Doesn’t sound to me like they actually understand what they’re talking about. Sonarr and Radarr both use trackers to download files from either torrents or usenet. Emby is a media server that displays the downloaded files (like netflix). You don’t typically have to reencode what you download.
There is a provider with Usenet which serves the same purpose (and costs money so there’s a trade off). Radarr and Sonarr are not finding the content for you. It’s coming from whatever service you are using.
Ok? Why are you bringing Netflix into it? No one suggested that. You can do whatever you want the point of my responses are that Sonarr/Radarr are not as simple as you implied.
Right but you still wait for however long the file needs to download. Normally quite a bit more than 1 minute. That’s what got me confused about this almost streaming like experience that I’m missing out on.
Yeah that part of their comment was also misleading. Basically they’re saying Radarr/Sonarr are better than torrents but really they’re just a fancy front end. If something downloads fast on them it will go just as fast in whatever torrent client you use.
I didn’t say anything about Usenet in the comment you are replying to. The point is Radarr/Sonarr are not Usenet. They are just front ends regardless of which service you are getting content from. Whatever download speed you get on that service is what you get, they have nothing to do with it.
I’ve had plenty of torrents download at high speed, is it less reliable than Usenet? Yes, but It’s also free. I’ll wait a day or two if I have to if it saves me money.
Doesn’t this solution require downloading the file, reencoding and then it’s available to watch? How do you only need one minute to start watching?

reencoding is not required in advance, it happens on the fly if needed.
download still needs to be completed first usually, but you can save a lot of time if you compromise in quality.
