Usenet has become a cesspool of removed content and malware infected fakes for the most part (some password protected private posters exist, I am aware). It has become too famous for its own good. Private torrent trackers is where it's for me.

Use Sonarr and CouchPotato, it does all the work for you, if something fails it just gets another copy. You don't touch anything, just wait a few minutes and it works its magic. For TV at least, it's the perfect set up.

If you're having takedown issues though you need a better provider.

To be honest, I am good with the torrent trackers I have now. I have found the ones that take care of my niche interests (remux, usually).
