I am trying to capture costs for starting into homelab/selfhosting.

VPNs, search engines, absolutely everything and anything.

Debatable :) Torrents rely on seeders. I've downloaded movies and TV shows >5 yrs since initial upload via Usenet. Yes, things expire there too (eventually), but when the getting is good, it's uniformly good / fast.

OTOH, 1337 has been pretty decent to me of late.

It's tricky. On one hand, Jellyfin and the arr stack are what got me into self hosting. OTOH...torrents are simpler - I can plug my external SSD directly into my router, which streams to NovaPlayer on any android device - nothing else needed. Want a new show / movie? Grab the torrent, punt it across to ssd via samba share. It auto populates.

It's...simpler. Arguably more elegant / less moving parts.

Dunno.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i'm on two private trackers that aren't that hard to get into and I routinely download 10 plus year old 50 - 100 gb files with good seeds. I have never run into something not decently seeded since I went private.

Which trackers if you don't mind saying? DM me if easier.

Would love to hear about these trackers too!
