Try Usenet and a Usenet indexer. There are multiple guides on the internet on how to set up and use it, even automatically with some r-apps on a home server.

Usenet is very weird but funny in a way. As it is not actually decentralized and often involves fiat payment (non cryptocurrencies) I would prefer a good VPN provider (or even i2p) and torrenting

arr-stack is the secret weapon.

But for starters just a usenet client, a good usenet indexer and VLC are enough.

Recommended Usenet provider: astraweb with a block account. Buy 1000 GB for 50 €$ and use it over time for years without any subscription necessary.

Neat, I've vaguely heard/seen the term Usenet but haven't looked into it, will do so! Thanks!
