I have a plex server, I keep hearing about these programs. I don’t really understand what they do or how to use/set them up

      I’m just gonna do it manually from now on, to be honest.

      And no, that’s not what I want. I have 30+ shows on my watchlist - not only do I not want to watch them all right away, but I have limited disk space and an average download speed of 4MB/s so it just doesn’t make sense to download 30TB of stuff all at once.

      If I have 100 gigabytes free on my media drive, and I have Columbo and Friends on my to watch list, and I also want to keep up with Invincible as new episodes come out, then auto downloading would fuck me. It would fill that 100 gigabytes with 10 seasons of sitcoms and 10 seasons of detective shows, and then next week when the new Invincible episode comes out, there’s no room for it. But I definitely would rather watch the new Invincible on a timely basis than another season of Ross getting into arguments with Rachel. I can watch Chandler make bad jokes any time, and it’ll take me ages to get to season 10 if I’m on season 2
