Relatively new to this but, I finally got my media server up and working! I want to improve the success of the search function though. Is there a way to know if content is on usenet but my indexer is not good enough? I would rather steer clear of torrenting for now. How do I go about finding good indexer?
I think theres no way to know if content is on usenet but not getting found through your indexer, apart from trying another indexer and noticing the file is there. I’d suggest getting 2-3 lifetime memberships and they should cover your needs. Sometimes lifetime is available fairly cheap, sometimes it’s not open and you have to wait. In terms of recommendations, I like nzbgeek, drunkenslug, miatrix, and nzbplanet.
I’m using Geek, they’re pretty good so far. I’ve found everything I’ve searched for on them. I don’t even search trackers anymore, with how fast and efficient Usenet is compared to torrents.
I’ve started using alldebrid. It technically is torrents but not using my home network so I don’t need a VPN anymore. I use RealDebrid Client with my alldebrid account and it works with all the *arr services. Most torrents I can download at my full ISP speed.
I know it’s not what your asking for but just throwing the idea out there.
Have you tried using prowlearr? It claims to support usenet.
It’s not a claim, Prowlarr does support Usenet.
