If you’re willing to spend a bit of money to pirate, just go with usenet. I was a private tracker guy for years, but I got sick of keeping up ratio when I mainly wanted shit that wasn’t super in demand. Have been so much happier since I made the move, and my downloads finish much faster than they ever did before.
However, while LLM usage is not in vogue around here, this is one situation where I think an LLM would be very handy.
You can use something like ChatGPT to read that post and then come up with a sensible step by step procedure where you can install and configure each program once at a time.
Let’s say you have a few movies and shows already downloaded.
You can get your feet wet by installing Plex Media Server, or another solution (Emby and Jellyfin are the top contenders). Then when you want to automate downloading if torrents, you get into the next step, and so on so forth.
Rarely does someone build an end game device at the beginning. Usually it’s a learn as you go and upgrade as the need arises.
The most important thing in the very idea behind any of this? Get started. One step at a time. Make mistakes and learn from them.

Got a link to a “pirate on Usenet for dummies”?
Request for media <> Servarr Stack + Usenet Indexer <> Download Client + Usenet Provider <> Media Server
Dummy here, thanks, but what does this mean? Do you know any Ressources on how to get started with this?

Prowlarr and nzbget are the two containers I run that handle actually downloading things, and sonarr/radarr for automatic media management.
For usenet, you need to get a provider and an indexer, and those can be gotten for just a couple bucks a month. Honestly, well worth the expense.
Right on brother, I’m already on Usenet, mainly looking for a private tracker as a next to last resort.
