/c/piracy would probably be a better resource for you. The few comments from that side I’ve seen mostly indicate torrenting through VPN and using an arr stack.

I mostly go garage sale hunting combined with refusing to buy anything with DRM. My library probably is not as extensive as what you would have if you are a movie or TV aficionado. I use it for movies, tv shows, and music. It’s been great so far. Paired with Finamp as a player on my phone and Supersonic on the desktop I can get around the otherwise somewhat awkward music library management. I love the show and movie default interface.

Note, I believe Jellyfin is also starting to do books. I have not tried it in that application yet.
