Second this.. so worth it.

Any suggestions for a VPN?

Mullvad

Very good VPN but probably not the best for this usage: https://mullvad.net/en/blog/removing-the-support-for-forward...

If you want one just for torrenting alone, cloudflare warp should suffice. They don't block BitTorrent traffic.

I've been happy with my Windscribe lifetime sub

The idea behind the Servarr stack is great, but not every app is as useful as Radar. I removed Sonarr because I prefer to watch TV shows when full season packs are available (I know you can download season packs, but it's a manual feature anyway). Lidarr rarely finds releases from public trackers. Readarr is the same. I ended up with Radarr + Prowlarr + Torrent.

Fair; I may have been overstating things given I only use Radarr, Sonarr and Prowlarr.

I like the Sonarr UI but yeah it could have more control over which things to get and when. I have a hard time getting it to pick the one I would pick. Profiles and quality are good ideas but a bit hard to wrangle. Most of the time I'd be fine with a substring filter and then whatever has the most sources.
