Thanks to you cool people I set up my mac mini with XBMC, then connected it to a TB harddrive. I just need to set up SAB so that it downloads everything correctly, and then let me pick stuff from other computers as well. Another thing: I don't have the iphone, so is getting an apple remote worth it? Is it easy to configure / work well?

bEatmstrJ posted:This is probably a silly question but i'm sure it can be easily answered. I've been using Giganews' Diamond SSL plan for several years now and have been super happy with it with its fast speeds and good retention and whatnot, but I've always thought it to be a bit pricey at $30 a month. So what am I going to lose by switching to supernews at $10/mo? Is it slower? Can I use SSL? What am I missing? Same servers, now similar retention, the only thing you really lose is weird client that giganews provides. As was said above, there's really no reason to use Supernews of Giganews anymore. edit: also you can still use SSL, with 30 connections. I think the only difference is that giganews is 50 connections but I've never seen that really make a noticeable difference in speeds.

Hogburto posted:Comcast has got to be throttling unencrypted NNTP as well. At least on my end. 1.5MB/s Encrypted over port 563 drops down to <300KB/s when I switch to unencrypted on port 119. I use comcast too, but I see a very marginal speed difference between these, seeing about 1.5 - 2MB/s on 119 and maybe like 2.1 to 2.2 on 563

smackfu posted:Are Easynews and Supernews using the same backend? I like the web search for Easynews to find single files easily, and will probably keep it just for that, but it has always had poor retention. So I figured I would sign up for the $99 Supernews deal to get access to older stuff. Well it looks like that they have data caps, something supernews does not.

uh zip zoom posted:I think it was just a matter of retention. Everything is configured right (been able to get some episodes of popular shows, but no episodes of other even more popular shows). I signed up for a block plan to use as a backup server, and then switched all of my snatch episodes to wanted and was able to get a whole bunch more. Maybe I'll sign up for NZBMatrix, to round out everything. The money I spend here pales in comparison to my monthly Comcast bill Again, NzbMatrix is very worth it, because no matter what there'll be comments and so you have some idea of what you actually might be downloading.

My sickbeard has become unuseably slow...which makes no sense because it's running on my machine. I know it's on and running because it shows up in the taskmanager, so when I try to open localhost:8081, it just sits there loading for pretty much ever. If I close the process, it stops loading and tells me sorry! with the sickbeard logo. What the gently caress? Sab is working fine. I'm running SickBeard at startup if that helps.

Ok so I finally set up CouchPotato, and there's this weird short film called Killer Sandwhich 2 Leftovers Reloaded that got moved into my new movies folder. Sab has no record of downloading it and neither does CouchPotato, so is this a virus or something?

Shroomie posted:I'm downloading from Supernews just fine right now. About this, does this mean that if a file is downloaded and is missing a certain number of blocks for the repair, it will go to the backup server and only download those parts of the files it needs? 1Mbps is too slow for downloading really anything, but if I can use it for small parts of failed downloads that would be awesome.

Sperg Victorious posted:The main problem with highwinds is that they do DMCA takedowns. Giganews does it too. So they're not unique. You'll always need a backup feed from someone. I think all providers do DMCA takedowns (but remember, only a few blocks) so that they remain legal. I could be wrong, but my understanding is that the providers took down different blocks so with backups most stuff would be fully available.

So Giganews is having a sale for their plat package or whatever that comes with the browser and vpn, for $17 a month for a few months. Is it worth switching off supernews for a few months to get the VPN + Mimeo plus cloud hosting and some other stuff?

Radio Talmudist posted:I also get the sense that these index sites go down with alarming regularity... Considering NZBMatrix sells their accounts in increments of 10 years, I certainly hope it won't go down any time soon. As for it's interface, I'm actually fine with it since it shows what I search for and lets me add it to sab with one click. It is lacking some of the nicer features that beta.nzbs.org has such has being able to show entire series of shows on one page of the selected quality, but it's never been a big deal for me and you can use sickbeard for that stuff anyways.

Is there any sort of command-line usenet search tool that connects to the bigger search providers like nzbs.org? I spent a lot of my time working on the command line at it might be nice to just be able to download stuff as I think of it during the day while I'm working (with the added benefit of not having to like, you know, open a browser to nsbz.org during work). If not, would there be interest in one?

So I've decided to write the command-line searching tool (working name "manhunt"). I'll be sure to keep you guys updated, I should have a working version in at most a couple days. Right now I'm focusing on newznab indexers, so that covers nzbs.org and goonzb (if that's even still a thing).

So I got a very very rough-around-the-edges version of my command line newznab searcher / downloader working, called manhunt.py Everything is explained on the github page, I doubt anyone will really want to use it since there's hardly any sort of error-handling and if everything isn't setup right it'll just crash, but I used it this morning to find some stuff from last night and it was really nice. I'll probably keep working on it in my spare time, but maybe someone can find a use for it right now.
