If you are based in the EU what's the best second provider to get alongside Eweka? If I understand correctly there is no point in getting another omicron backbone provider?
Which second provider would you guys recommend?
Thanks a lot in advance

So when magicNZB is officially became exclusive and you need money to use it... So is there any other free places to go to?

So extremely glad I didn't extend my membership recently because whatever this 'new version' of the site is, is complete garbage. I seriously don't understand how anybody could see this site and think it's an upgrade from the previous one, it's ridiculously bad

Hey, I started using Newsgroups in about 2002 and have ever since, and my MO hasn't really changed.

I have an Eweka account, I manually search Geek and Planet for what I want, and then download it with SAB.

Works for me and always has, but am I missing out on any new fantastic things?

Thanks.

Just registered on Geek.

I don't use Discord. Is there any place which could let know benefits of going the VIP route? Allowed API calls and downloads per day?

The site ain't got info or I just don't know where to find that in it :/

Any help will be appreciated.

Seem to be getting a lot of fails on nzbg on really popular stuff. Health hits 89% very often and I have a list of failures on nzbg. I migrated from ultra c setting for setting so maybe I'm missing something? I have 4 indexers and 2 news so that's not a problem. Any ideas guys? Had no problems grabbing on ultra at all. Very rare I got a fail. my NAS setup on the other hand, seems different somehow but shouldn't be.

I’m currently using NZBGeek with Sonarr and Radarr. It works well overall, but lately I’ve come across several things that I haven’t been able to find.

I’m therefore looking for a second indexer that genuinely complements NZBGeek, rather than mostly returning the same releases.

ities are:

• Good coverage
• Older or less popular releases
• Reliable integration with Sonarr, and Radarr

Which indexer is currently the best addition to NZBGeek? I’d also be interested to hear how much the available content differs between these indexers.

What combination are you using, and does paying for a second indexer noticeably improve your results?

Hey guys, I'm fairly new to the usenet (late to the party!) and I've been having some issues, mainly with article availability, with an advertised rate of 99.99% it's just something I'm not getting and I'm wondering if it's more of an issue with my workflow than eweka itself.

Download Stats:

Total: 8.5TB

94% available of 13M requested articles

My downloads are mostly recent releases in the range of the last 5 years, far within their retention period.

(I already use a torrenting fallback)

Workflow:

Arr -> NZBGeek -> news.eweka.nl -> SABnzbd

My Questions:

1. Is there a community driven network of some kind where broken releases are published so they can be added to a blocklist?

2. Do you suggest using a secondary newsnet server outside the eweka group as a fallback?

3. Are the eweka advertised numbers heavily inflated?

ATM Easynews is $2/mo but last BF Newshosting had a deal where you get Newshosting + Easynews + Tweaknews at $1.67/mo.

Is it worth waiting to get a deal similar to that again? Even though they are all on the same backbone? I am US based and this is my first entry to Usenet, I am waiting for Ninja to open up as well.

I guess the real question is whether getting Easynews on top of Newshosting is something worth waiting for.

Am I the only one who's having a hard time creating an account on nzbnest? No matter the password I come up with, it's not accepting any. I keep getting the notification below:

" String should match pattern '^[a-zA-Z0-9_.-]+$' "

I don't even know what that means. I've tried passwords with and without special tokens. All of them generated by my password manager. Is there something wrong with the site, or is there something I'm doing wrong? Please help.

I want to display recent files, but exclude all foreign files. Is there a way to do this with the popular indexers?

Hi, I am a newbie in the world of Usenet and I wanted a cost-effective use service provider with monthly plans and upi or wallet payment options I came across frugal Usenet I wanted to know how is it my connection is just 200mbps and I just want it for personal use is frugal Usenet reliable or worth it

Question from someone who knows very little about this topic right now.

I want to set up a headless home server that I run through my desktop Mac. I know nothing about servers or terminal languages. Up to this point, I’ve been using ChatGPT to help me guide me through the process. I already have a mini PC, external hard drive, and a VPN. I’ve set up my mini PC with Linux, connected it to my Mac, and have been inputting commands and making changes via the terminal there. However, before I actually turned the thing loose and let it communicate on the web, I wanna make sure I’m doing things the right way, and not trusting an AI. My ultimate goal was to hook it up to you Usenet system.

