  • First rule of Usenet: You don’t talk (post?) about Usenet :|

    • +1

      I thought the first rule was “under 40s need not apply”?

      • Think that's more like the fourth or fifth rule

    • Lawyers for the big media companies file DMCA/NTD takedowns almost immediately when popular content is posted. Keeping Usenet a 'secret' does nothing - except maybe undermining the viability of the few providers left.

      • and yet i consistently acquire stuff that's 1-5 yrs old. go figure!

        keeping it under the radar (or is that sonarr?), and slightly complicated means it's a lower priority target.

        • Keyword there was 'popular'. Try any recently released movie or TV show and it's gone within a couple of days.

          Usenet providers advertise their services all over the internet, US legislation has been aimed at destroying it, court cases have been decided over it, and there are huge data centres in multiple jurisdictions providing the backbone for it. You're right though - one person talking about it on a small Australian website is going to be its downfall.

          • @[Deactivated]: you're right, The Simpsons, South Park, One Upon A Time, Tiger King, Walking Dead, This Is It, aren't popular. Neither is Tenant, The Croods, Frozen 2, Lego Movie 2, Soul, Sing.

            you're right too about the small Australian website. it's not like it has "~3.3 million unique visitors / 50 million page views a month." or anything

            sincerest apologies

            • @M00Cow: What's your point? Try, for example, downloading an episode of The Walking Dead from a couple of weeks ago. Most of the first posts will have been taken down.

              If you actually think DMCA/NTD requests don't happen, then I don't know what to say. Why do you think identical files are reuploaded?

              you're right too about the small Australian website. it's not like it has "~3.3 million unique visitors / 50 million page views a month." or anything

              Which is small relative to a lot of other sites.

                Why do you think identical files are reuploaded?

                so the problem is?

                Lent almost over, you can take your happy pill again on Sunday.

                • @M00Cow: That media companies are already well aware of Usenet and trying to stop people talking about it is pointless? You would've known that had you actually read my posts.

                  • @[Deactivated]: oh I have been reading with great enjoyment thank you.

                    Whilst usenet makes up a small amount of piracy, due to being more difficult - expensive then other methods to source material and also difficult to take stuff down in the long term, it flies relatively under the radar. It's like growing dope around Nimbin. They do the occasional big publicised enforcement and some mopping up of blatant transgressions, but in the whole it's left a alone. in fact I find that on TV shows, they often just take down a few episodes in the middle, which as you pointed out make their way back up again eventually.

                    But if it becomes as easy & as popular as torrents or popcorn tv, then they'll focus a lot more.on their cease & desist efforts.. Just like when using VPN/SmartDNS became wildly popular for watching Netflix, the copyright holders demanded Netflix sort it out. Which they were very successful at. Now the efforts have settled down since the numbers are vastly lower, so it's possible to do that again and will be until it's rediscovered by the masses.

                    • @M00Cow:

                      So not because someone posts a deal on an obscure Austalian website. Glad you agree.

              • @[Deactivated]: Using automation sonarr/radarr there is just about nothing I can't grab. TWD never had an issue, ever. You can further reduce the risk of missing articles by using a cheap primary and blocks on different backbones. I have Eweka (NTD) as my main backbone and backup blocks from UsenetExpress (DCMA), Usenet Farm (NTD) and Vipernews (NTD). DMCA takedown is also much faster then NTD. I rarely have to use my blocks.

  • Any indexer suggestions?

    • drunkenslug, nzbgeek, nzbcat

      • Have any spare invites for nzbcat by any chance?

        • Don't bother with Cat. DS > Geek (and both) far greater than Cat. If you really want an invite pm me

      • +1

        I would also add the free sickbeard to these suggestions. Still works but can't manually search http://lolo.sickbeard.com

        I use lifetime indexers althub, NZBCat, NZBGeek, SimplyNZBs (have disabled as so slow and timesout)

        I use free indexers Sickbeard, NZBFinder, NZBindexer.in

        I pay yearly for Drunken Slug.

        If I had to recommend 2 paid indexers it would be Drunkenslug and NZBGeek. Sickbeard is the best free one but only works for tv series and need to use with programs like sonarr and radarr.

  • This deal deserves more love. A reseller of UsenetExpress which is a an independent Tier 1 provider. Never used it as a primary but do have it as a backup block. I'm going to wait until Black Friday before topping up. I was fortunate to get a UE opening sale of $2USD for 1TB in Nov 2018
