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.
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.
