Completely new to Usenet and trying to walk my self through setting it up. What are API hits? NZB.su is limiting me to 80 API hits a day. Is that something similar to 80 searches a day?

Vykk.Draygo posted:I'm pretty sure that means you can only download 80 NZBs per day. I can't imagine you'd be hitting that cap very often, and when you do, there are alternative sites you can use. Well, it states that I'm limited to 10 NZB downloads per day and 80 API hits.

I'm free and my account is gone on Nzb.su

The Gunslinger posted:... I've also embarked on using tdarr to convert my ridiculous library to h265 and it's going to net around 6TB of space back. Unfortunately the lack of any GPU to transcode means it will take a few months but so be it! Do tell us more about this. I use private trackers over usenet for my linux ISOs but it would be great to have an automated way to go thru my library and convert things to h265 to save space.

For those with a large amount of linux ISOs, how do you handle backups? I keep my ISOs on an external USB drive plugged into the desktop, no backup solution. I know it's only a matter of time before that bites me.

Volguus posted:I personally do not backup linux ISOs. They can be downloaded again. Backing up that junk is just a waste of bits (in my opinion). You could get a NAS and have 2 drives mirroring and survive if one kicks the bucket, though I personally do not do that as I do not believe it's worth it. I backup important stuff to B2. It's extremely cheap to upload and store it there, it's expensive to download (or ship a drive). But, if I need that backup then yeah, that'll be worth it. I hope I never do. Thanks. I was thinking along the same track of "just download the ISO again" in the event of a crash.

In addition to Linux ISOs, can Usenet also be a resource for Linux Manuals/Books? Or is it mainly just ISOs?

Hughlander posted:Yes, and even geeks reading linux manuals to you! check out all the 'arr's. Sonarr, Radarr, Readarr, Lidarr(Had really really bad performance last I looked at it.) Thanks! It's probably been 8 years since I've done anything with Usenet but I might have to see if I can figure some of those out for my linux manuals.

Elphiem posted:Has anyone noticed Windows Defender flagging the rars in your download folder? Yes. For the first time in years of downloading Linux ISOs, I had Windows Defender flag a rar file. In this instance, it was "Trojan:Script/Wacatac.H!ml". This was on Windows 10 and using Torrents. I'm not smart enough to be confident in classifying something as a false positive so I trashed it.

Since the audience for Usenet may intersect with the audience for torrents: For Ubuntu, is there a recommended simple torrent client that you recommend? I've been using qBitTorrent for years but am about to set up a new VM for my ISOs and wanted to check if I'm missing out on anything.

A rookie question about usenet and infosec: I have a linux VM running a SABnzbd container. No VPN at the moment.

Everyone posted:Infosec advice... Ok I'll continue down this path, thank you. Also, it's a great feeling to max out my speeds with usenet compared to what I was getting through p2p.

Is there an appreciable difference between what's available on DrunkenSlug versus NZBGeek? With DS I can get 5 free linux ISOs per day which is plenty for me but not sure if NZBGeek has something worth paying for.
