What’s a newsgroup?

Usenet servers, joining a newsgroup isn't free (it is cheap tho) but the downloads are super fast and the selection is great. Torrents seem to be better for music. It's a fun rabbit hole to go down. Works great with the arr's.

Interesting. How do I find out about them?

a general search for something like "newsgroups .nzbs" should get you on the right track. I'm no expert on the topic, like not even close. Definitely not as straight forward as torrents. It may be more trouble than you want to get into but its cool that usenet and newsgroups are still around.

Thanks for the info! Are you familiar with the arr suite?

yeah, prowlarr will search across media types, radarr for movies, sonarr for tv, readarr for ebooks, and lidarr for music.

I need to read about this
