 In docker containers, to automate movie/tv fetching I use the following:

 Sonarr <tv>
 Radarr <movies>
 Lidarr <music>
 Mylar  <comics>

there are things like "readarr" for books too, but any books I want I manually grab.

You need a good indexer or two for newsgroups,  I have lifetime subscriptions to a couple,  but the most reliable one I've used (and one that has lasted a very long time) is nzbgeek (http://nzbgeek.info)  

Then you'll need a good newsgroup provider subscription. 

You can also use something like Jackett with these apps, which proves an indexer-like API for various torrent sites. The "arr" suite of applications (everything I listed above, except for Mylar is built on the same stack (https://wiki.servarr.com), which seems to be .NET (C#) based. 

I use SABNZBD as my newsgroup downloader (also a docker container), and deluge for torrents. They all work together fairly seamlessly, and very rarely do I have to go in and fiddle with anything in order to fix a problem.
