In Show HN: Every single torrent is on this websiteWe had a discussion here https://github.com/bitmagnet-io/bitmagnet/issues/11
With the related changes bitmagnet shouldn't have the blatant misbehavior of magnetico (anymore). Though I haven't looked at its in-the-wild behavior, so I can't vouch for how spec-compliant the implementation plays in practice.
In Bitmagnet Allows People to Run Their Own Decentralized Torrent Indexer LocallyYou could run your own personal instance of a DHT scraper / indexer via bitmagnet[0].
Make sure to read the docs for minimising database size and traffic volume pending available resources.

In Amazon Prime Video starts showing ads in January unless you pay $2.99/month xtraI've been unable to get this running; I gave it a postgres user and database, granted it ownership and all permissions on said DB, and there's nothing in the database.
Edit: found the init schema and things seem to be working now: https://github.com/bitmagnet-io/bitmagnet/blob/main/migratio...
It would be really nice to be able to sort by header (size, seeders) and/or some filters for seed/downloaders (for example, filtering out anything with less than X seeds.)
In Bitmagnet: A self-hosted BitTorrent indexer, DHT crawler, and torrent searchAuthor here. FWIW I wasn't intending this to make it onto HN, having posted about this on Lemmy looking for beta testers. The current version of the app is very much a preview. There's much further work to be done and this will include as far as possible ensuring Bitmagnet is a "good citizen". The suggestions made on the GH issue look largely feasible and I'll get round to looking at them as soon as I can.

> The DHT implementation was largely borrowed from Magnetico (https://github.com/boramalper/magnetico) a popular and widely used app which is likewise unable to service these requests.
