A few months ago I grabbed this torrent from rarbg, and it took weeks to download. Often going days with no seeders.

I finally got it, and decided I'd seed beyond my usual 2x to help others get this. Then rarbg went under, and now I think I'll just keep this one going.

Stop using torrents and start using newsgroups.

Here's a good guide, t's old, but nothing should be too different.

Use radar instead of Couch Potato.

You can find up to date guides for any of the individual products.

I recommend NZBgeek's lifetime subscription.

Then, set torrents as your news group's backup and you should be good to go.

Spend an evening setting this up and you'll be golden. Just subscribe to any shows or movies you want and it will automatically download them when they are available.

You can set preferences around quality, file size, language, format, etc

It's safer, faster, more reliable, and much easier to automate.

I only paid $20 for a lifetime subscription.
