If this is too much like fedposting, I can delete it. I currently have a *arr+Jellyfin on a remote server that uses public trackers, but I’d like to set up a home server and not get letters from my ISP telling me to stop pirating. I’ve heard private trackers mostly don’t suffer from this issue, so I was wondering how to get on one or who to contact or what I need.


What kind of stuff are you looking for? A lot of the top tier private trackers are focused on a particular type of thing (music, books, movies, tv, etc). https://www.myanonamouse.net/ is a great place to start, it’s very easy to get an invite after passing a test, and it’s primarily for books. Once you’re on there and build up ratio, you can start getting invites to other private trackers.
Great! I’m looking mostly at TV shows (including anime) and movies, but books are also a thing I look for.
