NewsGroupDirect used to be a reseller of a larger network with 3500+ days retention, but they split off and became an independent provider. As such their retention went to poo poo, purporting to be 1100 days but I find even that to be unreliable.. I find they're good for recent stuff, and they max out my 600 meg connection, but you'll eat up blocks like crazy if you try to get anything older than 1000 days.

Jesse Iceberg posted:That's awesome, thanks for that, that gives me a really good jumping off point to start converting. This here string: - --certificatesresolvers.leresolver.acme.dnsChallenge=true Tells Traefik and LetEncrypt how to validate that you actually own the Domain that you are added certs for. I use the Godaddy API to allow Traefik to login and check to verify I own it. You can also use a different check called "tls challenge" (documented here: https://docs.traefik.io/https/acme/) that tells Treafik to just resolve that hostname and test. This requires you to have 443 open from that hostname's IP and it has to get back to Traefik. I did not use that because I didn't initially have Oauth setup, and it would have required me to open my network to traffic before it was secure enough.

You really want more than one unlimited provider (with different back-ends) at the same priority level in your downloader for the best chance at completing all your downloads. Also add in one or two obscure provider's block accounts as a lower priority and you're golden! I've posted an older version of this before, but here's my current SAB server list and their usage (yes I know some of the providers have the same back-ends, but this represents some overlapping yearly accounts and such)  PS: Giganews sucks now, I'll be canceling that soon

That sucks but luckily they offer 3 month trial (or close to it with the first 3 months being sub half a dollar) so I might cancel it. Lot of time I want to download the original BD disk and those are mostly gone. Posted on the previous page but Newshosting seems (on paper) to have high retention. Does it match reality? Personally I don't download enough to warrant several providers at once so I'm looking for the best overall. Right now I only have 300 Mbps so it doesn't need to support anything higher than that.

NGD sucks when it comes down to it for anything oldish and in that case idk why anyone would bother when they can get old and new from the same provider elsewhere. if you dont want to or dont need to pay for multiple at once there is frugal usenet which has two providers so you have that benefit. it has what ngd used to have for server access plus usenetfarm access in one. only drawback is like 3000 days retention but newshosting has full retention but you may have dmca takedowns on the old posts just the same.

I think I am doing it correctly, if the SAB wiki is accurate: quote:SABnzbd will first try to get articles from the group of servers with the highest priority. Within the priority group, the first server with a free connection will be tried. When the first tried server doesn't have an article, then another server with the same priority is tried. So according to that, unlimited servers should be your highest priority and all the same, and block accounts/fill servers/non-unlimited should be lower priorities. SAB is always maxed out fully on all allowed connections on my 0-priority servers, no problem saturating a full gigabit down on any request

You have 5 that are set to priority 0, but that doesn't tell it which one of those 5 to use first. I don't think they will do it based on the literal order you have either, so you'll likely have a race condition here (no idea how it determines which one of those 5 it will use first, but I suspect Giganews is definitely not first). The only way to know for sure if Giganews isn't working for you is to leave it at P0, the other unlimited ones at P1, then your blocks at P2.

I'll set them all as different priorities for a month and see what changes, sounds sciencey Edit: The immediate problem is that it only downloads from the server with the highest priority, so if that can't saturate your connection it will be pretty slow. The equal priority race condition is a lot faster since it downloads from all 0-priority servers at once, and I don't think it would lose any articles since it goes down the line looking for any missing ones (eventually hitting the block account) pzy fucked around with this message at 21:30 on Feb 20, 2020 |

There's no race condition, it'll just balance the connections across different servers while downloading. The ordering displayed within a priority is just alphabetic.

If you just set 1080p to anything under 18gb you'll never get a remux You just have to be careful because I find that multi language dts-ma rips can still be quite large. Edit: have you checked your quality profiles? The default has 1080p cutoff at bluray-1080 but allows remux 1080p norp fucked around with this message at 13:24 on Feb 21, 2020 |

I've been attempting to upgrade the quality on a lot of movies I downloaded many years ago. A pretty large percentage of them are DMCA'ed to hell nowadays and I won't be able to get them in a higher quality from usenet. (I got accounts across all the backbones to make this as painless as possible) I always knew this was a possibility which is why I don't delete after watching. Another possibility is laws and enforcement changes and the usenet gravy train goes away.

What's the point of Remuxes? I just can't seem to understand why I'd want a 45GB rip of a 1080p movie, as previous poster suggested. 10GB BluRay rips seems to be just fine? Why are they so massive? Is it just higher quality than BR somehow?

Yeah I've got a 75" 4K TV and a 55" 1080P, but since my old-rear end Plex PC chokes on 4K content, I try to stick with 1080P rips. I did sign up for a month of Plex Pass to see if the hardware transcoding helps at all (Ivy Bridge), but haven't had a chance to check it out yet. I may have to just bite the bullet and upgrade my Plex server PC. Or upgrade the guts of my unraid machine and learn all the docker crap.

Yes, basically the same thing as ripping (or downloading) music in lossless or MP3/AAC, although a remux is still technically in a lossy codec since lossless video codecs would be massive. You will very likely be unable to tell the difference, but it eliminates the chances that the person encoding the 10GB file made some poor encoding choices, etc.
