I've been a good boy for 5 years or so but the seas call to me. Are streaming sites the way to go now or is torrenting still a better bet for mainstream movies and tv? I'd imagine all of my accounts have been deleted on those sites so I'd be starting over.

    Commenting to bring awareness to the ‘arrs. Radarr sonarr and lidarr will get you all the media you need organized perfectly. It runs on any device but take a few days to figure out. Once setup it’s a set it and forget it thing. Uses torrents and or usent so use a vpn. Mine runs on a 10 year old raspberry pi 2 and a few usb hdds. Been going strong with very little maintenance for 6 years at this point.

    Torrents and usenet will get you high quality videos if that's what you want. Streaming sites are usually only have low bitrate videos.

    Depends on your hardware.

    Streaming is more accessible, but you’re stuck at 720p usually.

    If you can afford a vpn and the storage then torrenting gets you better quality.

    Don’t forget to seed

    I used to use a kodi box. Every month or so I'd have to find a new source. I might have to dig it out and give it another try.

    Does anyone have a one click piracy stack setup with all the *arrs that takes mullvad yet? Someone should make that happen.

    Maybe a nix config? Docker?

      Mines all in a docker conpose:
      *arrs
      sabnzbd and/or a seedbox + resilio/syncthing/ftp(s)
      Jellyfin
      a reverse proxy of your choice (mines traefik)

      for DNS I utilize pihole and it's CNAME feature.
