Right click the SickRage.py file and select "Open With" and choose pythonw.exe (not python.exe). In W8 you can still get to the startup folder easily by opening windows explorer and typing shell:startup into the address bar and press enter. Run the application, but you can make a shortcut to sickrage.py on your desktop then cut/paste that into your startup folder. It's updated a lot, and honestly the best thing out there for this currentlyĭark_slayer do I have to run the application or can just run a service for it? Slicked up the interface and added a crap-ton more search providers, then started calling it sickrage instead of sickbeard-tvrage. Along came echel0n, who not only picked up mr-orange's fork but added support for tvrage as well as the existing tvdb support. Then there was mr-orange's fork which was okay for a while, but when something like that stops seeing updates all the search providers need manual modifications to work again. I avoided it for a long time because midetspy was so adamantly against supporting it with anything other than "black hole" support in sickbeard. It may end up grabbing something eventually, but like I said if you just *try* switching to sickrage and utorrent you will see. Adding little blocks here and there from places that "delay" processing of takedowns like tweaknews and lots of different indexers. Lol, I guess it's not already clear enough that I've been there done that. Torrents still have their place though, older content on torrents is usually best, but for those daily/new TV shows Usenet for sure. You can't beat downloading a TV show within 3-4 minutes and not needing to upload it back for X amount of days. If you don't mind spending the 10 bucks a month plus the 20 bucks or so a year, then it's definitely the way to go. The only ones I have to wait are shows for the wife, they almost never go up that night and it's about a 50/50 shot to download through torrents and not usenets.īut there's nothing wrong with Usenets. Sonarr is picking up the shows, downloading them (At full ISP Speed) renaming them, moving them to the right folder, and Media Browser shows them within an hour of them airing (90% of the time) if not though, they're always there the next day. 3 also never downloaded at all (Crappy wife show). I have 155 series currently that I'm tracking and downloading through Sonarr throughout the year, Most nights I'm downloading 6+ shows Last month I downloaded 194 TV Shows, out of those shows 11 downloaded through Torrent sites, the rest through usenets. What more could you ask for? I don't need to manage it, it just goes. If it can't find it on Usenet it moves over to torrents. If a file fails to download it tries to grab the next file. The install was simple, the UI is very nice and easy to use, and it never crashes unlike Sickrage/SickBeard. I started out with Sickbeard about two years ago, I moved over to Sickrage because of the torrent support, but neither one of them were super stable for me (I did use the dev branches though) and ended up switching to Sonarr last year, and OMG what a difference. I've also noticed it used less resources on my computer then sickrage or sickbeard did. Not only does it look nicer (Not the biggest deal I guess), but it's so much easier to install, configure, and use in general. Sonarr over Sickbeard/Sickrage any day of the week.
