I recommend using Usenet for German stuff, all the private trackers I have tried in the past were... seedy.
Yes, you need to pay for access to the Usenet, but it's worth it for German language audio IMO.
Check out scenenzbs.com, no need to pay to search there. Check if everything you need is available, though likely, it will be.
I have not had a failed download yet.
All DEs are jank. The only good DE is the tiling wm I put 10k lines of config into.
Don't get me wrong, that's also janky, but it's my ~~fault~~ jank.
