Automatic will make the process of downloading RSS content easier. However, when using it, you should note some issues.

First, downloading large files (like TV shows) using a regular Internet connection will take a lot of time and consume a lot of your bandwidth. Therefore, when you see your computer is too slow, the cause of that phenomenon is Automatic running in the background.

Secondly, there are many files available for download, but not all files are valid. Therefore, you should download the valid files and remember that you have to take full responsibility for all your actions.
