My setup:
Jellyfin for the frontend. Has apps for android, iOS, windows, android TV, bunch of other platforms as well..
Deluge as torrent downloader. It's old, but it just works without the (in my opinion) complicated configurations of qbittorrent.
Prowlarr to search a bunch of sites simultaneously for torrents.
Radarr to add movies, search them with Prowlarr and add the best torrent to deluge, eventually moving the downloaded content to Jellyfin to view.
Sonarr to do the same as Radarr but for TV shows instead.
Nice list but sub out torrenting for usenet. There's a fee associated with usenet but worth it imo as you get higher quality releases, more likely to find niche stuff and don't have the issue of no seeders.
Kind of amazed Usenet is still a thing, I assume all the info is somewhere in the megathread how you find your nzbs and whatnot these days?
My favorite period of piracy was back when I did private trackers, and it seems like they're still around but back then I didn't have to use a vpn, can you get credit for your seeding through a vpn? I recall them requiring I actually forward a port back in the day. Not getting into any of that mess lol
I would start here: https://www.reddit.com/r/usenet/wiki/index/. I'm using NZBGeek as my main indexer. Cost me $12 USD for a year of access. There's lifetime for $80 or something but I've only just gotten into usenet over torrenting so testing it out. DrunkenSlug is also another highly recommended indexer, currently open for registrations. I'm using their free tier as NZBGeek has been sufficient so far. For my usenet provider I'm using frugal, $40 USD for a year of access. I've got this all setup with an old pc running Debian using docker compose with radarr, sonarr, jellyfin, sabnzbd and jellyseerr.
Can't speak to private trackers as I've never used them.
I would add jellyseer as a nice option to request movies rather then doing it directly through so are/radarr
If you have all these setup I'd recommend getting NZB360 on Android. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kevinforeman.nzb360
Not heard of prowlarr before! Any comments on using it over Jackett?
