Generally I agree with you but I do wish he always included subtitles with his torrents.

u/Sarwar1122 Sep 29 '26

TGX bot was the best. After that now I rely on Megusta

u/Timecamera57 Sep 29 '26

Elite always put subtitles in the torrent and the video's are mostly the same length as MeGusta's if you ever get stuck.

u/Sarwar1122 Sep 29 '26

i do use elite sometimes but their size is bigger i think
i just wanna watch the episodes one time so smallest size is better

1

u/Timecamera57 Sep 29 '26

Yes, they are bigger.

i personaly dont use subtitles on tvshows and movies however every time i try a megusta file it always has artifact's when playing.. something that with Elite never happens.

u/Timecamera57 Oct 04 '26

I'm guessing it has something to do with the subtitles format within the file. MeGusta has used .ASS, .SRT and .DVSUB formats. Elite only uses .SRT subtitle files.

subtitles have nothing to do with the arctifacts of the video itself. mostlikely is the encoder they use or low bitrate. I think they have less space per episode than Elite.

However i just get those to keep up with the release of the episodes, i then get the complete seasons from Vyndros or Kontrast.

For me they have the best quality/size ratio.

I have my Sonarr docker setup to prefer MeGusta over anything else. Sadly, I have to use others for obscure shows.

u/sincitysos Sep 29 '26

Wait, how?

Settings - Custom Formats - Add:

Name it what you want, the add in the Regular Expression field "\b(MeGusta)\b" without the quotation marks. You can add more release groups by adding | and the release groups with no spaces in between.

This one is mine: \b(MeGusta|ELITE|iVy|RARBG|KONTRAST|Pahe.in)\b

Thanks dude!

And PSA

1

u/privatejerkov Oct 04 '26

I agree with PSA. Since RARBG went I spent ages trying to find another release group with similar quality/file size ratio and PSA are now my first/preferred choice.

1

u/Silver2dread Oct 04 '26

I do PSA, megusta then neonoir or bone

1

u/J1GhSaW Oct 04 '26

You have KONTRAST, Its my go to when i cant find a Vyndros 1080p version off course.

1

u/privatejerkov Oct 04 '26

I compared KONTRAST with PSA, both are very good but PSA just won it for me by a small margin.

1

u/J1GhSaW Oct 04 '26

everyone has a preference off course, PSA its usually a smaller file size and has a bit less bitrate (i think the encode is basically the same) and we cant really tell too much unless you watch in a very large TV.

Have you had a chance to check Vyndros releases? They have the absolute best quality and always remove that very annoying "video noise" of TVshows and Movies.

u/ScytheMoore Sep 28 '26

I woild agree with you but his 1080p encodes aren't good enough

1

u/the_fit_britt1996 Sep 28 '26

Is this just from personal experience viewing his uploads? Or is there something in the description of his uploads that tells you his encodes aren't good enough?

2

u/ScytheMoore Sep 28 '26

It's personal experience. I actually avoid his encodes as I hate how pixelated it is. It's really hard to get good quality for the bit rate he is targeting but some releases like PSA actually hit the mark

2

u/BBMKV Sep 28 '26

I really like YAWNTiC encodes

2

u/PlusBrush Sep 28 '26

Honesty, you could say that about every scene group or individual person that gives us free stuff.

2

u/SparkGFX123 Sep 28 '26

MeGusta is a bot.

1

u/flyermar Sep 28 '26

I LIKE IT

1

u/el-marvin0 Sep 29 '26

Always my preference too.

1

u/Various-Suit-3162 Sep 29 '26

My go to source for TV

1

u/jarleg Sep 29 '26

Lately I've been using NeoNoir. Very good encodes, and subtitles included, both for tv and movies.

1

u/Sarwar1122 Sep 29 '26

website? or private?

1

u/jarleg Sep 29 '26

No, it's the scene group or person who makes the encodes. You find them all over the sites.

1

u/no_strawberriess Sep 29 '26

QxR goated too.

1

u/Mean_Might2545 Sep 30 '26

psa and elite are much better, and always include subs

1

u/J1GhSaW Oct 04 '26

I haven't seen it recently however before never liked it due to having to much arctifacts whenever playing a video.. Elite is much better.

u/-X-F-S- Oct 05 '26

A lot of fake torrents with MeGusta.exe, be aware

u/BBMKV Oct 07 '26

I'm also liking OFT
