I normally use usenet, but I use torrent as backup. I heard of https://ext.to/, what are other that are good?

    It’s so worth it. I spent many years pirating stuff manually by downloading the torrent file, adding it to my torrent program, unzipping it, and using a file browser to select game.of.thrones.s01e01.1080p.proper.webrip.whatever.fuckme.mkv. One day I was like fuck it, we’ll do it live and I dove into the whole plex/sonarr/radarr/jackett thing and it streamlined the piracy problem to the point that I very rarely even have to do anything beyond opening up a web browser and typing the name of whatever I’d like to have added to plex and the rest just happens automatically.

    It grabs only the torrents in the language you specify with exactly the bitrate and resolution you specify, it unzips stuff and puts it in a correctly named directory with organized filenames and grabs the movie posters and thumbnails. I almost never even have to log into my torrent site. I usually only go there so my account doesn’t get disabled for not logging in frequently enough.

    As a bonus sonarr and Radarr have a calendar page so you can see when the stuff you want is expected to air in the future.

      Dude that’s a killer feature. Right now I just use the qbittorrent built in search function, which works fine to be honest. But having it automated (with automated renaming of files?) Would be so much better, although I might need more storage then

        I just started recently. Piece of piss to set up and yes more storage is needed in the near future because i started to grab music as well (although recent events have slowed this). 8tb only goes so far…