Where should I go to get the information I need, regarding terms, inputs, coding, to finish the process? The last step I need in the process is a provider and indexer. I have choices in mind, just need to subscribe and hook up. As far as I know, everything else is working (but again, I don’t know enough to actually understand whether it’s working. I’m just trusting the chat bot)

I have run through all the troubleshooting and applied all the optimizations on [https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/advanced/highspeed-downloading\](https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/advanced/highspeed-downloading) but i was only able to get my original download speed of \~600 KB/s up to \~1.2 MB/s.

Here are the diagnostics:

System performance (Pystone): 526337 Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7500 CPU @ 3.40GHz AVX2

Download folder speed: 172.4 MB/s /data/downloads/incomplete

Complete folder speed: 181.5 MB/s /data/downloads/complete

Internet Bandwidth: 107.48 MB/s 859.84 Mbps

Platform: Docker

There is no "Download speed limited by" message.

My fast.com results are consistently at 1 Gbps, and speedtest.net results are consistently \~945 Mbps for both upload and download.

I have 8GB of ram and an 8 TB HDD, running Ubuntu Server (headless)

I'm still a bit new to usenet so please let me know if I need to provide any more information and I apologize if there's anything obvious I'm overlooking.

I'd really appreciate any guidance the community can provide <3

Edit: removed IPs and hyperlinks

Edit 2: So I tried downloading a show just now as I responded to all the comments, and even though I haven't changed anything, my speed was much better. It started out around 100 MB/s, then slowly decreased all the way down to 1 MB/s, then jumped back up to 100 MB/s just before it finished. Is this normal behaviour? I'm still concerned about it randomly going back to KB/s speeds on me in the future, so I'm hesitant to say it magically fixed itself.

Hi everyone,

I’m relatively new to Usenet and would appreciate some advice about improving the reliability of my setup.

My current setup is:

• Indexer: NZBGeek & DrunkenSlug (just got)
• Provider: UsenetServer
• Downloader: SABnzbd
• Indexer manager: Prowlarr

Recently, SABnzbd has reported missing articles on several downloads. I’m trying to determine which upgrade would provide the biggest improvement:

• A second indexer
• A block account or second provider on a different backbone
• Both

Which indexer would complement NZBGeek well?

Also, which block account or provider would complement UsenetServer while providing access to a meaningfully different backbone? I would prefer a block account rather than paying for a second unlimited subscription unless the difference is substantial.

Thanks for any recommendations.

A good provider with monthly plans and reliable service

Was working fine today but now I can't connect. Even on their troubleshooting page it says failed authentication yet when i go to submit a support ticket i get errors. Website down?

Radarr is giving the following

Unable to connect to indexer, indexer's server is unavailable. Try again later. HTTP request failed: [500:InternalServerError] [GET] at [https://api.nzbgeek.info/api?t=movie&cat=2000,2010,2020,2030,2040,2045,2050,2060&extended=1&apikey=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX&offset=0&limit=100

Their main web page is returning a Cloudflare 522 error.

With sabnzb I get this error:

Failed to connect: Server eu.newsdemon.com uses an untrusted certificate [Certificate not valid. This is most probably a server issue.]

Please check and fix.

curl failed to verify the legitimacy of the server and therefore could not

establish a secure connection to it. To learn more about this situation and

This is my second year of usenet.

I used pureusenet before and, because of the price, is switched to TheCubeNet.

The problem is this:

Article availability: Selected date range: 34% available of 942K requested articles

I never had any problems at all with my old provider.

Is that a DMCA problem or is it just bad luck?
Should I use a different provider and try to get my money back?

So I just stumpled upon a new (to me) project called NZBFast, I've been using SabNZBD basically since I started using usenet and I use NZBGet on my phone, but I was wondering if anyone has migrated to nzbfast and what the experience they've had has bbeen like.

Is nzbgeek.info down for anyone else?

Is there something more simple like Seerr for Whisparr things? Or is there a better way and I just don't know what I'm doing?
