"Why is X so hard to find?" (lemm.ee)

No, I wont name the specific title. I don't want to break Rule 3. But I do want to understand why a movie or show can be so hard to find, because maybe that will lead me to understanding how to find things.

I am surprised how hard it is to find some titles. Maybe it's because the one I'm thinking of is an old title, 60s or 70s era. But it's extremely popular, even today. It's been on hopping around streaming services. One would think it would be readily available on the high seas too. I don't really know how one creates a torrent but I'm assuming anything that can be streamed can be captured. I guess maybe it's just not as popular as I think?

Public or private tracker?

On private trackers we can request stuff and others will have a look if they have it or if they can get it on their trackers.

Unfortunately it's difficult to upload stuff on many trackers but it's easier on quality trackers. The source is even open source so I do not understand why many trackers still have a bad website.

How long are you searching for? Sometimes it just takes time until someone uploads it. That's the beauty of servarr. You request it and some day it'll pop up.

Hmm maybe usnig servarr is the way to go. I couldn't really figure out how I was supposed to configure it. Ideally I would just wanna use a VPN, TPB, and qBit and not fiddle around with any additional programs. It's already confusing enough! But I guess servarr is something I can incorporate into qBit?

+1 servarr It took me a while to navigate the (high) sea of information but eventually I got a setup I like. I started, like you say, just running qBit but found the search results limited and tedious to review manually. Get started with Prowlarr if nothing else. No need to jump in the deep end with everything all at once but once you see how it works you can add other components later.

TPB isnt the best source for media and it can't really hold up to its past glory anymore - you could give other sites like 1337x.to a try
