Can you find something you wouldn’t find otherwise?

Yes, quite a lot of content that’s otherwise difficult to find on the public trackers. Also public trackers can be shut down.

4 months in my database takes up around 50GB; for the size of a few hi-res movies it’s worth it for me…

The DHT is basically the wild west - EVERYTHING is on there (but that is also the power of it). Bitmagnet is attempting to overlay some order on it, make it more easily usable, and automatically filter the truly harmful content. Once the core features are more fleshed out, chapter 2 will hopefully look more like a fediverse with curation and moderation. There’s still lots to be done but it’s getting there!

Yes, see https://bitmagnet.io/tutorials/servarr-integration.html

Hi, yes this is mentioned on the installation page of the website, below the Docker instructions. The app can be installed Dockerless using go install; if you choose this option you’ll have to provide and configure Postgres and Redis instances for the app to connect to. That said, Docker is the recommended and easiest option.
