Throwing out the option of switching the Frugal's $5/month until picking a permanent landing place at BF. That's what I did to cover a couple month gap last time (ended up sticking with Frugal)

I suspect that Newsgroup Ninja may be throttling my download speed due to too much bandwidth use, anyone know if that's a thing? In fact I'm almost certain they are doing it considering how low the speed is regardless of how long the file has been on the server...

I don't think so. Well I could be wrong, but I have gigabit ATT fiber with no caps supposedly. Does ATT fiber do throttling?

I've been fighting with my Sonarr install all week, it's been queuing downloads but then just falling over when they complete, never doing the move/rename/update to complete stage. Restarts, reboots, nothing fixed it. Manually importing worked, but that's not a long-term solution. ...then I realized it was still on an old V2 install last updated May 2020. Spent 5 minutes updating to V3, and everything is great again. The downside to being fully automated is I just kinda forgot that it needed a manual intervention to do the version upgrade.

I had some time to mess around with my setup and tried replacing NZBHydra 2 with Prowlarr and ended up keeping it. I like the method of adding indexers to Radarr/Sonarr directly better just because I can see the name of the indexer in the history or during interactive search. It's a small change but I also found out a small tool called unmanic (https://github.com/Unmanic/unmanic) that is a bit finicky but allows you to easily optimize your library, for example automatically remove all English language tracks from every file etc.

Does anyone here use EasyNews and have you had problems recently? At first I couldn't connect with either nzbget or SAB (would get 502 errors), but I could log into the website. Then they reset my password and now I can't even log into the website much less anything with nntp. Saw some people on Twitter having similar logging in issues. Supposedly they're working on it but I get the impression they don't know what's wrong.

There's a bug with the latest version of SABNZBD that has broken folder sorting, at least for some people. I didn't change any settings when I updated, but it no longer creates a series\season\file structure any more. Everything's just coming out as filename\file in the SABNZBD Complete directory. The sort string is still %sn/Season %s/%sn - S%0sE%0e - %en.%ext and it's still ticked as enabled. It just doesn't want to do it, and outputs as if sorting was set to Job Name as Filename. So beware before you update if you don't want to be driven insane by renaming things.

I got the correct plan but they made no mention of the SSL server being a different server to the regular one in their welcome email with my details in it. cleared my expired certs and got it working. wrt the speed issue, dont know what happened there but eventually got it to saturate my connection. Maybe my account wasnt set up for the full speed initially, or it wasnt available on the non-SSL server? idk. happy now but wasnt much to go on from their website initially. couldnt even find support/contact info (the sign up page doesnt include any account/login/support buttons)

This is mentioned in the release notes of the latest release candidate: https://github.com/sabnzbd/sabnzbd/releases/tag/3.4.2RC2 Looks like all types of sorting require having at least one category selected to work as of version 3.4.0, and that a warning will be added with the next release, but also that this change to behavior was intentional and isn't going to be reverted.

You need an indexer to tell you where the files are https://www.reddit.com/r/Usenet/wiki/indexers Of the open ones on that page, https://www.tabula-rasa.pw/register, https://nzbfinder.ws/register and https://nzbgeek.info/register.php are the only decent ones in my opinion. Tabula Rasa offers 100 api hits (your sonarr/radarr searches) and 10 downloads per day for free users. I would suggest trying that one to see what it's like. DrunkenSlug is probably the best bang for your buck on that list, so maybe someone with an account can invite you if you end up liking usenet.

I say this and now it's giving me SSL errors: code:edit: weird. There's a note on their announcements from a month ago saying Comcast customers are having SSL issues because of xFi Advanced Security flagging it as a "suspicious website", but I don't have any of that enabled because I'm using their modem in bridge mode. Also, I'm able to hit https://api.nzbgeek.info/api?t=caps&apikey=(removed) from this machine and the machine Sonarr is on (with curl, it's headless) and get an XML category list. Definitely looks like it's a problem on Sonarr's side, but I haven't changed anything. edit 2: Ok, I checked Radarr and it worked, so I restarted Sonarr and now it works fine.

Right now when I want to download the Howard Stern Show mp3s, I go to drunkenslug or nzbking (the only indexers that seem to have the show...is there any reason for that?) and then I type in "thss", download the newest episode, and transfer the mp3 to my phone. It's kind of a pain in the rear end, especially when I'm at work and not near a computer. Is there any way to do all of that from my Android phone? I guess I would need something like SABNZBDB for mobile?

I have Geek now and it seems fine, I rarely have issues finding anything recent/popular, would it ever be worth it to add DSlug just for backup/redundancy? It couldn't hurt to get a free account when registration is open. If your main indexer disappears for some reason then at least you'll have something. The better indexers like slug and geek upload their own releases to usenet and will have their own unique nzbs on their indexers. They're not just searching and indexing what's already posted to usenet. If one release gets taken down or is broken then you might have another unique post of the same file on another indexer. But yeah, some indexers will also have things that no other indexer has. Slug often has porn from a major torrent tracker that doesn't show up on geek, for example. If slug is closed at the moment, try a free account from tabula rasa or nzbfinder since those three sites share nzbs. This way you can see if you're missing anything by just having geek.

Cool thanks, I added a free Tabula Rasa account to my NZBHydra rotation, and camped r/usenetinvites for a while last year so I already had free accounts with Slug, Dog and Cat already. I may spring for a paid account with Slug if it's comparable to Geek, I don't grab stuff particularly often so even 1000 API calls a day would be plenty for me.

Is there a way I can limit how much Sonarr will queue up "Wanted" releases? I'm on a bandwidth cap on Comcast, and occasionally I look at it and realize it's queued up like 2TB worth of seasons from a show that's in my library but incomplete. I can pause the ones that get added and just keep them in my NZBget queue forever, but I'd rather give it a limit of, say, 500 GB/month for old releases.

Skip through a few videos on this new bullshit cryptocurrency, answer a few questions, u earn a few bucks worth. Took maybe half an hour to get enough for an indexer. You just convert to bitcoin or whatever and you're done. Also the folk at Drunken Slug was really chill. I sent like 0.00000001 BTC or whatever lovely cryptocurrency number over the limit and lost money thanks to the bitcoin transfer rates, i just emailed them with the proof of transaction or whatever and they set me right up with a number of months equivalent to the amount of bitcoin i sent  was really nice and chill

I remember back in 2006??? I worked a graveyard lumber mill job. I had an xm2go myfi sat radio receiver that could record and I had it plug into your pc via aux. I created some scripts to record O&A, dump the mp3 to my computer, and then add to iTunes so if everything was plugged in, it would be on an iPod nano that I had rigged up to my hardhat so I could listen to radio shows every night and it would take up at least half my shift to make it less monotonous. Good times. Nitr0 fucked around with this message at 11:48 on Oct 20, 2021 |
