What public indexers do people advise for audio?

I am using Lidarr, so the pool of options is somewhat limited. Naturally it would be preferable to have access to one or two private trackers, such as Redacted or Orpheus, but life is what it is (invites are understandably hard to come by).

    Honestly I gotta second SLSK here. More specifically nicotine+ since it’s better. That and yt-dlp works on bandcamp and youtube music (if this whole youtube bullshit hasn’t fucked it up, I haven’t checked but I also haven’t noticed the outcry I’d expect.)

    It’s not torrenting but for music it’s better. Protip, slap just over 1k files in your “shares” folder to evade the autoban jerks.

      Have followed your advice and installed Nicotine+

        What is shared is less important than “whatever it is” just being shared. The bans are usually automated plugins that check your files when you dl from the user and if it returns
