Can you find something you wouldn’t find otherwise?
Yes, quite a lot of content that's otherwise difficult to find on the public trackers. Also public trackers can be shut down.
4 months in my database takes up around 50GB; for the size of a few hi-res movies it's worth it for me...
The DHT is basically the wild west - EVERYTHING is on there (but that is also the power of it). Bitmagnet is attempting to overlay some order on it, make it more easily usable, and automatically filter the truly harmful content. Once the core features are more fleshed out, chapter 2 will hopefully look more like a fediverse with curation and moderation. There's still lots to be done but it's getting there!
Scraping torrent sites will be avoided is it'll be prohibitively slow and break the self-sufficiency concept - we'll infer as much as possible from the torrent meta info alone. You could have a guess at the bitrate from the file sizes. Sonarr/Radarr will already do this for you with quality profiles I think.
Hi, the default port is 3333, which should be exposed if you're using the example configuration here: https://bitmagnet.io/setup/installation.html - I'm not sure what the app is in your screenshot but the provided config definitely exposes that port and is tested on Docker for Mac.
Hi, yep that's expected. Torrents will only move out of "Unknown" once the classifier is able to categorise them. The classifier currently only supports movie and TV show content, and can recognise these with quite high accuracy assuming a well-named torrent (and a badly named torrent is unlikely to be a high quality release). The other content types (music, games etc) can currently only be populated via an import (see the tutorial on the website). A priority feature is classifiers for other content types - however we will likely always have a lot of torrents ending up in "Unknown" given the poor naming of many crawled items. Another roadmap feature, smart deletion, could help in future with getting rid of all the rubbish whose contents cannot be inferred from the torrent name.
