I ran this for about a month when it was first linked on here. It's pretty impressive. I did no performance tuning. Size of the install got a little worrying but i think there's a lot of options to adjust this and i was not ready to put this on block storage yet.
I'll probably give it another shot later down the road.
4 months in my database takes up around 50GB; for the size of a few hi-res movies it's worth it for me...
How's it better than Jackett that is scanning public trackers? Can you find something you wouldn't find otherwise? I understand the problem Bitmagnet tries to solve, but to me the problem is rather hypothetical than real.
Can you find something you wouldn’t find otherwise?
Yes, quite a lot of content that's otherwise difficult to find on the public trackers. Also public trackers can be shut down.
