Hmmm, sorry to hear that. What kinds of lists are you trying to make? Are you making sure to “enable” the filter when creating it in Radarr?

Firstly, the core *arr suite is not a streaming service, whatsoever. It’s a media file manager meant to help with running a private server streaming app, like Plex or Jellyfin. With that out of the way:

I imagine sitting on coach, searching for show. Then you want to watch some, and then you have to wait half an hour for full episode (or even season?)

Download speeds depend on your own setup. IMO, a Usenet connection is the only way to use *arr. Downloads happen at the maximum speed and don’t rely on some other person’s seed rate. You, conversely, don’t need to worry about seeding.

When you manually add a show to Sonarr, you can select it to only pick up the pilot episode of the show, which could cut down on DL times by focusing bandwidth. You can also select a lower definition. With Usenet and something like a 720p quality, there’s no reason why this should take more than 5 minutes to be in your library.

I’ll also paste my comment I left below about connecting to lists:

You can connect your *arr profiles to monitor external lists of new titles by pointing the list manager to something like MDBList. They might not be as instantaneous as you might like, with a 24hr refresh period, but it’s pretty much a 0.99:1 Netflix replacement for me

I’ll also add that I’m not some CompSci nerd, either, so don’t be scared to give it a shot. My server runs off Plex on my Windows 10 desktop because I don’t know how to do any better but I’ve never had an issue watching what I want to watch

Yt-dlp is the way. J-Downloader is okay too if you need a good interface but dlp is just too damn powerful to not use

Can this guy just “retire” already?

Removed by mod

I can remember many years ago when I was much younger than I am now, and when I was still following gaming news, being a gamer at that point of my life, as most boys of that age at that time were, hearing one of the funniest jokes I had and still yet have ever heard and one which I repeat anytime I get the opportunity, which was that “Nothing says ‘final’ like ‘Final Fantasy 13: Part 2’.” I believe it was the presenter Jovenshire from Smosh Games but have never been able to find again the source

… how have you made it this far? I wish I had your life

See: usenet. No seeds, just constant maximum DL speeds

Saved but also “half hour downloads” are a thing of the past with gigabit fiber and usenetting

Indeed. And even delayed fulfillment of the original promises is impressive given how vast the scope of the original pitch was. I’m just happy to have it, even if it took a couple years longer than expected to get.

Take a look at Star Citizen if you want to know the alternative, OP

I love seeing people say “downtown Tokyo.” Like, which town? Tokyo is about 10 full cities and a few hundred towns crammed side by side lol

I thought that was Sam Neil from the thumbnail

Fuck Neil Druckman, Naughty Dog, and Sony, in that order. Amy Hennig carried the whole PlayStation brand identity and got couped over some good ol industry sexism so that N.D. could opine about how hard it is to be a white man

Oh okay my bad I got confused

It’s simple: Boomers grew up in a world where money was handed out for free just for being white. The ideas of hard work, financial responsibility, or the value of a dollar were lost on the whole generation. They don’t think twice about sending $25,000 to some random person because that’s how they got that money in the first place (50 years ago, which they used to buy their first house (now their fourth rental property)).

Hope this helps

Its gonna happen bro

Half Life 3

No, no, I think I can take a vibrating strap-on device. Seriously.

I understand what you’re saying (I think) but you know that… you can kill everyone, right? The worst the game does is throw a few more enemies at you (to kill) and some moral characters say mean things to you. Pretty standard RPG mechanics, IMO. It’s just a choice and like I said, the narrative framing sets you up to be a highly-trained stealthy assassin, not some mass-murdering juggernaut. But you can do that if you want

Similarly I could not use the tools the game gives me

Offers* you. There’s even an achievement for completing the game with just a sword and pistol, no upgrades or powers ;) Choices!!
