I've had one running for over a year now, it's replaced my usage of regular torrent sites completely, there is a lot of junk, and it gets stale, but it's still a better experience than most of the public trackers out there IMO
Same here, for over a year. how many torrents has yours indexed?

probably worth adding some ML filter to it because yeah, most of the bulky stuff in bittorrent is always going to be garbage - a lot like the internet generally, the value is in filtering the good stuff out
out of curiosity, what kind of junk/garbage is typical?

Anything I don't have! Sometimes I'll find a torrent and no seeds/peers and I'll wonder if there is another torrent out there that has the same files in it somewhere that I can find. The other day it was trying to track down some older High Times issues that were torrented but the torrent is dead. Last night it was a mag titled Films & Filming which I know is scanned, but I can't find anywhere.
Can I get a copy for the Internet Archive? Will take as much of the corpus as you’re willing to provide. (no affiliation with them)

High Times is mostly on archive.org, if you need that one. I'd sort of like the film-making one, I'll put some time into that. On my list of periodicals, I think the count's up to 500 that I consider important enough to archive and I'm nowhere near done with it.

I disabled mine because it was constantly writing to my SSD.
You would need a unique IP to overcome this per n nodes. That could be tens of thousands of IPs.
Bitmagnet - https://bitmagnet.io/ - does exactly that. I left it running for a few weeks and then stopped the crawler. Didn't expect much, but still somewhat disappointed by the garbage it reeled in.
"It's just `docker compose up` dude." that's not excuse for unnecessary complexity. software for a single person should be a single binary that anyone can run how they choose. If they want to use Docker, great. If they want to run it in a terminal, great. If they want to run it on a server, great. If they want to run it on their phone, great.
developers: avoid limiting people artificially like this. There is no way that Sqlite is insufficient for this.
