Bitmagnet Allows People to Run Their Own Decentralized Torrent Indexer Locally

Unlike well-moderated torrent sites, Bitmagnet adds almost any torrent it finds to its database. This includes mislabeled files, malware-ridden releases, and potentially illegal content. The software tries to limit abuse by filtering metadata for CSAM content, however.

There are plans to add more curation by adding support for manual postings and federation. That would allow people with similar interests to connect, acting more like a trusted community. However, this is still work in progress.

I think it's not ready for mainstream use yet, but seems absolutely promising. This will be the most important, how they will solve this without a central authority. Here in the Fediverse admins are basically this authority, I can't imagine how it could work in a true P2P fashion.

I ran this for about a month when it was first linked on here. It's pretty impressive. I did no performance tuning. Size of the install got a little worrying but i think there's a lot of options to adjust this and i was not ready to put this on block storage yet.

I'll probably give it another shot later down the road.

Looks good! Can it go with prowlarr?

Pointed sonarr at it works really good for recently released popular stuff
