Started running bitmagnet a few weeks ago after getting fed up with BTDigg dying and other DHT crawlers actually complying with DMCA notices for some reason (???). Pretty much everything even slightly popular that I search for has one of these EXEs lying around. Sometimes multiple.
Bitmagnet has some good filtering to remove garbage like that but not great examples lying around ready to use. I bet an LLM can be pointed at the schema/docs and get you something useful setup though.
I haven't made any configuration to filtering. I don't mind seeing this stuff, I just skip over it when searching. Not even really an inconvenience.
btdigg is fine? (on tor)
Meh, I don't keep Tor running all the time, so the startup delay just to get to BTDigg would be a turn-off. Besides, getting bitmagnet running in a container let me put both it and Deluge behind a VPN, so I don't have to enable a system-wide VPN to torrent, or stop my torrents to turn the VPN off!
