I used to use newshosting on highwinds for years and never had any major problems. Thanks. E: ah both are highwinds, nevermind. I looked at Free Usenet or something yesterday that claim to use multiple backends. Might grab some Gbs with them and see if they're any good. I mainly automate anyway so dmca not a huge deal for me generally. EL BROMANCE fucked around with this message at 20:55 on Jul 16, 2017 |

I bought 1000TB as backup and the process was a lil scary as it didn't actually show me the price until after I finished the purchase, coupon worked just fine tho.

Incessant Excess posted:Some people on reddit say they aren't great but for that price it's hard to argue I suppose. Yeah a few years ago they had a  hard drive failure and lost a bunch of heavy users like me and they claimed they couldn't restore users to their old discounted rates. I still signed back up after that because I'm cheap and they're fast. Now I'm on a $45/year plan still do over 1 TB monthly without a problem.Some people on reddit said they've been throttled for downloading too much, but I've only had that happen with other Highwinds resellers like MaximumUsenet.

Of course this would pop up two days after I pay my last NewsDemon bill, but oh well. I can double pay one month to save $2 a month forever (until they "lose" my account).

I have a NewsDemon monthly account already, any way I can take advantage of this? Do I need to create a new account? Edit: whatever, just made a new account under another email. FCKGW fucked around with this message at 21:34 on Jul 17, 2017 |

I signed up for the second account first, then canceled my first account, and noticed in the cancellation email that it said paypal users have to cancel their recurring payment through paypal. I did that, and now I'm not sure if it only canceled the original recurring payments, or all recurring payments. Either way, I set up a temporary credit card as a backup just in case.

I uh... managed to delete my entire TV collection of 10+ years while setting up manually downloaded season packs from Jackett/Transmission to auto-import into Sonarr. Not really sure how it happened, but it had something to do with messing with the Drone Import settings. Anyway, just make sure you're careful and make snapshots before you gently caress around with stuff.

Vykk.Draygo posted:If it drone imported them, wouldn't it have to dump them out somewhere? Well, the drone import settings in Sonarr say specifically that it may result in data loss if you use the same name for multiple folders. I didn't do that, but it still seems to have overwritten all of my /TV/* folder with a single series that I was trying to import automatically.

If the data hasn't been overwritten by something else, you can probably recover a good chunk of it. Hate it when stuff like that happens though, insanely frustrating.

EL BROMANCE posted:If the data hasn't been overwritten by something else, you can probably recover a good chunk of it. Hate it when stuff like that happens though, insanely frustrating. I didn't have snapshots set up correctly to recover it. Now I have each of my data containing folders set up as separate datasets, so I can snapshot them individually. Do you have an idea of how I'd recover "deleted" files on FreeNAS? From what I can tell, there's really no way without snapshots. e: There's still a significant amount of space being taken up on my drives, which is ostensibly from the "deleted" shows. Of course, I can't find them.

Ah, FreeNAS Is out of my range of knowledge... try asking in the Packrats thread, you won't be the first person to lose a ton of data in FreeNAS so hopefully they can point you in the right direction.

I am a complete noob in regards to Usenet. Now that I have disposable income of my own, I'm thinking about switching over to Usenet from torrent. I just want to know, is Usenet better than torrent? What benefits does it have over the latter?

Both Radarr and Sonarr are set up for both protocols for me.

Pros: Don't have to share back Tons of overlap between what's available Speeds that will generally saturate your line Nearly 10 years of archiving for lots of groups Automated tools tend to work best with Usenet, with Torrents as failover Cons: Have to pay monthly rate for provider/indexer (depending on your service) Automated tools generally needed before files are DMCAd these days (depending on what company owns rights) Not so hot for music or other things dedicated trackers have Most people mix both worlds and have access to pretty much everything they want.

Speaking of. Anyone have a way for new movies to show up in radar that's same? I'd like to just add a RSS feed of new releases, have it show up on the calendar and then monitor what I want it to snatch. Instead I added the IMDb new releases RSS feed and occasionally have to sort all movies by date add to monitor poo poo.

That's kind of built in now when you go to add a movie you have Popular, Recommended, and Upcoming sections. No calendar stuff tho.

No, unless you have some desire to make things more complicated for no reason. Edit for more content: If you were running a server, it might be worth it. Just stuffing something inside Docker for the sake of using Docker is not worth it. porksmash fucked around with this message at 16:22 on Jul 20, 2017 |

And I have a compelling (albeit anecdotal) reason NOT to: I tried to do exactly this, but docker-for-windows kept being unable to share my local disks as volumes into the docker images. This meant that every time I restarted any of the services I lost their configs and had to set them up all over again. Oh, and stuff that was downloaded never ended up in my storage folders, and was lost forever. That was a problem too.

Is there a way to do preferred words for releases in Sonarr? The best option I've found for backfilling old releases is to temporarily add the tag "obfuscated" to a series (dramatically increases chance download succeeds), but for new releases, I don't need to wait for an obfuscated release (so I'll remove the tag once fully backfilled). It would be nice if there was a way to make "obfuscated" a preferred, but not required, word. And with all these obfuscated/scrambled releases and the supposed relationships between posters and indexers, are there now "premiere" indexers?

How does Sonarr handle missed episodes? I've been away for a week and a few things have aired while i've been out. They're listed in the wanted tab but don't appear to be doing anything and the only message is 'Epsiode missing from disk'.

Kin posted:How does Sonarr handle missed episodes? It does it automatically generally but you can do a manual or automatic search. Though if something got popped from a DMCA takedown, it might not be available and you'll have to find another source or have a backup newsgroup service on a different provider (not reseller) separate from what you're currently using.

Afaik there is this option? It's for preferring releases from select groups, but you could put obfuscated in there and it would serve the same purpose.
