“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

I happily pay for that!

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!

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

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:
