    All of the *arr apps are for automatic media downloading and organization.

    You want all the new seasons of a show? Just mark that as a ‘monitored’ show in sonarr. When new episodes are released, sonarr uses your torrent indexer to get the torrent or magnet link and sends that to your torrent downloader. Once the download completes, it renames the file with metadata and puts it into the spot where jellyfin/plex is expecting the file to be.

    It’s an automation stack for media piracy.

    SpaceInvaderOne has a bunch of tutorials on how to set things up if you want to dive into the full self-hosting ocean.

      Very cool, thanks for the explanation!

      Maybe this is just me but using a torrent through a CLI is something I have not explored at all, I just transfer files back and forth. Seems very useful
