Looking for Home/Flipping Shows Sites (like HGTV content) (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

As the title says, I'm looking for sites that have home show or flipping show type content (basically like stuff on HGTV).

I used to use Rarbg, but well, they're gone. I can occasionally find stuff on 1337x and Torrent Galaxy, but not as regularly as I could on Rarbg. And I haven't had luck with streaming sites (I need to be able to download the shows, too, so if I can't grab it from those streaming sites it will do me no favors).

I'm aware it might simply not exist, and private trackers are not possible to use for me. But figured I'd ask, as I haven't come across anything looking through various megathreads (I could have missed it, of course, considering how large freemediaheckyeah is).

Try torrents-csv.ml

Unfortunate that they purge their database of unseeded torrents. While there wouldn't be the same incentive as on a private tracker for people to come back and reseed something, removing them decreases the likelihood that niche releases stay available in the long term.

Yeah there's pro's and con's to it. I like using it knowing that whatever I search, I'm not searching up dead shit. But you are right also.

I agree. They could have just marked them as dead instead of deleting them.

While long term availability seems to be a problem for lots of reality TV shows, usenet or a private torrent tracker like TorrentLeech should work if the show you're looking for is popular enough. As datacap-free usenet access is usually at least $50 a year ($52 a year for Frugal Usenet + NZBGeek; forgoing the latter would reduce it to $40 a year, but might take a while for several seasons of TV shows since free indexers only offer up to 5 downloads a day each), private torrent trackers would ideally be better, particularly given that they often bundle episodes into season packs. As public trackers have a lower proportion of seeders in comparison, they generally only have the latest seasons of most reality TV shows.

You usually need to grab most reality shows on the day they air because nobody seeds them after a few days. I recommend using some kind of rss feed setup, either through sonarr or with your torrent app.

Showrss.info is pretty good for beginners. It allows you to make a customized rss feed that has the shows you want in the formats you prefer. I checked and they have house hunters. This won't help with back episodes, but at least you can start accumulating the new ones
