Never understood the purpose of any of the arr stack. Finding the torrent is fun for me. I only need like three trackers.
You don’t understand the purpose of automation?
I don’t want to fuck around on a few sites just to watch something ‘right now’. My setup let’s me request any media I want and it’ll get pulled, scraped, and made available to me, my friends, and family near instantly.
Not to mention if you want to watch something (only available) ‘in the future’ it’ll automatically get pulled when available.
Downloading a torrent manually does the same thing. Right now is still waiting for the download
I never understood how to install any of it. In the time it’d take me to understand any of it, I’d have found 200 torrents. 😂
It kind of reminds me of my attempts at automating a simple, repetitive task on the desktop, and in the middle of it I’m like “fuck this!” and just end up doing it manually, and faster.
Super easy with Docker, and also quite portable. Usually is a copy paste and minor changes that irk me, but now I don’t have to explain my family what are torrents, how are torrents, what is a tracker, give them my credentials, and teach them to SSH to the server in order to copy a file let alone show them how to properly name it in order for Jellyfin to correctly recognize it.
All I have to do is log them in the app once, and tell them "If you want a movie, find it here, and it will probably be available in Jellyfin in and hour or two.
Right! I did the work to do it but found it a waste of time. It takes ten seconds to find what I want why do I need fifty eleven servers to do that for me

Even though you enjoy searching for the torrents, you can’t understand why people would like it completely automated?

When it takes zero time to find a torrent, no I cannot understand needing a service to save ten seconds

There’s a lot of things you don’t seem to understand, which are pretty fucking obvious to the rest of the world.

I have 37TB of media and another 10 in the download queue waiting for storage to be freed up. Which probably would equate to tens of thousands of torrents (or nzbs in my case). So it was absolutely worth my time
