Exactly the title. I’m researching having a jellyfin server and downloading media seems like it would be tedious (the way I’ve done it once or twice previously). I could use some clarity on what Sonarr is, what it looks like (like is there a GUI?? I’m too stupid to run something off of a terminal), and how it works. I’m familiar with torrenting but not with usenet, and I use the megathread from this community. Can someone explain Sonarr/Radarr to me in a way that would be understandable to someone at my level of understanding?


The other comment has a pretty good explanation. But its important to know that its really difficult to get it working without access to some private trackers. The normal free ones will start giving you issues with file quality, naming, or not finding anything. This only gets worse if you want anime and even worse again for dubbed.
