Usenet is very nice for home use. I used it for years. SSL encrypted, no need to use Bittorrent over VPN. Always max download speed. The parity part was annoying on a HDD but now that I have a Gen5 NVME it is incredibly fast.
I’m back using the same setup on a Seedbox and private trackers. I share access to my media library and I have Ombi setup so my family can add their own things to Sonarr/Radarr. Since it’s on a 50Gb connection it can handle bittorrent with no issue so I don’t bother paying for Usenet.
“once you go usenet, you will never go back.” true.
Been a torrent kiddie since the old days and thought this was the end all be all of online availability of stuff i want.
Friend of me got an unlimited account on fastusenet and let me hook into it. 20€/y for a very nice german & international newsgroup forum with unlimited API access that was made with sonarr / radarr in mind.
I can and don’t want to ever go back…it’s blazing fast, whenever i find something, i can be certain that it’s there and ready for download; Unlike torrents… just bcs u got a magnet doesn’t mean there are enough seeders. And then it takes sooooooo long. On usenet i get my 350mbit/s and it can even be unpacked while being downloaded.
That way i can request a movie and watch it in ~20min even if it’s a BR-REMUX that is like 80~90GB

It’s probably too complicated for a lot of people who got used to using torrents or they just don’t know what they are missing out.
Eh, one they get radarr/sonarr/lidarr setup- it does EVERYTHING for you.
The only downside, you do need a usenet account, which costs a few bucks. But- once you go usenet, you will never go back.

I happily pay for that!
Which German forums can you recommend? Would like to check it out as I cannot find any German content on public trackers.
I am only using Usenet, so now idea about good german torrent trackers.
but for usenet its:
houseofusenet scenenzbs
The only time I ever even consider using torrents, is for an obscure piece of content which I cannot find on usenet.
And even then, I do it all manually. There is too much “bad” content hosted there.
Edit- Please ignore my random downvote. nohbdyuno really… loves downvoting my comments for some odd reason.
How do you connect it to the *arrs?
The forums I use have APIs and I can enter those in the indexer settings of either prowlarr or directly in sonarr/radarr
Does that forum/indexer also have spanish content? German seems to be rare also. But that’s for both Usenet and BitTorrent.
Yeah it’s rare 😅
No Spanish as far as I can see 😔
Too bad. But thanks!
