Dumped Sickbeard ages ago, been using Sickrage. Wonder how Sonarr compares.
 
Been using Sonarr probably since February maybe even earlier.

An absolute pleasure to use compared To both Sickrage and Sickbeard.

Seriously guys, Sonarr is soooo much better.
Runs better, Looks better, management is better, more options, easier to use. It even talks to SABnzbd so you can see download progress and even failures.

You can't even select an nzb to grab with sickbeard if it fails, what shíte is that? Sonarr allows you to custom select another nzb right in the interface.

It has also been grabbing the best quality nzbs and it's phenomenal. (I have ratings displayed in my SAB, integrated from OZnzb indexer - almost everything is rated 4 or 5 stars.)
(You even get a slider for the allowed sizes for SD/HD/BR/etc)

With sickbeard you never know what nzb it grabs and you just kinda hope for the best.... and if it fails you're screwed.

Give it a try!

SickBeard got raped by SickRage 2 years ago. Imo, it's way better than Sonarr.
 
Backs out of thread to quickly go Google sickbeard and sonar to see what the hell it is.

Sometimes I watch shows at 1.5x speed or more. Read fast so saves time.
Have some family members with hearing impairments and subs also help there,

It Saves time? saves time?
What's it like watching Game of Thrones on high speed where everyone just sounds like a chipmunk?

Sit down on the couch and chill man, geez - watching television in high speed like that will drive you mad man! :p
Strangest thing i've heard all day.

Not that fast.. Try it and see how it sounds.
One side-effect is you'll start wondering why people are talking so slowly :erm: but all in all its pretty decent. If I'm watching a thinking show ala Hannibal or True Crime. I watch at normal speed.

Habit started when I crammed 500+ One Piece episodes(20 min each) into a December holiday.

Read the anime thread here, think one or two other forumites do the same :o
 
Yea started with a bleach binge and now it's a habit too.
