I’ll start. Did you know you can run a headless version of JD2 on a raspberry pi? It’s not the greatest thing in the world, but sometimes its nice to throw a bunch of links in there and go to sleep.
Also what’s the safest/cheapest/possible free(?) VPN you can use to torrent? Thinking about doing that as Direct Download, while nice and more safe, can definitely be time consuming
Why would you need a free VPN? They are so cheap, and the safety and security and features that comes with a paid subscription is more than worth the very small yearly cost.
Protonvpn claim they have a few VPN. Honestly one of the easiest ways to torrent imo is to get a real Debrid subscription let them torrent them download the file through them without a VPN.
It’s been a couple years since I set it up so I couldn’t tell you what’s the best deal these days.
I use Newsdemon’s 2tb/mo plan (Black Friday deal, it’s almost free it was so cheap) and a Blocknews block for completion. I don’t have any issues with downloads being incomplete but YMMV.
Nzbgeek indexer (lifetime sub), Sabnzbd downloader, and the full *arr suite for automation, and an Emby server running on my NAS.

Windscribe. It’s free but has a 10gb cap per month. I’ve used it plenty of times to torrent movies and they don’t do logging.

I’m more interested in paying for a VPN that isn’t a subscription. Are there any good options?
There isint. This is your moment, do you take the plunge and buy a vpn, sign your soul to a pirates life?
Rise Up VPN seems to work pretty well and is based on OpenVPN. It crashes less than my qbittorrent client so I’ve had minimal issues with it.

I’d rather pay for a decent Usenet backbone and use exclusively SSL downloads than rely on a VPN with torrents.
You don’t want a free VPN. I’d cough up for Mullvad if I was going that route.
Which one do you personally prefer? I used to use easynews and some giganews back in the day but dunno how the latest and greatest is these days.

Thanks for all the neatly packed info. Seems like I nailed with the indexer but will check the rest out. Cheers.
I couldn’t agree more. Usenet all the way.
