  Readarr + calibre makes it very convenient and easy (the rest of the arr suite is great for other forms of media too)

    Too bad there’s no easy way for a tech illiterate dumb person such as myself to read a step-by-fucking-step instruction to get it all working for myself in an easy way.

      You basically need 3 things: readarr, a torrent client, and a VPN.

      There are plenty of step by step guides and videos for most things, especially popular tools like this. The servarr wiki has install and setup instructions for all of the core arr suite apps as well, both install guides and quick start guides: wiki.servarr.com/readarr

      Qbittorrent (torrent client) is also easy to install on windows or Linux: www.qbittorrent.org . You’re also welcome to pick another one, I just like qbittorrent.

      Vpn installs vary from vpn to vpn, but pretty much all of them should also contain step by step install instructions

        And of which you provided zero directions on where to look.

        I read through the site and it gets to a part where it assumes I know how to setup a port reverse proxy on a server. Definitely not friendly for tech illiterate people such as myself. So this is a dogshit instruction.

        Qbittorrent (torrent client) is also easy to install on windows or Linux: www.qbittorrent.org . You’re also welcome to pick another one, I just like qbittorrent.

        Cool. Now where the hell do I find the books? Your instructions also suck for tech illiterate people.

        Apologies for sounding rude, but you guys all preach this shit but there’s nowhere to read where they teach dumb morons like me to do this without already knowing high level networking protocols and manual VPN configuration management. And it’s really frustrating.

    Well, it would be if Readarr worked consistently.

      The only issues I ever had were around authors having a bunch of books that weren’t released or were in different languages, that was solved by narrowing the profiles for what readarr finds which was a 2 minute task

        Years of ongoing issues with their metadata server bricking its ability to search for content.
