File-bot is a tool that analyzes and renames movie, animation, and television files. It’s also excellent for storing downloaded movie and TV subtitles. Open-subtitle subtitles can be searched, and TV titles are automatically extracted from cinema databases. However, File-bot is not the only file or media organizer available.

SONARR
Sonarr differs a little from Filebot; it’s not truly a utility that renames. If you want to maintain your series structured and up-to-date, it is better for you. Sonarr tracks your favourite shows automatically and downloads the latest episodes. If you like, you can manually search for episodes that are missing on your calendar. Sonarr has little to do. It monitors RSS feeds for people torrenting online. If you torrent TV series or movies and want to keep your torrents organised and up-to-date it is a perfect alternative to Filebot. Ombi is working with Sonarr (and Radarr, Sonarr-based fork).
2. LIDARR
You’ll love Lidarr If you like Sonarr/Radar. It’s roughly the same, but instead of TV series it’s built for music. It is designed for individuals who want to listen to music from Usenet and BitTorrent. It will monitor RSS feeds for your favourite artists’ new releases, grab them, sort and rename new music as it gets informed. Lidarr from Github is available. It’s a terrific alternative to Filebot if you’re seeking for a means to download and organise your torrented music.
