I had a paid account before they went to a subscription model, but I'm not a VIP now. That said, I haven't noticed anything being different, or any announcements about changes to accounts. Maybe email them about it?

Dongattack posted:So what's the deal with dognzb now? It's back up for me. In their notice, they said that the server's SSD slowly failed. Database re-indexes started taking hours to complete, then disk writes started to fail, and then it started to report incorrect disk space before finally just dying forever. They have replaced the server hardware and everything seems to be working fine for me.

Methylethylaldehyde posted:Different indexers put anime in different groupings. 5070 is most common, but on some you end up with like 4010 and others. Go to the indexer and click on each anime category/subcategory and look at the URL to see what category it's in, then add those to the sonarr config. I'll have to do this and see if the automated stuff grabs now.

Looking at the changelog of an entry for reference and with a bit of trial and error in drafting, it shouldn't be prohibitively difficult. If you don't already have an account you might be better off just requesting help in their IRC channel.

I just let thexem exist without thinking about it too much, because yeah - definitely a head scratcher. I noticed something didn’t work once so I told a staffer and they sorted it. It’s good to know people out there actively fight against the tyranny of TVDb mods.

What even is The XEM? The homepage just says shows, but the list seems like all anime and animated shows? Is it supposed to be TheTVDB for anime but also includes non japanese stuff? edit: oh its not even that much, it just keeps track of numbering? I guess that would make sense why its all animated since regular stuff has simple numbering.

Yeah it basically fixes the differences between TVDBs ‘official’ numbering they pull out of thin air, and the numbering system that everyone else uses.

Open registration on an indexer right now - https://drunkenslug.com/register Couldn’t tell you anything about it as only signed up myself today. At least you can do paid options without stupid crypto tho, the main thing stopping me from subbing to OMG and making that my primary.

EL BROMANCE posted:Open registration on an indexer right now - https://drunkenslug.com/register An hour after I sent them a year's membership payment through PayPal, a fraudulent charge for 51.75 GBP (over $67 USD) went through my account for a web site called "startselect", which apparently sells gift cards and games and poo poo. I can't say for certain that the two events are directly related, but that's an awfully big coincidence. I've had that account since Paypal was brand new and never once have I had any fraudulent activity on it before today. Caveat Emptor.

I can't imagine they *wouldn't*... but I'm no expert. My PP password is a string of computer-generated gibberish that even I don't know without my password manager handy, so I doubt that was the attack vector. After putting in disputes with both Paypal and my bank, I took a chance and emailed customer support at "startselect" to let them know about the fraud. They got back to me just now (very quickly) and said that they've not only blocked my information from being used on their site anymore, but they're also going to refund me directly within 3 business days. That was a little unexpected, but I imagine they probably see this a lot. Anywho - it'll work out. I just wish I could pinpoint whether it's actually related to drunkenslug or not... I'd like to think not, it seems like a pretty well curated site that wouldn't try to pull that kind of thing, but I guess you never really know who's on the other end of the line.

Doesn't surprise me. Not exactly the most scrupulous of industries that we are dealing with. I've had providers and indexers "conveniently" forget that I've paid them in the past.

Yeah, that’s text retention though. Binaries says ‘30 to 70+’. Like the plus could be 3,000 days, but that’s an awfully funny way to write it.

For a block account I use as a backup server against my main 3 dollarish a month unlimited account, it works for grabbing new releases that might have gotten DMCA’d.

I did a little more testing and I'm not totally sure what's going on. I tried a thing that's 100 days old: NewsDemon (Omicron/Highwinds): ok XS Usenet (Abavia): ok Usenet.Farm: not found UsenetExpress: not found The last two are supposed to use Abavia for stuff outside their local retention. I don't know how it all works, but maybe Abavia's having trouble with their resellers.

Is there a major difference between indexers? I'm a member of both Nzbcat and nzbs.org--is there any significant benefit to seeking out additional indexers? Is it like private trackers, where there may be things that I can't find elsewhere, or is everyone basically just scraping the same groups with more stability/guaranteed uptime/etc.?

Register with as many as you can, but only pay for one at a time, unless you're dumb like me and have half a dozen VIP accounts with another half dozen waiting to be paid. And, currently at least, no blocks or monthly access.

Some are better than others I will say, but generally I say one paid big one (typically yearly) followed by as many lifetime accounts as you're willing to gamble with.

I've been having a hard time lately with large (40gb+) files that download, par check fine, but then fail on extraction. No comments or nukes on the indexer, so I'm thinking its not a bad file? Seems real weird. For the next couple I'm just gonna have SAB download everything and do the check/extraction myself, and see if there's any difference. Anyone run across this?

Yeah, i get that too very regularly when Sonar pulls one file that is a entire season of a show for instance. Sonarr starts the download without problems, SABnzbd downloads without errors, but then the extraction fails.

It's weird because I have one unlimited server setup at priority 0, and two block accounts set at priority 1, but SAB doesn't seem to be trying the block accounts at all. If a nzb had damaged PAR files wouldn't it try to re-download them on a different server?

I had a lot of these similar issues, but I switched to nzbget a few weeks ago and now I have none. I think there's something wrong with the server priority system in sab.
