With the collapse of hqcollect I’m not really sure where to get the kind of content one would find on manyvids, patreon, or onlyfans. This stuff seems to not really show up in indexers on Usenet (dog, geek, etc) or my preferred private tracker (ipt). I’ve even gone as far as digging into spotweb for this stuff. Am I just in the wrong indexers or trackers? I really prefer to stick to direct downloads (Usenet or straight https) over torrents so I admittedly just avoid that space unless it is a last resort

I've seen a few ddl sites that host that kind of content, they're all pretty sketch. There are some forums out there where people upload and there is a community (can't remember any off-hand). Best bet is trackers, unfortunately for you.

It seems like I need to be in the market for a new tracker with fresher content than ipt. Can anyone point me in a direction

Empornium has a decent collection of what you want, just a few days ago they started to distribute invites for the members, so you might be in luck.

Other than that, it's basically Kemono and simpcity, both are very unreliable though.

pornolab is always open for signups, and russian. Happyfappy opens up frequently. Either than that, pornbay and empornium are the best, but harder to get into.

I think your issue may be the direct download preference. Since a torrent file is not a hosted copy of pirated content, but merely a call sheet to other computers that are sharing it, in my experience they seem to stay up longer than hosted copies of videos. Not DMCA-immune but maybe more resistant? Private trackers aren't scraped by Google the way other parts of the internet seem to be, which is how studios and creators track down their content and play DMCA whack-a-mole. I see quite a lot of OnlyFans and Patreon content on my private torrent sites.

I may be misunderstanding what Usenet is or how it works, but this is my anecdotal experience.
