I would suggest getting a seedbox and joining a private torrent site like torrentleech. That’s what I use and then upload to my NAS that runs Plex and can view from anywhere on any device.
How do you join a private site?
Aren't they all invite only?
You can visit this site and they show which private trackers have open signups. You can also buy an invite to certain private trackers. https://www.invitescene.com/forum/34-open-trackers/
Some, like torrentleech, do open invites on a regular basis. But most do not and you'll need an invite to get in
That is the definition of private tracker, yeah. Doesn't require much work to join some entry level ones though, and is worth it. Keen an eye out for open signups.
I tried private trackers a while back (namely for music with what.cd) and it really wasn't worth it. the stuff they had on there was all just stuff you could find anywhere. and they're so tryhard about ratio that you really couldn't download anything. and any attempts to seed just resulted in larger/faster seedboxes doing the work most of the time.
