Eh, one they get radarr/sonarr/lidarr setup- it does EVERYTHING for you.
The only downside, you do need a usenet account, which costs a few bucks. But- once you go usenet, you will never go back.
“once you go usenet, you will never go back.” true.
Been a torrent kiddie since the old days and thought this was the end all be all of online availability of stuff i want.
Friend of me got an unlimited account on fastusenet and let me hook into it. 20€/y for a very nice german & international newsgroup forum with unlimited API access that was made with sonarr / radarr in mind.
I can and don’t want to ever go back…it’s blazing fast, whenever i find something, i can be certain that it’s there and ready for download; Unlike torrents… just bcs u got a magnet doesn’t mean there are enough seeders. And then it takes sooooooo long. On usenet i get my 350mbit/s and it can even be unpacked while being downloaded.
That way i can request a movie and watch it in ~20min even if it’s a BR-REMUX that is like 80~90GB
I happily pay for that!
The only time I ever even consider using torrents, is for an obscure piece of content which I cannot find on usenet.
And even then, I do it all manually. There is too much “bad” content hosted there.
Edit- Please ignore my random downvote. nohbdyuno really… loves downvoting my comments for some odd reason.
Does that forum/indexer also have spanish content? German seems to be rare also. But that’s for both Usenet and BitTorrent.
Which German forums can you recommend? Would like to check it out as I cannot find any German content on public trackers.
Usenet is very nice for home use. I used it for years. SSL encrypted, no need to use Bittorrent over VPN. Always max download speed. The parity part was annoying on a HDD but now that I have a Gen5 NVME it is incredibly fast.
I’m back using the same setup on a Seedbox and private trackers. I share access to my media library and I have Ombi setup so my family can add their own things to Sonarr/Radarr. Since it’s on a 50Gb connection it can handle bittorrent with no issue so I don’t bother paying for Usenet.
