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?

Add a bunch to Prowlarr (filter by public, Torrent, Language, category) and then monitor the stats in Prowlarr to remove the ones not working out for you.

MagnetDownload has the highest number of successful grabs for me. Followed by TorrentProject2. I run a Bitmagnet instance though, and I have that as highest piority.

I keep getting annoying fake torrents where they put a bunch of junk into an archive and then give that the name of the thing that I'm tracking. The *arrs say "yep, file's there, you might need to extract it yourself though, not sure what's going on there" and Jellyfinn just never gets the files, because they're not real.
