I’m starting to collect some documentaries for my server but having a hard time finding torrents on the public sites. Is there a torrent site that specializes in documentaries?
You must log in or # to comment.
Have you considered your local library? A lot of them have an excellent dvd/blu-ray selection especially when it comes to documentaries.
I know it is a little more work but you also get a lot more control of how you rip it.
Also, in the US, many libraries give you free access to the Kanopy streaming service which has a lot of documentaries on it.
its not torrents, and mainly german. but id be remiss not to mention https://dokujunkies.org/ maybe there is something, anything relevant on there. cheers and good luck!
Not torrents, but this one https://documentaryheaven.com/ from https://fmhy.net/ looks promising
I’ve heard good things about mvgroup.
https://forums.mvgroup.org/index.php is my go-to for documentary torrents.
Consider non-torrent P2P platforms like eMule/eD2K. If you know what the name of you’re looking for, there’s a fair amount of obscure material to be downloaded that can be difficult to find otherwise.
eD2K is slow, but effective.
Is this similar to Soulseek or Napster/Kazaa in the old days?
I believe that eD2K was the next P2P to gain wide popularity after those went down.
It’s de-centralized, so unlike Napster/Kazaa, the feds can’t take it down by seizing only one server, which they have tried.
