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.
