stop manually browsing torrent sites! You're wasting your time.
Download qBittorrent. Download Jackett. Configure Jackett to work inside qBittorrent. You now have a way to search hundreds of trackers all at once within seconds and find literally anything you want.
I've tried just about every type of automated system Sonarr, Radarr fully integrated with usenet and my libraries etc.
After a while I realised I quite enjoy doing things manually. I get to vet the content a little before I grab it, a bit like going to the video store.
Jackett isn't automated, it's just a search tool. You can open any search result in-browser if you wish to double check it. I do it all the time
As long as you have your quality profiles set up correctly they very rarely grab a bad release, I've maybe had to throw out 3 movies and one season of anime it grabbed during the past year I've been using a full *arr setup combined with jellyfin and jellyseerr.
If you set the series to "Anime" it should use both episode number and absolute numbering when searching for anime. It's certainly not perfect but it gets the job done most of the time.
Have you set it up like trash-guides does? Works well for almost any anime I watch. The only issues I have is not finding something because of localized/JP name release that are with embedded subs.
Anime is my biggest use case, and it's worked great for me.
This is why I don't use any of the *arrs. 90 percent of what I pirate is anime or music which they don't work well with at all.
And generally it grabbing a bad release is due to it being uploaded on a tracker with little moderation. I tend to blacklist a site once this happens more than once or twice.
What particular component is doing your organizing for you? I do struggle with this at times. THAT is a massive amount of manual labour when I let it get out of control.
I only auto-dl with sonarr for anime and groups I know like SubsPlease, EraiRaws etc.
Movies are capped to FHD-BD and remuxes are only downloaded manually.
Also because I use a seedbox my storage quota is usually 99% in use and filling it 100% up causes me issues so I am usually paranoid about 1. the quality and 2. what size is being downloaded
