    This actually solved a problem I had only recently started looking into

    I’m planning on getting rid of streaming and taking the money I save and upgrading to the next tier of my fiber and just running a plex or Jelly fin server.

    So this solves the problem of getting torrents rolling when I’m away from home (I spend two weeks away for work, but I can’t host or torrent on work wifi)

      I highly recommend looking into Radarr for managing movies, Sonarr for tv shows, plus Prowlarr for managing indexers.

      They both handle searching all your indexers, selecting the best torrent/nzb from them and passing it to your torrent/usenet client, removing the finished items from the download client, and finally renaming+sorting the downloads into your media folders for emby/plex/jellyfin to read.

      I now open either of their web interfaces (or the app nzb360 on android to manage both) search for a movie/show title, and click add. The server does the rest of the heavy lifting.

      These will also monitor the rss feeds of your indexers to automatically grab/upgrade missing or low quality content or newly released episodes+movies.
