Title, I haven’t Yo ho ho’d in forever in internet time… What/where do I need to start again? I’m tired of ads and 3+ streaming services to watch stuff that’s interesting. Running windows. Thanks dudes and dudettes.
Well, I would say bittorrent with a good vpn or, usenet with a good indexer and depending on how much you download, block account vs monthly.
Personally I top up all my block accounts whenever I see a sale. With priority set from cheapest per gig to most expensive (so the pricey ones are only used as fillers).
But that does involve paying some money, but then doesn’t really require a vpn. In the long term I don’t think I’m paying that much though.
IMO music makes more sense to download than movies. You might only watch a movie once or twice. Music files are smaller and you’re much more likely to listen to them multiple times.
For movies and TV shows, streaming using Real Debrid is way more convenient.
What? Those are used for downloading. Can you even stream using those? (Well you obviously can with Jellyfin but you stream downloaded content so that doesn’t count)
Jellyseer doesn’t have a Windows installer as far as I know.
Bazarr seemed useful but most stuff comes with subtitles anyway, and every time Bazarr grabs them for me, they’re inevitably out of sync because they’re for a slightly different version. I normally have to go to opensubtitles and grab a few until I find the right one. It’s probably more useful if you require subs in a language other than English.
Docker can be the install method for windows, and the whole suite of these apps. Probably the neatest way to go? Typically one installs this suite on a NAS that’s running 24/7.

You missed Lidarr.
That one i never found much useful.
Just not interested in listening to whole albums, it’s so 2010

Jellyseer, prowlarr, and bazarr can be added to that list.

I use bazarr primarily because the included subs are often vobsub which works very poorly on my TV.
Also you can adjust the requirements Bazarr uses for downloading subs and automatically sync the subs if need be.

I tried docker for Windows and it was pure pain. Not sure I’d recommend it for a beginner when the windows installers exist for most of it.
Yeah sure, the *arr suite in general is a bit advanced to set up, even if it can be done in 30 minutes with experience.
…windows installer…?
VPN, depending on how your country handles copyright laws.
