I like watching things like educational tv or some competition shows if they are
objective and have good sportsmanship… stuff that definitely does not appear in
the top ten list, probably not the top 50 list. Assuming I should not mention
show names here but will mention on DM if woul;d help.

I’ve found public torrent sites and dht searches can be hit or miss. For older
episodes, if I can even find torrents at all, then there are no seeds. But some
of the shows I like, it seems like the scene release groups just completely
ignore them… despite covering past seasons. I’ve had this happen with 2
different shows (one while rarbg was still around, another just this last
month). One I’m currently looking for, I found only EZTV covering and they
completely skipped one of the episodes.

I’ve had bad experiences with private trackers in the distant past. But even if
I was willing to try again, I saw one or too that want you to reveal your real
(e.g. non-VPN) IP addres and am waay too fuckign paranoid to do that. Do you
guys think I’d have better luck on usenet? If not, is there something else you
guys would recommend? I am looking to have offline copies similar to what you
get with torrents (streaming might be an option if there are ways to download
that don’t require me being smart enough to do video editing or having to
manually record)

edit: just to clarify, I ahve read the megathread here and on the old pre-reddit
migration r/piracy. have tried practically every public torrent tracker and dht
search engine (btdig/solidtorrents/etc) i can think of as well as looking on
most of the direct download sites i can access.

   Can you provide some examples of what you are looking for? There are a
   handful of private edu trackers that may have the content you desire.

     edit: was thinking i couldn’t mention show nsmes but after re-reading rule
     3, i think it meant more for linking to specific things or requesting
     links. especially after seeing posts like this I think merely mentioning
     show names might not be as big a deal as I originally thought.
     
     Mods, if i am mistaken, please delete this comment or message me and tell

     shows I was referring to in main post were Forgeed in Fire and Tuff as

     I’d be curious about a private Edu tracker. I have invites for a private
     tracker to trade.

   Usenet most likely. I’m in the same boat, french documentaries. I found a
   private torrent tracker, but you need to share.

     Have you found a private tracker that works well for documentaries? I’ve
     tried TorrentLeech, FileList, MVGroup, and usenet so far, but my to-find
     list still has several releases I have yet to find in 1080p (despite most
     such documentaries having released since 2010). MVGroup is the best tracker
     for documentaries I’ve found so far, but they tend to upload lots of
     documentaries a tier below their optimal resolutions (ie 2160p
     documentaries in 1080p and 1080p documentaries in 720p).

         Are they safe for taking money? I’m trying to download some of my kids
         shows in French but it’s says my ratio will be too low and I need to
         pay. I’m happy to pay but if my visa becomes compromised I’m not too
         pumped…

           I didn’t pay. You open an account and you have a ratio, so you can
           start downloading some torrents. But you need to keep them active and
           seed to have at least a positive ratio.
           
           I didn’t share enough the first time and my account was closed, so I
           opened a second account through proxies.

             Is it based on active time that increases your ratio or actual
             seeding?
             
             Thanks for getting back to me!

   Depends on the urgency. Usenet, indexer and something like sonar is effective
   if used in a fire and forget style. Episodes will be downloaded when they are
   reposted but that may be months or years later.

     In this case, one of the shows was aired recently and my public torrent rss
     feeds didn’t find it (I did not have a rss for EZTV at the time and they
     appear to be the only ones who covered it, but like I said, they completely
     skipped one of the episodes…). I think for sonaar, I would need to have
     usenet indexer already for it to pull from it (used to use it just for
     torrents) so seems like it wouldn’t make a big difference here cz its a
     cart before the horse kind of problem.
     
     e.g. sonaar would need me to add more sources first… but i don’t know which
     sources other than public torrents are good for this kind of thing.

     Problem with PBS is that each of their releases has an availability time
     limit, making finding their older content at optimal resolutions difficult.
