Disclaimer: I'm one of the founders of sonarr,
Sickbeard is an abandoned project, last commit was ~ year ago. there are multiple fork of Sickbeard, (Sickrage is big one but has had some internal drama), obviously I would recommend Sonarr :p
- tylerdavis 11y agoLove me some Sonarr. Great work.
- kayone 11y agoThanks :D, glad you find it useful.
- Pengwin 11y agoI dropped Sickbeard/SickRage for Sonarr a few months ago. I'm very happy with the change. Especially with the better support for torrents and easier to use UI. Thanks for all your hard work on the project!
- kayone 11y agoThanks, that's generally the feedback we get, when people switch they are generally very happy, but I guess that might just be the feedback loop.
- fcmk 11y agoIs there a way to make Sonarr work with a single download folder? Sickbeard also did not officially support it, but you were able to make it work with enough configuration and scripts. That's the only reason I still use it. I just have two big folders (watched and unwatched) and a hotkey to move stuff between them. It's simple and I don't need to use a mouse. I wouldn't want to give this up.
- kayone 11y agoCopying another reply: Sonarr supports as many root folders as you want, the only restrictions is that a single show is limited to a single folder, so tvs1/show1 and tvs2/show2 is completely valid, but watched/show1 and unwatched/show1 is not.
- khorne 11y agoI'm not entirely sure if it was Sonarr, but one of the crawlers didnt support multiple media folders. Which is really annoying.
- kayone 11y agoSonarr supports as many _root folders_ as you want, the only restrictions is that a single show is limited to a single folder, so `tvs1/show1` `tvs2/show2` is completely valid, but `tvs1/show1` `tvs2/show1` is not.
- fromtheoutside 11y agoI was really surprised how fast Sonarr renders HTML pages, compared to Sickbeard it felt like it was 10x faster.
- kayone 11y agoSonarr is a SPA, also our backend is C# vs python, which generally leads to better performance (contrary to what a lot of criticism we get, "why did you go with C# it's so slow" ok...). The other part is that I did performance work for few years as my main job so I would say that adds a bit as well. right now we are working on refreshed UI which will be even more snappy.
