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.

    So your connection can be (using port 587 for example) is encrypted. That is not the problem.

    The problem is unencrypted or open filenames. Its the content that is DMCA’d on usenet, not the end user.

    If you post up to usenet a file (being really simplistic since most people dont post) called “Deadpool3-h264.mkv” it will be taken down pretty quick on some services.

    The problem is only with the users like you, who wanted to get it. The solution to this is threefold, get yourself onto a private scraper (one that only does occasional free signups) or be really fast on content grabbing, thirdly a site that has good de-obfuscating scraping ability. (there are a few out there that are open. pm if you are interested).

      Ah, okay, thank you.

      So the problem isn’t for the downloading party but for content availability on the server.
