There is no reason for you not to get into Newsgroups and just do it that way, torrents are for unserious people. You are eventually going to set up an automated TV and Movie download setup through Sonarr and Radarr to feed into Plex, and there is no better way to do that than with Newsgroups.

Yeah, the last I ever interacted with Plex was my old boss like 8 years ago, he said it was just linked to torrents or something.
So if anyone feels like PMing me a guide or link to guide to start with this, much appreciated
Thanks

I just updated the Usenet thread briefly. It has a torrent setup, but I don't suggest it.Yeah, the last I ever interacted with Plex was my old boss like 8 years ago, he said it was just linked to torrents or something.

Figured I would split this out from the torrent thread. To start us off, wtf is going on with the TV scene releases recently. Had 3 not complete on me in the last 3 days which is unheard of. The latest Doctor Who, Castle and Gotham.

Not to sound like a total moron. But the whole.sonarr radar newsgroup thing is a bit arcane to me but want to move that way

Streaming seems to be somewhat good for 1080, if that's all someone is looking for. I don't normally use Brave browser for anything else, so I set it up with an open-source add-on called movie-web and then watch pretty much everything in 1080 from a website called Lonelil ru (dot removed to break direct link).
You can set up any chrome based browser for it though, I just used Brave since I could use it exclusively for that add-on and it already had ad/script blocking built in.

Torrenting has various sites listed down the page a little. Run NoScript add-on with your browser or just use Brave browser and it should be safe enough to check out any of the sites. There are/can be notes next to each site listed.
There is also various other categories (Educational) on the left that have books in particular, although I have not looked at any of those sites personally.

Did you check the list of sites I posted above (Music / Podcasts / Radio)?
Last time I expanded my FLAC collection I sign up for a month of Deezer premium and then used a program to DL FLACs from them. Supposedly Spotify's free codec is lossless now too, but I haven't spent much time with it.

Are you not a member of Redacted? That was one of the ones that popped up after What.CD folded, and is the only one that really survived (that I'm aware of). I download all my flacs from there.
I'm not sure what the invite situation is there, but if you aren't a member I'll look into it. You might be a dogfucker, but I know you're autistic enough to keep a good ratio.

TBH I've relied on Spotify since I got it free with my cell phone contract. I recently upgraded my AVR and was underwhelmed/disappointed with the stereo performance so I've been trying to feed it higher quality files, hence subscribing to Tidal/Roon.
It's funny you say that re ratio as earlier this week I moved my Plex server to my laptop and leave a torrent client running so that I can access it via web gui on my desktop

No, I'm not. That ratio is mostly from when I had a seedbox but I cancelled that 6 years ago
