Pasting from my reply to a PM I just received:

You need a client, provider, and nzb indexer.

I use SabNZBD, Eweka.nl, and nzbgeek. It’s about $70/yr or so for the two subscriptions.

You will configure the download client to use the provider for its connection, but the nzbs you download will tell your client which messages contain the files.

You can search the indexer and download files that way as if you were using a torrent site. But it is really smooth and easy to use with sonarr or radarr fetching things for you. In that case, you would configure those fetchers to log into the indexer to search then send the NZB to your client automatically.



I’m all about piracy, but as another alternative, consider seeing if you can get a digital library card somewhere local or multiple and connect them to Libby to borrow books and audio books for 2 weeks at a time



I have 3x 14 TB in a raidz1 setup on TrueNAS. Would take awhile to redownload but isn’t critical in any way, so I feel like that’s a good compromise.


Usenet is even better. I have my *arrs set up to run both and tdarr transcodes everything to h265 10 bit.


I’ve had an issue on a recent install in an LXC where it consumed more memory over time until a reboot. It hasn’t really been an issue yet, but I will have to investigate and maybe switch to another webgui client.
