This, plus self hosting jellyfin and *arr and I basically have a better service, with no ads, nice UI, access from all my devices, offline access, 4K resolution, music streaming. Basically the all-inclusive premium plan, not exactly for free, but for a very reasonable cost.

I have spent hours trying to get some kind of server set up, without ever really being able to connect. Eventually in my furious troubleshooting Googlepalooza I eventually found a guide that had my problem addressed in it and it boiled down to "you should find a different way to do this." I've long since given up

Just out of curiosity, what was the issue that made you throw in the towel? Was it a really specific setup you're trying to build for a specific use case or something? I don't have a lot of knowledge, but I can't think of anything that would come up during a simple home server setup that would require you to completely change your approach unless you were doing some advanced custom stuff as a first go

I dump Blu-rays to my NAS with zero re-encoding. Even for older shows the quality is leaps and bounds superior to any streaming service with plenty of bandwidth.

Ooooo I only have Torrent, is Torrent+ better? I rarely use it anyway

Your missing out big time, Torrent+ comes with a few extra files to play with your computer.

Torrent+ is not free, you need to download the cracked version on Limewire, and remember to turn off your AV before installing it also don't forget to enter your real name and address to bypass the registration box 😉

Use Tribler to avoid (or heavily limit) DMA notices

I use Stremio that plays and streams torrents using sequential downloading. It's like Popcorn time.
