In arr stack how to pick indexers? - Lemmy.zip

I had a small media library for myself, and wanted to automate it a bit more, so implemented arr stack (prowlarr, radarr, lidarr), it seems to work but I’m not sure how to pick indexers. I have no experience with it, and I initially just picked a public one, but it barely ever seems to download something. I’m a bit confused about it, should i just pick as many as I can? Or join a private one? But no idea where to start there. Any advice or push in the right direction would be appreciated.

I got away with using public indexers for years with very few issues. The occasional .lnk or .exe, but that was of no issue to my Linux Mint host other than having to manually mark the release as failed and find another.

Recently transitioned to a free private tracker after an invite and zero false positives since. Mostly downloading new releases for TV/Movies, often within hours of release.

Same story here.

Have two private trackers now, but started with just using the ones I had heard of, and removed a few that kept coming up short.

It works fine, but torrents died quite fast as most people don’t bother seeding there.
For new stuff it worked fine

How does one get an invite to a private tracker is it based on seeding or something?

It was actually from lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/OpenSignups if I remember correctly.

There seem to be more and more .exes and .scrs lately.

RarBG was the worst for .scr

Set your download client to ignore file types you don’t want. Like sample files, exe, .dll etc

Yes I had totally done that! It was just an always expanding list as they tried different extensions.

No issues now with a private tracker, ever.
