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.
