I've just finished my setup with Radarr, Sonarr, Jellyfin, qBittorrent and nzb360. I've paid 120€ for proton vpn for 2 years, 200€ for m2 ssd for 4tb and a few bucks for domain to access my setup from anywhere. Also, I have a 1gb internet connection for 65€ pm...

So, I'm willing to pay... I don't want to spend all this time configuring scripts and integrations(though it was fun 😁)... But paying for Netflix, Prime, HBO, Disney+ and not being able to watch everything I want, simply makes me angry and miserable.

Duck them all. Arrrrr

I have outsourced much of the setup you describe to a country with lower law enforcement pressure with regards to torrenting. Costs me 15€.

Worth it for me.

Saw some service offering like 100k movies for $15 a month.

Only thing stopping me is the thought of giving my credit card details to a criminal...

Create a virtual card most banks will let you do it.

Those places usually let you pay in crypto also

do you have a name for the provider?

It's a seed box I should have written that. If you google seedboxes it should be the first hit or so.

You still have to torrent but it's not on your pc.

Is it done SaaS or do you have your private setup? Also what about the speed? I stream 20gb files over wi-fi and can experience issues with stream lag time to time

I'd say stop using wifi, get a better decoder or get better wifi. Ugh, I really dislike wifi.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Well... it is a quote powerful wifi6 device and I get problems only with files 30gb+. My question was mostly about the internet connection affect in this case

It also requires you to skip from page to page. You need a page to search to tell you what page to to go search for what you want to watch
