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.

    if you're paying for a vpn, then paying for usenet is no different.

    IF YOU ARE JUST OUT THERE RAWDOGGING TORRENTS IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2023 then you are a fucking legend.

    myself, i don't pay for either, but i do use xdcc still and i use i2p which supports torrenting.

      But I'm not. The only thing I'm going is requiring encrypting from all peers and using this blacklist.

      Guess I'm a fucking legend 😂 😂

        Encryption doesn't protect you from being identified. Encryption prevents eavesdropping unto the connection from a third party. DMCA lawyers don't need to do that to identify you as a seeder. All they need to do is request the content from you, watch you send to them, and make a record of your ip address.

        The blacklist, maybe protects you. No idea. Though it can easily be circumvented by a motivated group.
