I suppose it depends on your media habits. If you want a large media library then it's absolutely worth it. I started by manually downloading and configuring media, but after a certain point it just became easier to let the computer handle it instead. the *arr stack can automatically search dozens of torrent sites for what you want and automatically download the release with your exact specifications. Do you want everything in the highest resolution and bit depth? Do you want HDR and Dolby Surround releases? Do you want everything to be in HEVC to save on space? Do you want special editions of releases instead of theatrical releases? Do you want to download directors commentary for movies and tv shows? You can configure all of this for Radarr and Sonarr. I have hearing loss in both ears so I also use bazarr for downloading subtitles automatically. For Readarr, I found just being able to follow a writer and automatically download their entire back catalog to be a huge time save. I don't use Lidarr very much for music as Apple Music is good enough for my needs. I also had real difficulty getting mylar3 to work properly so I can't comment too much on that. I've also heard that usenet is better than torrents when it comes to looking for releases but I haven't put in the time and effort into learning how it works yet. Also, as a small note, I would recommend taking a moment to configure a torrent client with a built in vpn like binhex-delugevpn unless you want a letter from your ISP, as happened with me a few times :( I used this[1] video to learn how to configure everything and videos by SpaceInvaderOne[2] for everything else Unraid related. I would also really recommend following these "trash" guides[3] if you want to optimize quality and storage settings. If you need help, I would recommend reaching out to the community via the Unraid Forums or their Discord. I've had a really good success rate there.
