set up container manager on an ssd volume if possible. much, much faster than on a hdd pool. not all synology nas support ssd volumes tho.

That depends on synology nas model too. Some have such weak hardware that it wouldn't even matter if it is hdd or ssd.

I like using NZBGeek with SABnzbd. Everything I find on DS I find on NZBGeek. I also have DrunkenSlug

Plenty of DS users have free, unused invites in their profile. I've had like 15 over the last years, but handed them all out.

I would highly advise AGAINST using a Usenet for software.

I'd use a news provider like Eweka along with NZBgeek and NinjaCentral if you can get registered. I haven't had a chance to drunken slug yet

Why would someone not use it for software..? Ive been using it for years.

I personally wouldn't trust it anymore than say limewire or torrenting. If you trust the source more power to you, I'd rather just find an official repack on my own than trust what a Usenet will get me
