How to know when good quality movie torrents are available? (lemmygrad.ml)

Right now I'm looking forward to watching two movies: "The Boy and the Heron" and "Godzilla Minus One"

Neither is on streaming services or BluRay yet. Which means that good quality torrents (IMO at least web-rip) are not available yet.

Is there a good way of figuring out when a decent torrent is available? I don't mean setting up some service like sonarr/radarr because those seem overkill (though my mind on this can be changed with a persuasive argument). Rather maybe some website I can check? Thanks.

Radarr must use some API that you can check - it knows when things are still in theater so it waits until things have a digital or physical release before trying to download, and I find it helpful to log in to radarr because hovering over the movie year shows theatrical/digital/physical release dates but that information is probably available separately from whatever source it uses.

Any idea if Radarr is worth using with just public torrent trackers?

That's what I do and it works great for me, most of what it grabs comes from 1337x, nyaa.si, torrent Galaxy, one of the kickass clones, extra torrent, and piratebay. I don't use private trackers or Usenet at all. Same with sonarr. Both are hooked up to prowlarr which makes it so easy to add new public trackers in a few clicks.

Actually for the first several years I just used sonarr/radarr for renaming and getting insight into the composition of my collection (ie checking series completeness, finding stuff I wanted to upgrade, etc). Only in the last few years have I actually started using it for download automation.

Thank you buddy. I'll check it out.
