I signed up to Ninja a little while ago, after using Giganews since like 2001. Also got a friend to signup, since we were sharing the Giga account and things got a bit fucky. He signed up near the end of March, and this code was still valid:


Pretty happy with the speeds, basically maxed out my Fibre :D


Ah rad, thanks for that. I'm gunna switch over then since that promo still works and it's a 4th of what I pay now.

e: so far so good, same speeds way way cheaper. shoulda done this a while ago.

They're one of those providers that has a small local retention and then buys ~1100 days of retention from another provider. NewsDemon and NewsgroupDirect (the same guy owns all or part of all three companies) will match any offer, so you can mail their support and get the full 3800+ retention for the same price.

I'm trying to add Hydra2 as an indexer into Sonarr and it's not working. When I do a manual search in Sonarr I get zero results, despite Hydra testing ok in the indexer tab. Is there anything special I need to do when adding Hydra2?

Add it as a generic Newznab server, with the correct Hydra API key and address+port. I just set it up on my own box this past weekend and it works fine.

I've done some further investigating and it seems like it's only one specific show that has issues. Kind of strange that searching in Hydra2 directly would give results that are missing in Sonarr but I'll manage.

So I have hydra running, but one of the new (to me from .org) places has all these things saying don’t use hydra, or if you do be careful and not grab the nzbs with hydra. And then they're super helpful and say "If you are interested why, you likely already know the reason." :rolleyes:

Why does it matter to them?

Hmm, so as of this morning i've been getting the following error in SABnzbd.

Decoder failure: Out of memory

I tried reducing the article cache all the way down to 200MB but the same error keeps happening. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

I've tried deleting my queue, restarting everything and even updated to the latest SABnzbd version, but no joy.

Everything was working perfectly last night so i've no idea what's changed.

I use usenet express as my main https://usenetexpress.com/ (it's own local storage for short retention), then free usenet block account https://free-usenet.com/prices and tweak news block account https://www.tweaknews.eu/en/usenet-plans as backups. Works out well.

I've been using Usenet.Farm's cheapo option, since they frequently run sales of 20%-30% off, and you can pre-pay for additional months; plus my internet speed isn't great, so a cap of 6Mbps isn't really losing much. They only have a 75 day retention for all records, plus 500 days for popular stuff, but so far it's been good for my needs when combined with Blocknews block purchases for long-retention backups.

According to this: https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/introduction/known-issues#toc2 you shouldn't run it as a service, other than that did you check if you ran out of disk space? I don't think a lot of people here run sab anymore, so you may not get much traction.

Any notable benefits of Nzbget over sab? There's not currently any nzbget plugins for FreeNAS, so I doubt I'll actually try it unless it's got some really nice advantages because :effort:

It looks like there is an NZBHydra plugin, though, so I should probably try setting that up.

nzbget is written in C (or is it C++...i'm too lazy to look up which it is) so it's faster than sab on low-power devices like NAS's

The last time I checked out Nzbget, I was unable to download an NZB through my web browser, tell it to "open with" Nzbget, and have it appear in my download queue. I never had that problem with Sabnzbd so I never got rid of it. Did that ever get fixed? The fact that you couldn't open an nzb file and have it queue up?

If it doesn't work for you, you can tell it to monitor your downloads folder for any NZBs that get dropped in.

I'm not sure if that's been added, but considering the initial appeal of nzbget was the lightweight nature allowing it to run better on appliance devices features that only work when running locally on your PC probably aren't the highest priority.

What's wrong with using one of the browser extensions that passes the NZB directly from the indexer to the downloader?

That's a pretty hilarious thing to do a promo over. I still have almost 900GB left of the 1TB block I got at Christmas for $10, but I may have to add another block for that price.

Perhaps a bad question for this thread, but I see an increasing amount of VPN mentions, even in mainstream media. I've never used one, but I'd be curious if it's now considered a smart idea for someone using this thread?

They're different backbones, but there's no need to pay extra. Your indexers are more important than your provider these days with all the obfuscated posts. You should go for the cheapest one that offers what you want.

Yeah I was one of those heavy users who was mysteriously deleted, but I haven't had a problem since. They've been cheap and good.
