That's a nice deal for 50 connections. I currently have supernews, who are they a reseller for? Worth switching or will I likely encounter problems?

E: is that $4/mo into perpetuity or just the first month?

I dont know why they are cheaper but I have been using them along side block news and I have had no issues except for a 'too many connections' error that has never occurred again since and I made no changes to my config.

It finally happened, nzb.su is reverting old Friend accounts (from donations when they first started up) to regular accounts. These have been grandfathered into VIP accounts for years. I forget what I paid them back in the day, maybe 20 bucks or something, back in 2011. They emailed Friends asking for $25 for 4 years of VIP or you can otherwise just go into the regular VIP program (which I'd imagine costs more). I'll probably roll my own newznab some day but I've got enough projects right now so I paid for the 4 years of VIP.

How does rolling your own newnznab work in the modern obfuscated world?
Seems like NZB.su has a lot of obfuscated stuff that doesn't hit most indexers.

It depends on a lot of factors, for example how many groups you want to track.

I delete my videos after I've watched them, but sometimes Sonarr will go ahead and re-download them. How can I tell it to stop? I know there's a setting somewhere for this, because it's not doing it in every case, but I just can't figure out what I've done differently for the ones where it downloads once and never again.

Is it redownloading them, or is it upgrading them? You can set a cutoff quality or tell it not to download better quality files, and at the bottom of Media Management in settings, you can tell it to ignore deleted files.

The little chevron in the top left corner toggles this. Depending on the page you are on, it will do series, season or individual episode. If it is black, it means it is tracking (so will search and d/l missing episodes even if they have been watched and deleted). Clear means it is not tracking.

I was talking to a friend recently who runs a newznab instance and asked how much disk space and network it used (I don't think RAM would be an issue). He said with ~5 years of indexing most binary groups other than boneless (and possibly not indexing porn groups?) he's using just under 100GB on disk and when it's pulling down headers it uses maybe 25mbps. Not nearly as bad as I'd assumed it would be and now I'm seriously thinking about running one of my own in AWS or Digital Ocean.

I looked a bit in newznab source code and they have a list of groups by default. It looks to be a bit light though. Is there a more comprehensive list of binary groups that one should monitor if one would be so inclined to roll a personal newznab? I have been using usenet binary groups for almost a decade now but I have been spoiled by all the front-ends and tools on top of it that hide the actual groups things are in so I am a bit in the dark here.
Edit: Bah, it was just a matter of searching a bit and I had all my answers. I guess the management of bandwidth, db space and RAM it comes down to the management of monitored groups. Something like boneless would most likely make the requirements skyrocket.

I index 44 groups that I found just be googling around for good binary groups.

I've been running it for 5ish years and my db and newznab data directories are using ~10GB. Note that it took me a long time to get up to these 44 groups, so I don't really know what the data storage requirements would be if I was running 44 groups for that whole time.

In the last 30 minutes of indexing it's downloaded 2.02 GB. Mid-morning in America on a Thursday isn't exactly prime usenet activity time, though.

I saw that newznab offer their paid version that comes with the sphinx search engine. How awful is the search without it?

Yes.

Just google stuff like "good binary groups" or something. IIRC most of mine have come posts on reddit.

The main advantage of the paid version is that you get a shitton more capability because it comes with a bajillion more regexes that are constantly updated. The regexes are how it parses release names.

I don't really know how the search differs between sphinx and not-sphinx because I pretty much never search. It just feeds RSS feeds to radarr and sonarr. I can't remember the last time I actually went into the web interface.

Ahh ok good, so the paid version has a bunch of regex stuff for deobfuscation/tagging etc already done? I hate regex so that was mainly why I was avoiding my own newznab. I guess I will look more into this, I only spend like $20 a year on indexers but I guess I could save that money. I keep waiting for nzbs.org to die too, worried because I get like 80% of my grabs from it.

Yes, the paid version has hundreds of regexes and it automatically updates them with new ones and fixes.

The free version of newznab is basically useless.

I only run my own copy of newznab for the eventuality of whatever other indexers I use disappearing.

nZEDb is a free fork of newznab that pretty much covers all of nn's paid functions. I've just recently recommissioned an i3 machine that was sitting idle as a dedicated indexer, only 5 groups going back about 45 days at the moment, but it's doing a good job so far. I need to sit down and research some groups to expand it a bit.

Thanks for the info. Before I would splurge to give newznab my hard-earned $$$$ I wanna see what it could be capable of (I know, a fork, but still). I installed nZEDb, activated a group and now I'm the proud owner of a bunch of hashes that range in size from 300MB to 5GB. Yay me.
After some days of monitoring I'll probably add more groups just to see if there's anything out there besides those hashes.
One question: so far I was only able to update nZEDb using screen and the shell scripts. The tmux scripts wouldn't work for some reason (tmux wouldn't find sessions). Is newznab the same with updating (same style, screen+bash) or do they actually use cron like a normal person? Or do they run the scheduler internally?

Does it poll the groups more frequently than existing indexers? I see stuff posted on the usergroup IRC two minutes after it's done, but it's not on indexers for another 15 at least.

I swear this was just asked and answered, but I don't see it. Ignore deleted episodes doesn't prevent replacing with higher quality files as they become available. You might want to make sure that's not what's happening.

By default the script sleeps for only 60 seconds but I assume that can be changed somewhere.

On windows it's just a batch file so easy to change. However it takes a good 5 minutes to get through the script depending on how many groups you index.
