They caught up to a lot of people who went years without being billed after they became just another Highwinds reseller earlier this year. I think I had something like 5 or 6 years of free service before they kicked me off.

Mine just stopped working this week :(

Either it was a block account that ran out or they read this thread

Edit: yeah it was a 1tb block that finally ran out.

Any good specials going around for block accounts right now to supplement supernews/blocknews?

Is it actually stereo or just Dolby+? I had a Dolby+ rip come down recently and noticed that Kodi had a new setting to enable Dolby+ passthrough that wasn't there a few months ago, it had defaulted to off and caused Kodi to do a stereo downmix.

Did you set your watch folder to the same folder as your library? that causes symptoms like you've described.

I have episodes where half of the episodes for a show are in"Season 06" and half are in "Season 6" and sonarr doesn't try to fix it up. I really should make it do a rename on them but Kodi doesn't really care so I haven't bothered.

Yeah sorry, that's why I edited it out. I signed up for a $1 block and it's not working. The password for the site isn't the same as the password for the news server, but they don't tell you that password anywhere. They seem to have jumped the gun a bit on their grand opening.

Does raising a support ticket work to get hold of that password?

Last I checked nzb.su has no API at all without VIP & it's about $10/year.
They also take credit card (through a real processor) as well as Bitcoin so you don't have to deal with that bullshit.

I've been using them for a long time but just using the 10 free api hits on tabula Rasa has increased my backfill quite significantly, so I'm probably going to move elsewhere when my VIP expires next

You can also help yourself a little bit by adding the individual servers for a provider. For example with newshosting you could have news-us.newshosting.com as priority 0, news-nl as 1 and news-de as 2. You won't usually find full posts that are missing from US but available on NL or DE, but they'll sometimes have an article or two that aren't available on your main server. It might save you a few seconds not having to repair a download.

Note that if you do this be careful about setting connection limits lower than their limits, the connection count on the provider can lag slightly between regions and you can get errors if you go too close to the limit.

25 hits get killed pretty quick in sonarr/radarr, but if you are using nzbhydra you can add all the free accounts and it'll handle turning them off when the api limits are hit.

If you have a decent number of shows or movies being searched you probably need at least one free indexer

There is a sweet spot when it comes to connections and it depends on your line speed. Throw a big file in your queue and go plus or minus a few connections to see where you max out at.

Ive found that some providers max out my 50mbit at 10 connections and others at 20.
I think it depends on how long it takes for the teardown/setup of each one

Each article basically has a bit of overhead that doesn't use much traffic so you want a bunch of extra connections running while that's happening, but too many will start oversaturating your link (or stressing your computer) and reducing overall speed.

Fun fact: If you have a super fast internet connection and use direct download in sabnzbd and are using an external USB drive sabnzbds cache will fill up and your speed will go to poo poo because the entire thing can't keep up due to the additional disk access direct unpack causes. You can probably remedy this by having your incomplete folder on an SSD but I don't have the space on my little intel NUC i am using for my home theater setup :(

Turn off direct unpack?

Confirming I can consistently get 100.0MB/s on NewsDemon with gig FiOS. Oddly if I grab an older post it's a lot slower, I am assuming some sort of storage tiering is being done on usenet providers where they "archive" older stuff to slower storage.

Most providers with huge retention are "hybrid" where they have x days of their own retention and anything older they transparently proxy through to an upstream provider/backbone.

So, restarting the PC fixed the Radarr problem. I restarted the service about 20 times, but I guess the computer just needed to think about what it had done before it started working.

That's good because normally those questions are about the only thing that can go wrong

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
