I'm German and seems 'we' rely more on file hosters than torrenting. There are lots of tv series and movies with both the original audio track and the dubbed one on sites like funxd, serienjunkies, serienfans... They mostly redirect to a filecrypt.cc folder and then I get a DLC file to download the parts from turbobit or rapidgator (one-click hosters.)

What setup am I looking for, if I were to automate this? I'm aware of the Megathread but I didn't find the correct software to index those sites and then what kind of download manager people use nowadays. (Ah yes, and I don't want to pay for premium accounts.)

Edit: Replaced "one-click hosters" with "file hosters"

The *arrs unfortunately don't really work that well with oneclick hosters. I had a setup of jdownloader combined with filebot and a sharehoster premium account once in a while, and then using Plex to access the media. Since then I switched to *arrs in combination with Usenet and am glad I could leave the oneclick hosters behind. Especially when you are frequently paying for them, it's absolutely worth the money (Usenet providers and indexers are mostly paid and I would recommend against free ones). If you are interested, this guide is an excellent entrypoint.

How can I get started on usenet? I’ve been wanting to use it for years but never figured out how..

Are you German? Then this guide would probably be the best way to start. If not, I cannot really recommend a good guide. But you'll essentially need a Usenet provider (like eweka.nl) to access the Usenet and an indexer (like SceneNZBs) to find stuff. These two can be combined with e.g. SABnzbd as a downloader and the *arr software suite to automate the discovery and downloading of media.
