I’ve sailed the high seas for a while starting with Emule, through MIRC, torrenting, mega(upload) and many more.
Lately I’ve been using a p4s service on plex but they kept having issues so I stopped it. I don’t mind paying but I want
- the latest episodes of my content as it comes out
- great quality with little to no compression
- english subtitles, original voice (whether english, japanese…)
- 100% uptime.
I’m assuming my p4s service was not downloading new episodes by hand, so there must a (set of) OSS software to automatically download new episodes of a predefined set of TV shows / anime, add subtitles, and make it available as a plex server or similar no? I’m a software developer so not affraid to run a few docker containers on a local server
Sonarr for TV shows Radarr for Movies Lidarr for Music others for books etc.
These can be use with torrent sites (but you’ll be dealing with torrent quality files), or hooked up to Usenet indexers which search the usenet for the shows/films/etc you are after.
Usenet tends to have much higher quality copies of files available.
They then pass the info to SABNZBD or NZBGet (other options available) which you hook up to a Usenet provider to actually download the files.
Indexers have free options, but paid are better, and providers are always paid iirc.
Thanks, I’ll have a look over all that over the weekend.
Why do you mean by torrent quality? I’ve been torrenting for years and never had any quality issues.
