*NOTE: I am NOT asking for an invite. I'm very happy to go through the normal channels (IRC, Discord, application, etc).

I think TV Chaos is probably the best current tracker for British TV? I saw that they haven't had open signups for a number of years. Tried joining their chat and didn't get any replies.

Basically looking to get recent seasons of British reality TV (TOWIE, Baby Steps, Love Island, etc) and having a hard time. I'm currently on IPT and TorrentLeech and it's slim pickings. The public trackers don't seem much better (1337z, EXTV, TorrentGalaxy). Any help would be appreciated!

Love Island looks like it’s available on BT4G.org

Oh thank you! So does BT4G pull from other trackers? I don't see a way to add it to Prowlarr.

BT4G is not a tracker, AFAIK they just run a DHT crawler and index torrents they find in their search database.

There are a few sites like that, not sure if any of them have compatibility with Prowlarr / Jackett. Implementing wouldn't be that straightforward e.g. just because a DHT crawler finds an infohash it doesn't mean it is "new" content, just something new to add into its own database. Your Prowlarr / Jackett would keep notifying you ever time it finds a new torrent hash for the same thing you already downloaded.
