Which *arr for file hosters? (discuss.tchncs.de)

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"

Thank you. I have to think about that. But I'm kind of opposed to pay. I'm not sure if I'm alone with that, but it feels wrong to me, to pay someone to handle stolen goods for me. That's not my idea of piracy. I'd rather wait 3 days for those super slow downloads to finish. But you're probably right and someday I should visit the Usenet and see what it's all about.

Then I can only recommend jdownloader to collect the links and download the files and filebot for organizing and consistent naming. The sharehosters cannot really be automated, because they have captchas everywhere and there exists no standardized index (like for torrents or Usenet). Instead, everything is forum based (like Serienfans or movie fans). And for just organizing manually downloaded files, I found the *arrs not really feasible.

Alright. Thank you very much for the info.

I recommend https://pyload.net/ over jdownloader, but have not used it in years.

Hmm, I've just tried pyload for a few days. I have some UI bugs with captchas being displayed in an area that is too small. And they seem to be in the process of rewriting something so the android app doesn't work. And all the drag and drop, rearranging queues etc is a bit cumbersome or not there. And it starts extracting the archives only after the whole season/package got downloaded. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong. But it works. I like that I can run it directly on the NAS without loading a desktop environment plus a gigabyte worth of Java stuff.

It had its quirks back when i used it so you are probably doing everything right and are just encountering bugs.

Left one click hosters behind a long time ago. Not worth the effort. Sad to not get german dubs but it is how it is.

Usenet, set it and forget it, is the way.

Is there a guide in English. I need to learn about this stuff.
