So, I’m a little behind the times here… should I be moving away from torrent search sites to this new fangled spot stuff?
Well, it depends.
This specific application here is for usenet, so it is of no use to those who torrent.
If you do casual coughs torrenting and search for your stuff once in a while and download on your main machine, then no. Theres no need for anything else.
If you self host a media server, maybe a torrent client on the same machine, an arr stack can help out with it to the point that you will no longer visit a torrent site again. Once set up, instead of searching directly on a specific site, you would visit a self hosted page for say, movies, and search there. The search would be handled by another self hosted app which would search from a list of torrent sites you configured.
