I’ve managed to successfully setup the Stremio + Torrential + RD trifecta, but I am extremely disappointed in the amounts of German torrents. There are plenty of English and Russian ones, but I very rarely find on in German and therefore I can’t use the service with my family.

I have set German as our primary language in the Torrentio Settings and I could not find any other Settings that would affect the languages provided. Is the lack of german torrents because of Germany’s strict torrenting regulations or did I just miss something?

    Thanks a lot for the explanations!

    The setup just ain’t right for me. I am extremely happy with the simplicity RD provides and I don’t want to actually store the media on my hardware, nor am I looking forward to letting my PC run throughout most of the day, just so my family can watch whenever they want.

    I guess I will have to accept that I will not be able to reliably get German sources with my setup. I am glad that my family is bilingual and therefore is also happy with watching movies in Russian, which provides more than enough public trackers. Though most current movies don’t actually have proper voice dubs and rely on fan dubs because of the current political situation I think.

      Yes, one of the main reasons I set up *arr was that I have a server running anyway, so I better put it to good use. RD seems gets mentioned a lot and after trying it out for a few weeks the value and simplicity is great.

      Glad to hear that you’re family is bilingual as I won’t get far with english only with mine. That’s a major reason I switched to usenet as it’s easier to find dual language content than getting into private trackers.
