I’m wondering why it sometimes takes so long to find releases of shows that just aired. I feel like I used to get them really quick for popular shows, but it’s been a while since I’ve had a show I try to get right away.
I have a number of sources I use, both private (IPT and TL) and public, but they all seem to get new shows around the same time. Recently I’ve been trying to get Jeopardy Masters, but it doesn’t seem to show up until some time after midnight, and all the releases seem to show up around the same time.
Am I missing a key way to get releases earlier?
You must log in or # to comment.
It might just be that all the releases are already showing up at the earliest possible time?
Each release group will have their own preferred venue for initial upload, but it should propagate across the scene within an hour or two.
That sounds right, there is a delay from the time a live show airs to the time/day it shows up on one of the big official streaming websites. It’s not instant.
Maybe if someone is posting a lower quality live capture that could end up being a bit faster? But if someone were already doing that with that show you would’ve seen it most likely. And that still means having to wait until the show ends before anything else happens.
The other option is IPTV sources (not torrents) where you could maybe just watch a live stream. I don’t use that so can’t offer any advice but it’s probably discussed in the wiki and FMHY pages (and earlier Lemmy posts).
