Picked up that Frugal deal for $37 a year this morning. Switching off of Super news and tweaknews as my backup. Hopefully it's good with the bonus backups.

Some of the nzb sites are also doing renewal discounts. I re-upped on on .su recently (no discount afaik) so I'm not doing it, but dog sent me an email about tacking a few months on for each renewal yesterday. I forget why I let VIP lapse on dog but they're kind of dickheads, this is their current deal:code:

Drunkenslug and nzbgeek are also doing deals DS is 18 instead of 12 months on VIP Nzbgeek has 5 year for $30 and lifetime for $60 and discounts on smaller plans Those two have really become my go to for the past few years. I believe DS opened registrations today too.

Nice, I just did 18 months x2 at Slug and now have another 3 years. Cheers.

I've been running exclusively Frugal with the bonus Farm backup, plus a bunch of Farm block that I'd purchased prior to them linking up with Frugal. I very rarely have anything fail, and run through probably 400-600GB/ month.

I only use 100-150gb per month, so the blocks are much more economical for me. I ended up getting newsgroupdirect for my main provider with a 500gb block of vipernews as a backup.

Thanks for making me look. I downloaded 120GB this month, as per SABNzbd. Typical month I'd say. I'll be better served by a block account.

I didn't realize Astraweb was even still around. I feel like I haven't heard that name in a decade. Can't remember why I dumped them, but I'm pretty sure they were doing something shady at the time.

I'll remind the thread of the rules in the OP: Don't talk about the specific contents of specific newsgroups. Don't talk about things you want to download from Usenet, things you've already downloaded from Usenet, or ask for help with utilizing things you've downloaded from Usenet. Don't post direct links to NZBs, collections of NZBs, or Newzbin reports of copyrighted material. Don't post screenshots or logs that haven't been sanitized. Black bars, use them.

What's the "proper" way to deal with shows that are reported to TVDB(?) In the format SeasonYearExx as opposed to SeasonEXx (ie the "season" is a 4 digit year instead of a two digit season starting at 01). Sonarr has no idea how to search for these things and it's rare enough that I never learned how to contend with it. I hope that question is clear and someone knows what I mean.

If it is, when you add the show to Sonarr change the series type from Standard to daily and that should fix the issue.

There’s no real benefit to the Frugal package that includes BlockNews blocks since they use the same backbone, right?

So is NZBget still the go-to for *arr downloading? I notice that there doesn't seem to be much ongoing development on it.

Weird I jumped from sabnzbs because it seemed to be less functional than nzbget. I see no need for updates on nzbget as is tho.

I've only ever used SAB, but I believe at one point there was some Netscape/Explorer rivalry thing going on, and early on Get was better. Then development stalled and SAB pulled ahead in updates and features. Last I heard they were both fine, use whichever one works best for your system.

I used NZBget for a while, but I switched back to SABnzbd and I like it better. Maybe I'm just more used to it, maybe it's that the switch back corresponded to me switching from self-hosted to a seedbox with an extremely fat pipe, but it just seems to work nicer.

Aware posted:I could never get the arrs to play nice with get so that drove me to sab. Yeah, iirc this was part of it for me, I had to do everything through blackhole folders. The arrs are much nicer if they can actually talk to your downloader API, otherwise they're not a huge upgrade over SickBeard.

Hmm I’ve been using sonarr and radarr with get for years and don’t have to use black holes or anything like that. I’ll try screenshot some of my setup tomorrow and see if there’s anything I do differently.

I don't really have a reason to move away from SAB so don't bother on my behalf. I never even log into it now it's setup.

I found using nzbget vs SAB like sitting 2-inches off the ground in a kit-car doing 150 mph vs the same in a Porsche. It might feel faster and be more exhilarating, but it's so much more comfortable in the Porsche.

On my machine sab used 20-25% cpu vs 10% for nzbget at full speed. I use nzb360 on my phone to manage things, I suppose I don't see the nzbget ui too often. As far as arrs, both downloaders worked identically for me.

Tried to use NZBget for a period probably about a decade ago since I wanted something more lightweight on my awful hardware, but since it would fail on stuff that downloaded just fine in SABnzbd I moved back. The latter has since worked on offloading most CPU-intensive functionality to binary components so it's pretty impressive how well it stacks up against the C++ "competitor" nowadays.

Cool, I'll have to try out SAB again then. It's been about 2 years since I last checked it.
