If you can’t find something on piracy trackers you just need better trackers.

That's not always true. There are a lot of obscure/niche products that just aren't popular enough for there to be perpetual seeders for all of them. Plenty of things have been lost to the annals of time, unfortunately. It doesn't help that some companies will still witch-hunt pirates offering their ancient products that the company no longer even offers a way to procure legitimately (cough Nintendo cough).

The defaults picked out by Radarr sometimes fail. Not sure where it's pulling Seed/Leech figures from but those are never right. The only way to find out it to try downloading a few and then nuke the ones that have least seeders you can connect to.

I think that's why Jackett is recommended to use with Sonarr/Radarr now. I just got my unraid server (mostly) running and that was one of the recommendations I saw made frequently.

I use Prowlarr. Maybe it's that. I dunno if anything produces the right figures tbh.

Surely something has to connect to the torrent servers to see how many seeds there are, and that can even take the torrent program a little while to find them all.

I've only had one torrent fail at 99% so far as the last "seed" seemed to be fake.

That simply isn't true. Some stuff is obscure, especially if it's in a less-spoken language or it's dubbed content for a less-spoken language.

Other times the torrent exists but it has no seeders.
