiobook was great on one device, audiobookshelf even better since being into selfhosting.

To answer directly, MAM is a great private tracker for many reasons, including their epub library. Bibliotik is supposed to be good but harder to get in.

For other options, have a look here.

Falling Lightblocks, available on his own website or GitHub.

You know, I think I was too generous for YGGtorrent. Lately it has been hard to connect it to autobrr and Prowlarr. More of a B tier tracker. I heard good things about HD-Only but it’s been difficult to register. Qctorrent and t411 were the good days.

On the other hand, TL has been a pleasant surprise. I had an account with them for 5 years but forgot and never bothered until recently. It constantly has choice, retention, and decent monitoring. Many TV shows I have also release fast. What stands out is that it’s been very easy to build up my ratio. AR has been similar to TL but it’s taking me three times as long to build up ratio.

Avistaz is specifically for Asian content. Very good for hard to find stuff and their request community is excellent.

There’s a 5 year old Reddit thread where the creator shut down NBL and called out some Redditors and trackers he had beef with, but some didn’t even know why. Seems like he would go on tantrums and easily ban people too.

Just poor ways to manage whatever issues he had. Don’t know much more.

Yes, retention is very good on ANT and NBL. If it wasn’t of the past drama of the site owner, they would be A tier trackers on everyone’s lists IMHO.

It’s a fun compilation, happy to contribute something to it. Happy to give more info if need be.

Additional trackers and my ratings. Curious to see anyone’s take on them.

I highly appreciate a well organized tracker that also accommodates the *arr suite. Also if it’s the best in its category, even if it doesn’t hit the mark on other factors.

If drama doesn’t affect normal use of the website, then it’s not a big factor for me. I only seriously got into the private tracker scene 2 years ago.

Should we include public trackers?

Are you thinking of Vanced? Revanced has been steady ever since I switched almost a year ago.

I usually use slavart, but it’s been unstable lately. With it, you can download anything from Deezer and qobuz.

In Smarttube, go into settings and link device or something similar (edit: remote control). On your phone, go into settings and link TV and input the code Smarttube will give you.

It acts more as a remote, you need to have Smarttube already opened. It’s not perfect, it’s a decent compromise.

Tried both and settled with AntennaPod when there were rumours of Google Podcasts shutting down a few months ago.

I now value more export/import features. I also enjoyed AntennaPod’s queue options more.

I personally enjoy the sliding feature, which also utilizes the right side but without taking any space. Sync and others have it.

Already am! Just used to GitHub and thought I could see a list of what’s being worked on. I imagine beta update posts will bring some light to this.

Thanks!

Thanks for the confirmation! Is there a way to follow development?

Soulseek (nicotine+) and Slavart on divolt (FLAC files from Deezer and Qobuz).

Anyone else has cross-seed configured? I started the process, created the config.json and now I need to configure it. It would be useful to see how someone else set it up and why. I feel the provided explanations in the config file are just a notch too high than what my hobbyist mind can understand atm. Then there’s direct client injection or autotorrent2 I still have to figure out.

For those curious, cross-seed allows you to take what you are seeding and find where else that torrent is and seed it there too, within a defined set of trackers. Perfect for sharin’ ye booty, arr!

Jackett can be incorporated into qbittorrent’s built-in search function.

My go-tos:

slavart (divolt)

rutracker and orpheus.network (through lidarr+prowlarr)

Soulseek (nicotine+)
