There is a particular car I wanted to get, but it isn't available on usenet. How do I go about adding it? I have subscriptions to an indexer and provider.

Here's a comparison of Usenet uploading tools [1]. If your comfortable with cli nyuu is likely your best bet, otherwise ngPost has a GUI.

If you don't obfuscate the files (i.e. don't rename the files to some random string, and keep the file title), your upload should be able to found by usenet search engines like binsearch.info and other Usenet indexer might pick it up too.

If you obfuscate it the only way to find the files is the nzb you created and it'll have to be added to a usenet board/indexer.
