I had a small media library for myself, and wanted to automate it a bit more, so implemented arr stack (prowlarr, radarr, lidarr), it seems to work but I’m not sure how to pick indexers. I have no experience with it, and I initially just picked a public one, but it barely ever seems to download something.
I’m a bit confused about it, should i just pick as many as I can? Or join a private one? But no idea where to start there.
Any advice or push in the right direction would be appreciated.


youll have the best luck by adding a nzb indexer… ive enjoyed nzbgeek
its cheap and has decreased my time-to-mediacenter drastically… the public torrent indexers kinda pale in comparison.
i like to have them all in there, but the usenet/nzb stuff seems to flow the fastest as theres generally more likely a matching file of %quality.
The downside is that you also have to pay for a Usenet host. So someone trying to just go the $0 cost route, this wouldn’t apply to.
sure but usenet access is stupidly cheap. i think im payin like 1$/month.
i spend more on stickers.
What usenet provider are you getting such a good deal on?
