Just got into private trackers based off of one of your recent videos. Also snagged a seedbox. I didn’t think I would use the seedbox much, but I love it so much that I’ve migrated all my torrenting over to it. A cool video idea would be to show how to connect our local apps “sonarr/radarr” to use the seedbox’s qbit over our local qbit instance. I’ve set it up, but it feels a little clunky. Would love to see a streamlined version if it’s something you have information on.

I feel like I'd given up untorantina some years ago and have been on Usenet. Minimal cost to access through a backbone and have been happy with the access. Would be interested in pros versus cons, torrent versus Usenet.
