I don't know much about programming, but since this is in github, couldn't you fork it to handle all your anime stuff or even submit a changelist if it's such a trivial fix? I don't think the developer is doing this for much money (donations?).

I'm having a bit of an issue with Sonarr. I'm running v3 and have setup my release profile to automatically upgrade from a HDTV release to say a Hulu release when it becomes available. Problem is that the episodes download, but never get moved to replace the lower quality version.

I can manually import the grabbed files, but it shows that the release was rejected because it has the same file size as the existing file. But if Sonarr has already deleted the original, why wouldn't it manually move it over? The only thing I can think of is that it is waiting some length of time to actually process the file. But shouldn't it be a semi-short amount of time between the file being unpacked to it being moved and marked as completed?

E: eh got DNC confused with someone else so swiped harder than I would have. Sonarr isn’t ideal for anime and seeing that’s a big part of what you’re into I would look into finding people who’ll fork it so it does it, as for TV it works pretty great and the fact it has any anime working elements should be seen as a bonus.

Ask me about personal watercraft.
I got an email from Astraweb today, looks like they figured out their billing issues so the free ride is over. Only have 5 days to figure something out, their offer is $6 per month, but the only payment options are credit card (which I don't have) or bitcoin (ugh) for a year at a time. Is that the best price I'm going to see for unlimited at the moment?

Nzbget says I downloaded 2.4 TB in 2018, and I'm due to hit at that for this year as well, which probably counts block plans out, unless there's any particularly good deals going on.

It works pretty great with most animu if you set the categories properly. Not nearly as flawlessly as thexem tracked US TV shows, but well enough to set it up and see what happens.

I bought it a while back for 75 and didn't get much out of it. The only thing I used was mobile sync but that was like 2-3 times. At the least you're supporting the dev work (though with that mindset you might as well just donate money to them).

The Plex pass deals were not great IMO..

Can't imagine how a program could search for "Season 2" in a string and find it. That's just too advanced! The name is a mess, but it still has the information necessary to ID it. Oh no it's "weeb poo poo" clearly the users of usenet/sonarr etc probably have no interest in that! You do realize anime is pretty popular? Probably very heavily so with the people who use usenet? (maybe not as torrents/streaming is general the way to go) Like I get it hating anime is cool and all but really it's just loving tiresome. Oh you hate live action films? Oh you hate books? Here's a secret the majority of most of anything is bad. So saying anime is bad, while that's true it's not really anything special in that regards.

Also and more importantly it identifies the episodes right just the season is wrong but when I fix the season it blanks out the episodes. That's just poo poo, plain and simple.

If it's such an easy fix then why are you wasting time whining on an unrelated online forum instead of just adding the regex that will parse this?

I think a lot of the frustration comes from the constant "lol anime" reactions rather than much else. Anime community file names are absolutely atrocious. That being said, something like "Season 2" should be a no brainer for a program like Sonarr. I know 0 about regex and even if I did and tried to fix it, Sonarr would fail on other fronts for the same issue. Xem only does so much when the actual failing is how Sonarr is processing a filename. :shrug: I can see both sides of it and it's a mess.

That's suspiciously cheap. UsenetPrime is a UsenetExpress reseller (same company as NGD and NewsDemon) so I'm curious what the retention is.

Also Reddit seems to think UsenetPrime is pretty sketchy https://www.reddit.com/r/usenet/comments/c0cjsc/introducing_usenetprime_new_reseller_grand_opening/

I don't disagree. I had to prompt support for the account info once I signed up, but they were pretty quick about getting it to me. Regardless I was running into more failed grabs than successful for a while and this is going strong so far. Worst case scenario I'll switch to another unlimited somewhere else if this doesn't pan out

It's not quite that genre. It was an action film released in the states about 20 years ago. I have no idea why they decided to hardcode the subs, but it's pretty difficult to watch. I ended up grabbing another version of it.

Yeah going with an unlimited Highwinds provider and blocks from other backbones is a good strategy. Highwinds providers have the longest retention and is usually the cheapest. If you're extremely cheap like me you can wait for the other Highwinds deals and you might save a few bucks. If you really want to go hog wild you can get blocks from usenet.farm and UsenetExpress when they go on sale.

Since you're completely new to this you should know that you'll need an indexer or two. Things that get posted to usenet with normal, readable names will get taken down quickly. Posts on some of the better indexers are obfuscated and are much more difficult to take down. A couple of the better ones that are always open for registration are https://nzbfinder.ws/register and https://nzbgeek.info/member.php?action=register. You can sign up for free and see if they have the stuff you want before paying for VIP.

https://drunkenslug.com/register is another good one that's offering 18 months of VIP for 10 Euros, but registration is currently closed.

If you can't get a deal straight from Newshosting or UsenetServer I would go with NewsDemon for a Highwinds reseller. They did screw over heavy downloaders in the past (I was one of them) and "accidentally" lost our account information, but the current owner seems like a good guy and posts on the usenet subreddit a lot. They do have an artificial limit on downloads (it's something nuts like 60 TB a month) but if you happen to hit that you just have to contact support to have it reset. They say they have that limit to stop people from buying a cheap unlimited account and reselling it on their own service. I guess that's as close as you can get to truly unlimited.

For NZBfinder they sell tiers based on 5k, 10k API hits etc.

That's a daily limit so you'd certainly be fine with 5k. If you're a really light user you might be able to get away with just using the 25 daily hits and 5 downloads you get with a free account. I can't imagine ever using 10,000 API hits per day.

How is Highwinds these days vs Giganews? I've been with Supernews (Giganews) for like 10 years but $30 per year vs $99 is pretty tempting to switch. I have both a Usenet.Farm block and Blocknews backup so I figure I will probably be fine.

I guess maybe I should just wait a few days and see what NewsDemon does too.
