AFAIK the only usenet indexer specialized in audiobook content is https://abook.link

There are no usenet indexers specialized in ebook/book content. You'd have to try your luck with general usenet indexers, or try searching for those manually outside of Readarr automation, or try non-usenet sources.

Haha, yes the same frog with a brick from the other site.

I do also recognize the bear with a hammer, welcome to the Fediverse :)

qBittorrent seems to be the only foss torrent client with both i2p and sonarr support

Just FYI both BiglyBT and PicoTorrent have I2P support. Also keep in mind the I2P router itself has a built in torrent client.

Unfortunately none of those have direct Sonarr support but you should be able to use them as a Sonarr Torrent Blackhole if need be.

I think (?) you should be able to use Sonarr normally (in clearnet) & have it send the .torrent files to the blackhole folder where your torrent client auto picks it up as a watch folder. The torrent client is the one doing the actual downloading so if it's already configured for I2P then it'll do the torrenting via I2P.

Granted I don't have that sort of setup here on my end but it should work fine AFAICT (someone using I2P regularly can confirm)

EDIT: Just FYI there's no guarantee you'll find torrent peers within the I2P network but you can always try & see what happens. The same torrent hashes would work regardless of I2P or clearnet. And technically you may end up finding peers via I2P outproxies but I'm not too sure if it's a good idea to flood outproxies with torrent traffic long term.

Maybe the Open Signups thread in !trackers@kbin.social if it gets active.

If PicoTorrent meets your needs then you're fine, it's a great torrent client.

I tend to use qBittorrent, Deluge, rTorrent/ruTorrent.

Below is the list of desktop/server torrent clients people have mentioned over on the old subreddit.

• BiglyBT
• BitTorrent Classic / uTorrent Classic (current versions are essentially the same client nowadays)
  • or uTorrent 2.2.1 (try here)
• BitTorrent Web / uTorrent Web
• Deluge
• Exatorrent
• FrostWire
• JSTorrent
• KTorrent
• PicoTorrent
• Porla
• qBittorrent
• rTorrent
• Tixati
• Transmission
• Tribler
• Vuze
• WebTorrent Desktop

I'll just add that it's best to avoid current versions of BitTorrent/uTorrent/Vuze nowadays. (Vuze users should migrate to BiglyBT)

I know those site admins like to spam Reddit but beyond that I can't tell why people recommend it. The team behind it are the same people that run tons of proxy sites essentially pretending to be 1337x, TPB, etc.

In other words that site is essentially a 1337x mirror with the word "RARBG" in the name. I looked at the first page of their "Recent Torrents" and they are all from 1337x.

Not to mention the ads are insane there, most normal people won't even be able to do anything there LOL.

And they link a non-functional RSS page while the real RARBG had an awesome RSS feed. If they had that I'd cut them some slack, it'd be a 1337x mirror with a working RSS feed at least. (the actual 1337x has no RSS feeds)

Most people have settled on TorrentGalaxy, 1337x, Rutracker, etc. Or work your way into private torrent trackers, they were always better than RARBG anyway.

"Best" is probably going to be private torrent trackers.

But if you meant public torrent indexers then the top ones in terms of web traffic are 1337x, ruTracker, TPB, Rutor, & TorrentGalaxy.

Most people that were using RARBG have ended up at 1337x and TorrentGalaxy.

For what it's worth if you just need a website to search the old RARBG torrents https://rarbg.best might be a good fit.

PS A lot of these sites are also linked at the other torrent site community !torrent_trackers@lemmy.ml

I do own & use cryptocurrencies a bit but would never had thought to link Lemmy to anything crypto related. Don't even follow any crypto communities around here.. being part of the Reddit exodus, over on Reddit there's so much spam and shills surrounding the topic that I avoid those communities there too.

My guess is you just happened to run into a random crypto bro.

Automation apps have gotten more popular over the years so yes, they are still a thing.

Sonarr/Radarr are the most popular ones but there are others too. Most work with torrents and usenet but you'd need to check the individual projects to be sure.

Presumably you're ripping to archive/store that data long term in which case you should use a lossless codec like FLAC.

OTOH if you're planning on re-ripping these CDs every year or something then it doesn't really matter what codec you use since you're going to do the work all over again anyway.
