Recently learned about this stuff on a Lemmy World post and I thought I’d move the conversation here since they’ve been fussy about DB0 in the past....
The *arr services are fantastic for helping you organize your content as you download them. They won’t find anything that you wouldn’t be able to find yourself, though. You feed it your indexers via Jackett or Prowlarr for torrents, or NewzNab (or equivalent) for Usenet. What shows up on my Sonarr searches is likely very different than somebody else’s since we likely have different indexers.
If you are looking for content that is hard to find I would recommend getting into Usenet or joining a private tracker.
If you want to get into building a large library and hosting your it on a Plex/Jellyfin/Emby server, I would recommend getting into Sonarr and Radarr, and then learning about the other *arrs.
This works best when your services are all running through a browser. You can set up most torrent clients to only work through a vpn. The rest of your traffic should be fine unless you don’t want your ISP to know that you’ve visited torrent sites.
I don’t think you’ll find many providers that offer free trials, although I stand to be corrected. But some will accept crypto so if you don’t want to give your credit card details you could try that.
I’m looking to go into Usenet / premiumize / real Debrid but I don’t know which ones are reputable. Which ones have you all had luck with or liked? And what was the cost?
For me it was several days before an episode released on streaming services due to a leak. But in general I’ve got every episode of every show I watch downloaded, unpacked, renamed, moved into my library, and ready to watch in Jellyfin within an hour after it’s aired. I’ve never sat down with a timer, but I reckon sometimes the whole process is much less than an hour.
In my case the slowest process is the unpacking, but only because I’ve allotted two of my 10 cores for it. My server does a lot of other things and I don’t need slowdowns every time a new episode airs.
I’m currently running Nicotine+ on my PC for audio downloading, and it works great. However, if I want to download some music on another device, I have to remote in, download the album I want, and then transfer the files to the other device. Since my mobile reception is not very good where I work, I download music to listen...
Wow slskd has come a long way since I used it last. I tried for what seems like years for it to work but it would always restart and set all settings to default.
Posting something in a public forum and having that be posted elsewhere is not bad for privacy. What’s bad for privacy is social media megacorps installing apps that extract unreasonable amounts of personally identifying data and selling those databases to the highest bidder.
How do Sonarr / related services work?
