My nzb.su account got wacked. SB Claims the following: Authentication error: Your API key for NZB.su is incorrect, check your config. And my saved password/username doesn't work, nor the email address. Shame! So I assume it's not just you.

tonic posted:Yes? My understanding was I still have X days (number in my profile) where the API is still active. It doesn't appear to be functioning currently though. I pay for all of my usenet and block accounts with bitcoins now. I only minded getting everything setup with a separate bank account, that was a pain.

Ganondork posted:Astraweb was really unreliable for me, lots of connection issues. I signed up for a usenet.farm block account, which has been a great replacement. Their retention isn't close to what Astraweb has, but at least the connections are reliable. I get the worst speeds from them during the day (west coast), it's often like 200-300k/s. At night I'll hit 4-5MB/s though. I imagine it's a 'across the ocean' problem for me though. Not complaining, as their service is pretty cheap and all that.

PitViper posted: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've got them as a primary and love em, speeds could be better though (I haven't sat down and tried to determine if the culprit was my NAS or service).

YouTuber posted:Has anyone tried doing a multi-user setup with Usenet? I'd like to share this with close friends. I could use a FTP setup to handle them download to their box but I'm more worried about feeding NZB into Sabnzbd. Would just using API handle this? I don't see any issue with this. Sort of like UaaS, goofy but works. I might suggest you run some sort of secure FTP and don't use the default port (many ISPs will get fussy with you for running that).

KingKapalone posted:Anyone with gigabit want to share their provider and their speeds? I'm only using 10 of my 20 astraweb connections right now so should probably open it all up first, but max I've seen on this new connection is about 12MB/s. Usually only around 6MB/s though. I've got gbit and just don't care. I use usenet.farm because I like them. On my little risc powered NAS I get ~6MB/s.

KingKapalone posted:What's the point of having gigabit then? Don't need the speed for anything else. For me, it's the same price as cable. I started out at it costing uhh, $65 and I think they bumped it to $69. It's symmetrical. You ever download a game from steam at 80+ MB/s? It's really nice hahah. And yea, just like lots of other people have said, it's not all about high speed on usenet. Having 10ms ping to game servers and high upload speeds are nice. I don't notice my internet being slow while I'm downloading from usenet either, in fact I harder ever notice even a slight blimp in my internet speeds and I'm quite sensitive to it.

porksmash posted:I'm assuming almost zero ISPs will give you symmetrical bandwidth. Yep, doesn't it screw with their peering agreements when users start uploading too much content? Also, please correct me on this but cable networks have been switching to digitial networks in the sense that their analog content (those things that the above poster talked about taking a full 8Mhz of spectrum) have largely been replaced by a multicast streams to the set top box that is then decoded. At least that's how it worked at the ISP I worked at years and years ago.

I've been using usenet.farm for a little over 2 years, I've got 2TB of downloads on a block account and over the course of the 2 years, I've spent roughly $90. That works out to about $3/month, plus the 2TB I have left will last me 5 months. So it's a bit more like $2.50/month. I basically only buy blocks during their sales, so even the block costs are reduced. I would honestly never go back to a monthly subscription at this point.

Father Jack posted:What kind of speed should I expect from Supernews? Just as an example, on gbit with a 20 core Xeon processor, I bump the number of connections up to the max available. Basically as you up the number of connections you're just attempting to find a bottleneck. Be it your ISP, disk, CPU or whatever. So usenet.farm lets me pump that up to 50 connections and I max out at around 65-75MB/s most of the time. On a little ARM processor I was CPU bound and would cap out at around 5-6MB/s, but I played around extensively with SSL options to get there.

wolrah posted:Erm, am I missing something here? PraxxisParadoX posted:Those don't actually do anything when enabled, https://github.com/Radarr/Radarr/issues/121 Yea, so it is an option but it doesn't work. I use local only metadata with kodi. Every other program supports doing this themselves except radarr. Sickbeard did it, CP does it, Sonarr does it but radarr does not. Decairn posted:Does the metadata scrape have to be automated? I used to use tiny media manager for that, I imagine you could put in a script hook to call it direct too in the Radar post-process. Once I moved to Plex and realized it takes care of metadata, I stopped using it though. I mean, as it stands today I have everything else automated. I looked at something called "filebot" once to solve this but eh.. I'll just keep using CP because it already works and is already doing it.

Boris Galerkin posted:Usenet.farm has 30% off with VAL2018. Usenet.farm is a hybrid. They have their own storage which has (iirc) a short retention of under or around 1 month. After their retention they use one of the large providers (I think giganews?) as a backend. With that said, I find them to be the best primary account with blocknews being my #2. Between those two I never hit my 3rd provider (astra). Edit: Also, blocknews is doing a sale: https://billing.blocknews.net/signup/cryptosale They took doge coins as a payment... I'm just amazed that worked.

Incessant Excess posted:Is Supernews still a recommended provider? I've been with them for ages and am wondering if there's anything better/cheaper around. I run block accounts from usenet.farm and average around $2/month (when it's all said and done). It depends on a bunch of things, like how much do you download in a month? Finding block specials is pretty good overall I've found. I also use a few backup block providers that every few years I'll throw a few dollars at. YMMV.

I only use blocks now, it's worth taking the time to compare how much data you'll need. My net cost for usenet.farm is roughly $2/month, maybe even a little less. I download roughly 84gigs a month from them. Edit: I just did the math, I've spent roughly $1.83/month on usenet since 2015 with usenet.farm ILikeVoltron fucked around with this message at 04:38 on Jul 13, 2019 |

Henrik Zetterberg posted:New to Usenet. At least since 1994 or so when I posted about paintball. Just going to point out here, unless you've got some pretty high download needs you'll likely do better with a block account in terms of cost. 80% of the shows I watch come from usenet and I pay roughly $2/month on average for my block accounts.

With a docker compose file I can blow away the entire docker directory and relaunch it and within a minute have all of my services up and running. Just use static full paths to all config file dirs/media/etc and boom, as long as the filesystems are mounted just launch it.

Incessant Excess posted:How long does unpacking a download take for you guys? I've noticed that on my setup (Synology DS918+, SABNZBD docker container), the unpacking of a 30gb remux can take 20+ minutes, longer than the download itself. Is that normal? Intel Celeron J3455 Quad-core 1.5 GHz, yeah that's going to be pretty slow to unpack. Downloading only needs to do a yenc -> binary data conversion if there's no par used on a single file. If you have to par the file, then it's going to be whatever software raid par2 uses (XOR's plus uhh, some other stuff) so slow to read all the data it needs to then turn it into a rar file. Personally I run a xeon 10 core processor for my usenet downloader and put the unfinished downloads on a M2 4 channel NVME ssd. Then after unpacking its moved to the spinning disk zfs hosted filesystem. This way I get to use the NVME for the processing and read/write heavy parts but not for the long term storage. Put simply, yes UNRAR is going to be more CPU expensive than YENC (by a long shot), and this is also the 3rd time you're writting this to disk, so it's going to be a memory heavy process as well, which is why I have 128 gigs of ram in that system.

The way I handle nzbget paths is to have the `intermediate files.` on a scratch ssd, along with temp files, this way I can keep the IO bound platter drives in my server segregated from the IO the downloads use. I also sort downloads and a few other options that the thread has already discussed
