I am trying to find a more obscure show (well, not that obscure, just seems to not be seeded much). Do you guys have any tips for this?

Side note: can i ask about specific shows here?

For obscure shows, I add all the torrents I can find, and keep them leeching for at least a day, and then keep only the one that seems to be fastest. Seed count is a little misleading, in that a torrent with 1 dedicated seedbox is often better than one with 10 regular seeds.

Of course there's no instant gratification - I've waited days/weeks for a show sometimes. You can prioritize files in watch order so that you don't need to wait for the entire torrent download to start watching.

That's a good idea, might try that one. Just a bit worried that suddenly my VPN will disconnect and my ISP will catch me. I've binded qbittorrent to the Wireguard interface i have setup (On my linux distro i do not have the Mullvad client and it's easier to use Wireguard then install manually)
