I’m German and seems ‘we’ rely more on file hosters than torrenting. There are lots of tv series and movies with both the original audio track and the dubbed one on sites like funxd, serienjunkies, serienfans… They mostly redirect to a filecrypt.cc folder and then I get a DLC file to download the parts from turbobit or rapidgator (one-click hosters.)
What setup am I looking for, if I were to automate this? I’m aware of the Megathread but I didn’t find the correct software to index those sites and then what kind of download manager people use nowadays. (Ah yes, and I don’t want to pay for premium accounts.)
Edit: Replaced “one-click hosters” with “file hosters”
Ditch OCH and switch to Usenet. I still regret not switching earlier. File hosters are outdated (from the usability perspective), restricted (in terms of usage), and overpriced.
There is no automation for file hosters. Solving filecrypt captchas and pushing to jdownloader is not possible to automate.
I’ve never really understood Usenet. As i understand it, usenetb is essentially centralized. Even though the experience might be better, i feel it is less safe? Also when taken into account there is payment and therefore zero anonymity…
Usenet is not illegal by itself (but well, same goes for torrenting)
As long as law enforcement doesn’t get its hands on the server it can’t tell what you download, as long as you use TLS (no VPN required, but doesn’t hurt either)
But even if: Usenet providers (hopefully) don’t keep logs of what you downloaded, so for all we know you just paid the provider to download actual news/Linux ISOs?
But even if they do: You are not uploading anything -> you are probably less interesting to law enforcement and they might just ignore you (especially if you use some payment method that might require going through some extra steps to link it to you as a person)

PS: It’s called file hoster not OCH.

I guess the idea is (make of that what you want):
Used mega for content for ages… jumped to usenet and the arr applications…
Man I’m a dumb ass for not moving over sooner.
Toss in nzb360 app and I hardly ever have to touch a file.
