Shimitar

One month ago I decided to give the 'Arrs a chance and, while there are issues and limits, i'am loving them.

But I have an issue: at home I have only internet access trough a 5G mobile network connection which means zero opportunity to have port forwarding or open ports at all. This rules out private torrent trackers (tried a couple, no luck in getting any ratio ofc). Public torrent trackers being basically shit, I decided to give Usenet a try, and two things happened:

1. I started loving it!
2. I discovered I have a 1tb/months full band with cap on my home connection. After that from 200mb/s I get dropped to 6mb/s this time, unlimited bandwidth.

I have a few suggestions first for newcomers: 'Arrs: start using them NOW. Also, they will help you organize your existing library, but be aware that doing a good job is not only mandatory but also time-consuming. Also, get JellyFin and it will play along with your organized (-- imean it) collection nicely. Make sure you set proper umask and group (media management/advanced settings for each arr app) do that the entire stack andbl jellyfin can write into your media collection: this will reduce issues with metadata sync a lot. Get bazarr working with subscene! And setup a nice nginx reverse proxy for the entire stack.

Some issues I ran into: Readarr really has issues with finding stuff and specially with audio books. Anybody could help me out here?

Lidarr seems always to go to torrent, which get stuck with no seeders for me. Is there music on Usenet?

Now to the last part: Usenet! That changed my entire game. As movies and TV series, I can literally find anything fast and saturated my 1tb plan in two days. I have newshosting and recently got eweka for less than 4€/month. Don't get caught in the common lie of three months free: they always charge 15 month immediately so you cannot really test them out then cancel. As indexers I got NZBGeek and I am planning to seek out DrunkenSlug. Any suggestions here?

(I know newshosting and eweka are probably overlapping, getting both was a mistake, but a relatively cheap one)

One last question: audiobooks and music on Usenet: what is your experience?

One truly last question: any way to integrate soulseek (nicotine+) on the arr stack?

Thanks fellow sailors.

Looking to start using drunkenslug... Anybody can help?

Thank you.

So, i want to give a try to usenet world.

I have the *Arr setup with torrents now, and works great, but why not experiment a bit further?

So many questions...

First of all: will i find italian contents? Or its all US/English stuff?

I got an account on NZBFind, bit thats only an indexer right? I need also to find an access provider to usenet? If so, which access provider do you recomend? I want somewhere i can test for a few weeks or a month or so before committing, so no credit card upfront.

Update: trough techradar got an offer on newshosting for 5.99/mo with 3 monts free. Paid with PayPal then cancelled the recurrent immediately (so paid 0 so far). But at the moment not yet sure i made it working in my *Arr setup properly.

Recently setup the *Arr stack&transmission+ JellyFin and loving it... (linux user, with always on server at home, behind a 5G unlimited connection)

I am a torrent person, dont understand usenet at the moment.

A few questions to fellow sailors:

• how do you safely and easily import your existing libraries? (Movies tv.shows books..)

• how do you manage multiple languages.in movies? Like having the movie in french and english both

• where and how to search for audiobooks? Really cant find many...

Any tips for daily usage?

Hi fellow people! I want to download & save a huge set of small videos (20min each) for a swimming course I paid for and they don't let me download , and this is driving me crazy.

The videos can be accessed via browser only, and I tried tubedowoader with no success (gives an error "empty keys" while attempting to download).

What should I try?

(Android is first choice, then Linux ofc)

Ciao! Sono un triatleta amatoriale e penso sarebbe interessante una community dove condividere i propri allenamenti con gli altri per discutere e scambiarsi idee.

Non una community generale Triathlon in quanto quella potrebbe servire per scambiarsi idee e spunti più generali (es gare, tracce, consigli zona cambio, squadre, etc), ma una dedicata al training. Potrebbe attirare anche dei coach freelance ad esempio.

Oddio, volendo anche tutte e due (generale e training).

Che ne pensate? Io dal mio posterei quotidiamente i miei allenamenti e potrei moderare anche se non sono un professionista ne un coach, non penso sarebbe necessario esserlo.

Not much activity here. I would expect mass moving from reddit specially on communities like anti-work where some kind of concepts like strikes are familiar.

I am honestly... Baffled.
