It really is super easy these days. As another poster said using Sonarr (tv) and Radar (movies) then sign up for a nzb indexer like nzbgeek or drunkenslug and your download client like SABnzbd it's as simple as telling the *arr apps what you want to download.

For extra convenience use a *seerr server like Jellyseerr to get recommendations and a better searching experience.

Have fun :)

Setup sonarr and use NZB instead of torrents. And a VPN, of course.

I am sitting in the same boat in drydock with you.

You can find most movies/TV shows on the following torrent trackers:

rutracker.org

mazepa.to

The first audio track is in russian or Ukrainian, but they always have English audio tracks as well (just set eng audio defaults in your player).

The selection is far wider than any streaming service and there is lots of rare stuff (classic movies, grindhouse, art house).

For rarer content you may have to download in advance. For mainstream stuff you can start streaming as soon you start the torrent (select "download first and last" and "download in order in your client).
