So I’ve been getting back into torrenting because I’m fed up with the inability to actually own the music I pay for. I used to torrent a lot back in the day, mostly music with a bit of anime and obscure/foreign movies and TV shows here and there, but that was a long time ago. I had been going back to the most famous of all coastal bodies of water where buccaneers reside, but I just tried too go there only to find it’s currently not working. I know from lurking here that 1337x and rargb are no longer safe and LT doesn’t have much to offer. All I want is music, but it seems most places are geared towards TV and movies. Where does an audiophile turn to in times like these?

    For music you can try rutracker. The site is all in Russian, but you can index with Prowlarr or Jacket.

    Also, you can try joining OPS or Red if you care for lossless.

    I’m in Soulseek, and it’s rare when there is something there and not in RED or OPS. Also, slsk sucks with the speeds and quality of content.

    If you have a spare server, install navidrome and get rid of streaming services.

        OPS and RED are music private trackers. Their names are Orpheus and Redacted.

        You can get into them through interviews, or invites. But if you want to get into any private tracker, at some point you will have to do the interview
