I have a plex server, I keep hearing about these programs. I don’t really understand what they do or how to use/set them up

The answer is probably yes, if you download movies or shows somewhat regularly.
Together with Overseer they can reduce the process of finding, downloading and organizing releases to just one click in a Netflix-like interface.They can also keep looking for better versions of your existing stuff and upgrade it automatically in the background. And there is Bazarr to automatically fetch missing subtitles.
I had also heard of them but waited a long time to finally check them out, and I wish I’d done the switch much sooner! It takes a bit to configure everything to your liking, but it saves soooo much time now and does things I would never have bothered to do by hand, like upgrading pretty much my entire library.
Adding this because I didn’t see anyone else post it, but I found this guide really useful for setting them up: https://trash-guides.info/Hardlinks/Hardlinks-and-Instant-Moves/
It’s linked to on the official wiki, and walks through the process of Hardlinks and Atomic Moves. They’re basically shortcuts, they allow the file to exist in two places at once. This means you can still have a torrent seeding, while the media also exists in your plex collection. It also “moves” the file instantly once it’s finished downloading, without having to wait for it to copy anywhere.
Trash guides keep scurvy from taking hold. An absolute must for any ship worth its salt
Depends on whether you’re concerned about your enemies approaching from the sea or the sky
Why
Well different technologies have different uses, you can’t spot sound with sight or objects moving underwater with sound
I thought you were making a Dr stone reference… I’ll see myself out

Yeah, I hated it too. If I had a server automatically downloading torrents at all times on my network, I could kiss goodbye to online gaming and voice calls with my swarm, and even browsing and work would slow to a crawl. I guess I’d spend a lot more time reading physical books while waiting for the internet to work.
You should look into hard linking: https://trash-guides.info/Hardlinks/Hardlinks-and-Instant-Moves/. Remaining and no double storage
As for trakt isn’t that what you want? If you haven’t watched it and it’s on your watch list why filter things out?

If I have 100 gigabytes free on my media drive, and I have Columbo and Friends on my to watch list, and I also want to keep up with Invincible as new episodes come out, then auto downloading would fuck me. It would fill that 100 gigabytes with 10 seasons of sitcoms and 10 seasons of detective shows, and then next week when the new Invincible episode comes out, there’s no room for it. But I definitely would rather watch the new Invincible on a timely basis than another season of Ross getting into arguments with Rachel. I can watch Chandler make bad jokes any time, and it’ll take me ages to get to season 10 if I’m on season 2
I have jellyfin set up just for myself and those solutions just didn’t seem necessary to me. I simply pull and seed manually from my desktop and transfer the files to the server over the network. Easy enough 🤷
It’s not easier than configuring each one once and then letting them do all the work from there on out. Not trying to convince you to use them but they’re pretty damn great especially when you’re trying to watch multiple TV shows or see a movie that came out a lot sooner than you thought it would.
I guess that can be easier for some. Personally I kind of like looking for file sources myself, I’m somewhat particular about the quality I’m looking for. It’s probably also easier to manually handle edge cases, for example recently I found a TV show that came with all the extras such as the soundtrack along with the show itself, and I wanted those to end up in separate places.
If you want to use Radarr or Sonarr you better be ok with TVDB metadata because that’s all they support and will likely ever support based on the discussions I’ve seen over the past few years.
Yes.
They have a wiki which explains a lot: https://wiki.servarr.com/ as well as other arr software.
Edit: sonarr monitors your tv shows to make sure it has all episodes and grabs new ones. Radarr monitors your movie collection. It also connects directly to your torrent provider / seedbox. Can setup quality profiles and the like to customize which files get grabbed and what not. They also do bulk renaming of files to make sure plex sees them properly. Plus more.
What about my porn collection? I mean my friend’s porn collection? I mean, I don’t like porn, and I don’t know anyone who does, how dare you!
Whisparr is your friend’s friend 👉👉
Yeah. I mean how else are you supposed to know if you’re about to watch Backdoor Whores 9, or the Slutty Professor? Labels, people. Labels!
What if I don’t have a seed box?
Seedbox is optional. It can connect to different torrent software to load the torrents in. It also can just do “black hole” which dumps all the torrents into a folder that you can setup your torrent program to watch.
You might do, but you might also want to just use Stremio with a Real Debrid account and save yourself ballache in the process.
