Was using rarbg (rip) and rutracker. I’m not on any music private tracker since I didn’t want to deal with chasing ratio. I know RED is an option to get into but I wasn’t sure if it’s worth it since I thought the more common standard was to have FLAC with cue so I expected that to be the norm on PTs. What do you recommend?
I use OPS and there is definitely a bit of ratio chasing to start with. The tradeoff is the near-guarantee of quality and consistency. You can also load a whole bunch of public trackers into something like prowlarr and set quality filters in lidarr and it should give each available torrent a score and only download those that meet your conditions.
I’m using lidarr and yet to find flac albums that aren’t already split. Everything plays on Plexamp for me without issue. What sources are you using?
