    My experience precisely. If I can’t find it on mobilism.org, off to myanonymouse. Btw they’re amazing and the servers cost a ton, small donations make a huge difference

    I’ve never been unable to find films etc that I wanted on public trackers, especially with the search function on Qbittorrent. Don’t see the need for elitist wanks on private trackers

    I doubt they’d even have the obscure stuff that won’t download… Hold on…

    The only one sitting at 0% is “Vacuuming Completely Nude In Paradise”, an odd British film. I doubt even a private tracker would have that

      Many private trackers, and even a few public ones, have a request forum. The private ones reward users that fill these requests, so they are often effective.

      There are some very accessible private trackers (sometimes referred to as semi-private) that meet these requirements. Once you get set up, they can be very set-and-forget. Just avoid the forums.

        Yay, one film in the last two years that I could’ve obtained if I had a private tracker instead of public ones

        Think I’ll survive, thanks! 😁

      Replying to say that I will check mine tomorrow. Too late tonight.

      Edit: Mine did not have this film. :(

      I don’t even look anywhere else any more for book related content, straight there, I really like it there. Haven’t been using it for long but already donated and will be doing so again when I am able to for sure!
