I guess I can't say yes 100%, but it's not even in the picture when I'm trying to watch just from my desktop with VLC. That's watching right from the NAS. And when the setup was at my friend's place, everything was downloading and working fine. edit: I was informed that you don't even need a script for SAB and Sonarr to work together so I disabled it. Right after a file downloaded it played in VLC. Then Sonarr did its own processing and renamed/moved the file, and now it no longer works in VLC. Maybe the problem is something related to transferring the file to the share on the NAS from the NUC. I have two switches on my network and the NUC and NAS are physically on different ones, so I'm going to put them on one and see what happens.

Is Astraweb a lot cheaper than competitors? I've always used Supernews and its been rock solid for the most part. The only completion issues I see is older stuff and my block accounts cover it nicely.

I added a Usenet.farm trial as a backup a week or two ago, and it saved a couple failed downloads that were in the ~500 day range for me yesterday. I'll probably add that into my block backups along with Block news and Tweaknews (which is empty, and I really ought to refill).

I can't dump Frugal as my primary. I haven't found anything yet that beats $40/yr for unlimited, even if the retention is low. Anything past my primary hits my Blocknews block first, then Usenet.farm and Tweaknews.

What's the best way to set up remote access to SAB/Sonarr/CP? I'd like to be able to add shows/etc and check SAB status from my iPhone, and my server is a Mac Mini. Would running a VPN server and some sort of dyndns client with a firewall blocking everything but VPN from the outside on the Mac be the best (i.e. most secure) route?

I would say either a vpn or reverse proxy. I run both as I have nzbget open to get remote pushes from indexers.

Should I be looking into getting in on another indexer in addition to my NZBS.org access? It doesn't seem like stuff gets posted on there very fast or at all recently. I know a friend found something on Dog when I couldn't on NZBS.

This is the correct thing to do. VIP on at least one and collect as many as you can. Keep the accounts active. If one falls, move to others. And you may as well load them into Sonarr/CP, use the API hits you have for free.

I've been using newsgroupdirect because of their super cheap 1TB block sales, but I'm getting a lot of failures recently - who do they use?. Also is nzb.cat any decent? Currently using nzb.su but it's been a bit iffy. e: v at that price for lifetime can't really complain, guess I'll use .su as a backup. ijyt fucked around with this message at 23:04 on Aug 3, 2016 |

Newsgroup Direct is doing an unlimited account for $5.50/month for tomorrow only. Some dudes on Reddit said they had their accounts deleted by NGD for using several TB a month but I'll try cancelling my Frugal for the extra .50 cents a month & 2700 more days of retention (300 Frugal, about 3k NDG). I figure if they cancel my NDG I'll just go back to Frugal. https://www.newsgroupdirect.com/blog/2016/08/12/unlimited-usenet-one-day-special/ 12AM Eastern tomorrow until 11:59PM tomorrow.

I also got the Astraweb email and so maybe looking at changing provider. That NGD offer looks good should I switch? Oh I'm also looking at Sonarr and Nzbget, am I right in thinking I'm boned if my QNAP NAS is an ARM based one? I don't think mono can run on ARM can it? EDIT: Oh what the hell, for the price I went the NGD route. What would be a good block account provider? I'm in EU if that makes a difference.

That doesn't say much about Tweaknews though, when I don't have any need for blocks with Highwinds and Sonarr/Couch Potato. Just seems an over complication.

You might as well cover all your bases, if they all end up getting used the same amount anyway it's basically the same cost over the same amount of time anyway. I collected one from each in the first place because I was testing them all on an incomplete file and ended up sticking with it. I did try a Highwinds unlimited again last year because it was cheaper on some sale and my Usenet-News (Readnews) and Astraweb blocks got absolutely destroyed. Same thing on a Supernews unlimited. As far as I'm aware Highwinds bought and "own" the Tweaknews backend but changed absolutely nothing with them.
