Thauros posted:Haven't used Usenet since the '90s and this thread made me curious. Signed up for a 10 gb block account, got SABnzbd and it seems to be working pretty well. Most people use the google groups interface now and with that much of the active discussions are in the company specific groups/branches since GG lets you create groups easier.

Roving Reporter posted:Is there any reason to use nzb.su if you already have accounts at nzbs.org and nzbmatrix? Or am I not missing out on much? nzbs.org and nzb.su are running the same code, just with different themes and some slightly different regexes. So not really, but if you have an account there's no reason not to toss it into SickBeard.

kalibar posted:Are most of you guys using nettops just running XBMC as its own OS? XBMC has a youtube plugin and quite possibly hulu and nba ones, I havn't checked. Nam Taf posted:It's really weirdly amusing that this attitude is throughout the US (and that most people haven't heard of it) cause in Australia this is offered by almost every ISP. It's called a Naked DSL plan here, in that you don't have a phone line bundled with it. ISPs tend to offer it at $10 more per month than the bundled offering, but obviously you then don't pay the $30/month for phone line rental to bundle. Others let you bundle it with VOIP for less than a dedicated phone line. Most havn't heard of it because it was a condition of the SBC & AT&T merger a couple years ago that at&t allow dry loops in all regions. So most people couldn't even get it until recently.

Factor Mystic posted:Well... Yes, sabnzbd parses the general structure correctly, but the nzbs.org nzb's are missing the episode name, which my tv processing setup in sabnzbd uses... apparently causing the file to not be renamed. And even if it was, it'd still be missing the episode name. Why aren't you using SickBeard?

Just set a custom quality of hd first and sd-dvd to archive. That way it'll grab the HDTV cap then delete it when the DVD becomes available.

Uuudar posted:Does Sickbeard do this automatically or do I need to enable it? Also, will it rescan my folders at a future date and replace with higher quality if they become available automatically? It depends on the quality settings and yes, it'll automatically upgrade any show you have added when it finds a better quality copy.

io_burn posted:I guess I don't fully understand all the politics behind Newzbin, but why is it that they're getting cracked down on so hard while all the other usenet indexing sites just keep on truckin'? What vital mistake did they make to make them legally vulnerable that the other sites (apparently) didn't do? Now that there are basically better indexes out there, it doesn't make much sense why legal types continue to focus on Newzbin. They're based in the UK.

io_burn posted:Alright so everything that failed from SuperNews downloaded without issue via Giganews. This is so frustrating, as the best part about SickBeard, CouchPotato, and Sabnzbd is the "set it and forget it" nature of things. I'd love to cheap out with SuperNews, but holy poo poo is it irritating to have missing articles gumming up the works. I almost think that's worth just paying the premium for Giganews if they're the kings of retention and completion. That's really weird since they're the same servers. I wonder if your route to supernews or their connection went flakey during that time.

Corbet posted:That's pretty funny considering I went and checked out nzbmatrix (I've only ever used nzb.su, I wish I could get an account at nzbds.org) and managed to find some obscure things I've been trying to find for months to no avail. NZBMatrix relies on user submissions like Newzbin, this means it'll get stuff the automated scrapers won't because it's named ASLSJAGLKASGH.ARJ and it's actually whatever it is you're looking for.

Jarl posted:There is a few things that I don't find very clear about usenet. You do not understand correctly. Each of the main Usenet providers mirror each other's servers so that when you post to your provider, it shows up on the other servers. Resellers are the companies that don't personally own the servers and just sell access. quote:Indexers confuse me. It would make sense if it was a part of every usenet server (i.e. indexing itself). Instead other services indexes the content on other usenet servers. Apparently one has to make sure that the usenet server one employ is indexed by ones indexer. I must assume it is easy to make it clear which usenet servers' results that are of interests. Since the Usenet providers all mirror each other, it doesn't matter which they use, as long as they're using a decent one. Indexers work the same way as manually browsing Usenet, just a lot faster since it only cares about the headers. quote:Also, once ASCII was 7-bit and some people made it possible to encode 8-bit binary files into 7-bit ASCII (among other things necessary for the distribution of large binary files over usenet). Since ASCII is now 8-bit, have they modified this or remains it the same for the single reason that poo poo cannot be undone. - Just trying to getting a feel for if usenet is something that through and through falls into that trap. Usenet is text only so all binary posts have to be encoded into text, the old way was uuenc and was a 3:4 conversion, the new way is with yenc and is almost a 1:1 conversion. You will never have to worry about this.

EC posted:This is probably not even remotely possible, but I figured I'd toss it out here anyway. Is there a way to make SAB download specific files? Say you have a multi-set nzb that contains a bunch of ISOs, but you want to download a specific ISO first. Is there a way to do this manually or automatically? Click the queue entry and rearrange the files. It won't post process until they're all done so next time don't use combined nzbs.

I never got that impression from Newzbin, so if Newzbin does the same exact stuff and doesn't suck, I'd rather pay for it. nzb.su isn't poorly run at all, infact it's the same code that runs nzbs.org, just with a not as nice theme.

io_burn posted:This might be a long shot, but are any of you guys in the SoCal area with Time Warner? I know they've got no public bandwidth cap, but I was fiddling around with Sickbeard and using the "custom" quality thing and inadvertently downloaded nearly a terabyte of 1080p rips. I don't keep that close of an eye on it since it's all so automatic and only noticed because everything was throwing up errors about disk space. Time Warner doesn't care about a terrabyte in a month. I've done that and others in the channel have and they've never complained.

Cwapface posted:Is there a logical reason why SABnzb is disinclined to download more than one thing at once? If I have two downloads going, it ignores the second one to be added until it's finished the first. If I set them both to "force" it does them both at once, but it still prioritises whichever was added first. I've looked though the config options, but I can't see what might be causing this, or how to fix it. Because then you'd be downloading both items at half your speed.

SlipperyNipple posted:ISPs can not legally monitor or view what you are downloading anyways, so it would not hold up in court, so the paranoia over ssl or no ssl is a little unfounded. If you have to use it because of throttling so be it but i dont think it is worth it beyond that. Usenet veterans got along without SSL for years without problems. Sure they can. In the US and probably in most other countries as well.

That isnt to say that deep in the network at some ISP some techy nerds arent looking at everything you do without the ISP as a company knowing, but they can not say we saw you looking at CP last night we are sending the cops after you. Simple, they don't have common carrier status. They're a data service which is a new class that lets them have cake and eat it. KennyG posted:More importantly, they actually have an active incentive not to inspect your traffic. Incorrect.
