When I set it up, it asked for an email address for people to reply to. I'm using Astraweb, do I need to use an email address they provide (like lordwindy@astranet.com) or do I just use a normal email address like an @gmail? By the way did this come in the mail for you yet? I hope that this is an improvement over the old 33.6 you had.  Seriously. You're using Usenet via Thunderbird?

How are you supposed to use it? Thunderbird is my email client, the messages all appear in it nicely, I have no issue joining things and I can cart it around on my USB.

I wish I had known that before hand, the OP says you need an account. Hell, rec.games.roguelike.development said I should use one. And I thought that was all Usenet was, or is the safety note code for the fact that it's for pirating? But back to my original question, can I use any old email like my @me, or do I need to use one that Astra provides because I didn't see any email address when I signed up for it.

In all seriousness, I have a lot of respect for people who use Usenet for, you know, discussions. Granted, the last time thing I posted was a request to a.b.radio.bbc a few years back, but for things related to computer science, programs, there's decades of knowledge on there. If you can find an active group, it's potentially a good way to avoid the eternal September factor that has plagued the rest of the internet. Sometimes I long for the day where it was pretty complicated to get online. In the '80s/'90s it was pretty common to cop poo poo for spending lots of time online. Nowadays the very same people who might have bullied you 20 years ago spend the entire day on the internet posting nonsense.

Nowadays the very same people who might have bullied you 20 years ago spend the entire day on the internet posting nonsense. "Back in my day.." The first "computer" I had internet access on was a Dreamcast. After that I upgraded to my Acorn RiscPC (probably means nothing outside the UK), where comp.sys.acorn.* was the only real place you could have active discussions. Actually reading newsgroups was my introduction to online communities really.

The Dreamcast came out in '99 and you had an Acorn machine after that? My head is doing backflips. I haven't touched one of their boxes since an Archimedes in about 94 or so.

Yeah, I know. My high school still used Acorns so I got one (probably around the same time as the Dreamcast release) to do my GCSE coursework. They did move on a chunk from the Archimedes era, and you could get an x86-on-a-card to run Windows in a hardware-assisted VM. It looks like there are some crazy enthusiasts out there still trying to run them; from a quick Google there's an event scheduled for next year.

Is there a way to get Sonarr/NZBDrone to scan indexers for shows more often? The PC it's on is on 24/7, and SB will find a show about 30 minutes after it airs while Sonarr might still not have downloaded it 24 hours later. I have SAB/SB still running but paused to contrast the two, and Sonarr is really nice for navigating and failed downloads, but it's annoying how it seems to have a constant problem of lagging 12+ hours behind SB.

What do you have for settings under... (turn on Advanced Settings) Settings -> Indexers -> RSS Sync Interval and Settings -> Download Client - Failed Download Settings I have no issues with 12+ hour later downloads, mine are usually found within 15-30 minutes after airing.

What indexers do you have configured? It's possible SB is using their own indexer while the indexer you have in Sonarr is way behind.

Looking at my logs in SB about half the things it grabbed were from another indexer. So it may have just been my own misunderstanding what RSS sync actually did when I set it up. I thought it was the personal RSS feeds some sites have for some reason.  (Why I had it on for SB then? Who the hell knows...)I enabled RSS sync for them all and added wombles, maybe now that I actually have it set up right it'll work better. Thanks for the responses, probably would have never dug into that otherwise.

Any iPhone users know of good ways for nzbs.org to talk to nzbget? I still have the old sabnzbd app installed which can read the nzbs section feeds, but only supports adding releases to Sab and not the rss grabber on get. I have an app that supports nzbget but only searches binsearch. Nzbs don't do a mobile style sheet so browsing it is a headache. Has to be a better way...

Add the nzbs to your nzbs.org cart, then grab them via rss in nzbget. Woops completely didn't see you mentioned iphone. Not sure then...can your app just add them to your cart?

Nope doesn't seem to support that, only works using the API in Sab. Maybe there's a way of emulating this within get so the app doesn't realise I don't use Sab anymore. Either that or maybe an RSS reader would make it easier, might try that now for a test section.

Anyone having trouble with Astraweb being slow? I just changed out the configuration my Usenet from Raspbian to Arch. Under Raspbian I'd always peg out my internet connection which was about 2.5mb/s. Now under Arch it wanders between 2.5mb/s and 1mb/s. Is this Astraweb or me? I never really paid much attention to my Usenet setup so I'm not sure if this is just me just noticing poo poo that occurred on my last setup as well.

The software automatically checks for releases as they appear in the "recently added" RSS feeds of providers you've set it up to periodically scan, backlog searches are never performed unless you manually prompt it to do so.

Is there any graceful way to deal with TV shows whose as-aired order is the "wrong" order? I've upgraded from Sickbeard/SAB to Sonarr/NZBGet/Plex Server and just figured out that Moral Orel's season 1 has a much different DVD/production order than as-aired.

Sonarr uses thexem.de as a fixer on the fly for TheTVDB listings. Unfortunately it's pretty transparent so you don't know when it's going to kick in, and I plan on throwing some suggestions their way to help. For an example : American Dad s07e01 from a downloader into Sonarr will get sent through XEM and get 'translated' to American Dad s08e01 to match their listings.

Yeah thexem works. I've had to jump on their channel a couple of times to get help setting up mappings for a show because the UI is transparent as concrete, but once they get it on there, Sonarr correctly names poo poo.
