I mean you do you but I don’t find it that difficult.

1. download your files, put tv shows in one directory and movies in another
2. install Plex Media Server, create an account and point it to directories you set up in step 1
3. install whatever clients on your smart TV or tablets or whatever, sign in with the same account that you setup in step 2 and you should be good to go

You don’t need to automate downloading files (although it can be really nice when you do!) just grab what you want from a decent private torrent site.

Yea, Netflix and Disney are easier but Plex doesn’t constantly increase their prices.

Plex will do downloads too ya’ know?
