I would like to keep it to torrents, since it doesn’t hurt to improve my setup’s resilience (after all, why not, right?). But at the same time I suspect that usenet might improve my experience, according to what I have been reading online when trying to debug this problem I’m facing.

You are right about the crack in my investigation. It seems like I have to dig deeper, and this is another indicator that maybe the usenet solution would be my best bet here, since I have already added plenty of indexers. You raise a good point about the filters configured in the *arr stack perhaps being “too aggressive” and sleeping on what would be a “good match”. I will look into that.

I do have a specific example of content my setup isn’t finding. I will give it a look later to find a specific season/episode that matches the criteria and report back. I appreciate your willingness to help!

I will keep this in mind, since I strongly suspect that usenet would seriously improve my experience, and comments here seem to corroborate that idea. I appreciate the tip!

If I do a manual search on public indexers (1337x, TBP, etc), I do not find the results I’m looking for. That means I would be out of luck following the standard process.

I am not using the same indexers on prowlarr and stremio. I actually do not use stremio, and from what I found online, they use addons and plugins like torrentio are responsible for doing the heavy lifting. My suspicion is that they rely on private indexers that I’m yet not aware of. By comparing magnet links from my friend’s stremio setup, many of these results actually seem to be available at private indexers.
