I kind of hate to say it, but Reddit is a good place to start. Give me a moment and I can bring up a post that has pretty much all the providers.

It's interesting. You need a provider. Sometimes an indexer can help. I don't think indexers are totally necessary, but they help find content. and then you need a client to grab whatever topics are subscribed to.

What client are you using? Are you using a search in the client to get around having an indexer?

Do you trust the SSL and logs or do you VPN everything?

Reading more about Usenet, apparently SSL is sufficient, but being the paranoid bastard that I am, I still run shit through VPN.

The way I read it is this. If you trust the services aren't IP logging, the SSL isn't getting hacked by any TLAs. If you don't trust them VPN keeps them from doxxing your IP.

Right, I don't trust most companies further than I can spit, so if I give myself a little bit of extra protection and also happen to avoid DMCA smacks, then...yeah. worth it.

Nzbgeek, vipernews, and sabnzbd. Just completed my first ever usenet DL. Something I wanted but couldn't find on torrent too.

Thank you again for your help and answering questions.
