Sonaar:

- You add the TV shows you want to track, and when new episodes are released (or when it detects you're missing episodes/seasons) it automatically pings the torrent search indexer/s you've connected to find the torrent for that show.

- The indexer then sends back the torrent magnet info to Sonarr, and Sonarr then sends that to the torrent client you've connected it to which starts the download.

Radarr does the same thing as Sonarr, but with a focus on movies.

In terms of connecting torrent indexers to Sonarr + Radarr etc, you'd want to use either Prowlarr or Jackett to handle that.

So a general flow could be Sonarr (tracks show and requests new episode) =>

Prowlarr (searches torrents and finds the torrent magnet link) =>

Sonarr (takes torrent magnet link and requests the download to start) =>

qbittorrent (starts the download) =>

JellyFin (scans your media downloads and gives you a media center/streaming interface to watch your shows on your devices)

Overseer is meant to combine the TV/Movie tracking with content discovery into one interface. This way, you can track your shows and find new ones, and it handles sending those requests over to Sonarr/Radarr.
