Hello, recently I’ve been on the hunt for a private music tracker to populate my Lidarr Instance, I’ve found REDacted and Orpheus quite appealing, but they’re “hard” to get into and are mostly for audiophiles.

I’m not an audiophile (more like a brokeyphile) and I don’t want to wait 3-5 weeks on something I’ll be just seeding instead of being active, do y’all have any recommendations? All I can offer is seeding 24/7 and a few proofs that I have good ratios

    When I say I’ll use Lidarr I don’t mean like I’ll download it and then delete it a few months later, I normally perma-seed, I just wanted to have a reason to use Lidarr since I’ve set it up lol

    Usenet tends to be expensive and quite a shot in the dark especially in Brazil, so I’ll be sticking to Private Trackers for now.

      Even perma seeding, redacted is hard. There really aren’t enough seeders to make it worthwhile. You basically need to do what you can to get free leech tokens and then use them wisely.

      Lidarr can tank your ratio quick and the time it takes to upload the same amount can be months. Soulseek is another option to help build out your library. But I don’t know if it can be combined with lidarr.

      Don’t get me wrong, it’s a great site and I love it. I just don’t think it’s a good fit for lidarr.

        Yeah, Lidarr and Red are not a great fit… Too many options and unless you wrote super complex filters you’d wind up with the weirdest version of each album.

        It took a bit to get established there, but with the tokens they’ve been more freely giving lately it’s not too bad. There’s also a point when you are perma seeding that it starts to coast along and just take care of itself… I now see more seeding after I download something ironically.

        Seeding is a fickle beast there, but I’m glad to have em.
