    i dunno if anyone knows what usenet is, but basically you can automate the entire download of tv shows and movies down to ridiculous details using those..i been using usenet for 7 years and the level of automation is mind boggling, i literally didnt download anything manual in years

    we can discuss more stuff if people are interested

    it takes a bit of configuration and commitment to reach perfect automation, but after that, your set for life

    @Deadpool look into this if you want to automate anime downloading

    @Caslon

    all in all, it cost about 8$ a month on avg to get everything running

    you can, for example you can set a criteria where only horriblesubs is used for attack on titan

    etc

    you can customize it per series as well

    for example this is one episode from no hero...these are the options sonarr can download from, obviously it is controlled by the criteria you set

    btw usenet is the oldest downloading protocol to exist on the internet, but usernet users always had a rule "do not discuss usenet" which is why it is not very public like torrent

    also it takes some configuration which is why some ppl dont bother, but it is so worth it

    for movies, you can set it where any movie you add to your IMDB watch list gets auto downloaded or go in queue to be downloaded once whatever version fits your criteria is available

    life is great

    Yeah, I've read about it before. Never dabbled with it. Don't follow too many shows at once anymore. I use NZB.is and NZBPlanet occasionally for some movies if I can't find an active torrent on RuTracker.
