To be clear, this is just a joke, and I don’t look down on direct downloading. It absolutely has its place, and sometimes I do it myself if it’s just faster to download a file directly. Torrenting is just so much more convenient, though, especially when using Jackett’s manual search.

    nope. Every time I try them, they fuck up my movies / series categorization. They have bad support for multilingual content (or maybe the releasers should use better naming). To be honest I never understood why radarr and sonarr is useful. How many movies are you watching that downloading becomes a time wasting effort? For TV series, why don’t you download packs that contain the entire season?

    For each movies I spend less than a minute for the torrent search, for tv series less than 5 minutes just because I am picky on quality. Given how many problems people have with the -arr stack, I think my time is better spent like this. Maybe stuff would be different with usenet

      Because not every movie and episode that I want to watch is already released. Radarr/sonarr lets me subscribe and downlod the correct movie/episode when available in the quality profile that I want.

      Also automatically sorting everything in a useful structure when I share my plex libraries with friends and family.
