Which downloader do you use?
Probably yt-dlp, it's a pretty popular and relatively simple terminal application.
There are several out there using yt-dlp. Tube archivist, tube sync, etc. They are fairly straightforward to set up in docker if you use that.
Not OP but I use the arr family of services (Sonarr and Radar, though there are more) and NZBGet as my downloader.
Lol NZBGet is not typically used for getting free content.
It’s one of the preconfigured downloaders for sonarr and radarr which is really a fancy front page for adding media from usenet? So, I would disagree.
Well... if your idea of "free" content is something you don't pay for then yes, but if your idea of free content is something that was intended to be distributed for "free" then no.
Is it free if it supported by ads?
People don't use NZBGet for that reason. It is literally a platform & distribution model primarily intended for pirating content in a way that is much quicker and more reliable than torrents. Usenet would probably have died without NZBs.
