Easy, get automation software like Radarr for movies and Sonarr for tv shows, add indexers like Drunkenslug to them, install and connect SABNZBD as the download client to Sonarr and Radarr and lets roll
You forgot the most important part, subscribe to a usenet provider. Your usenet download client can't download anything without a provider.
Drunkenslug isn't a provider? Sorry for the boob question.
Nah drunkenslug is an indexer. You need both an indexer and provider to use usenet. Indexers normally cost money via a donation for lifetime or 1 year of download privilege.
Providers you pay for via different plan types. Some sell “block” accounts where you get XGB of download and once it’s gone it’s gone. Some have a subscription model with a bandwidth allotment. Some have pay a flat fee for unlimited access. All depends on what you’re willing to pay.
R/usenetproviders has a wiki but I recommend Eweka or NewsDemon
Sorry, you're right
Does Usenet require VPN or similar?
No, all traffic is encrypted via SSL so your isp doesn’t know what you’re doing
In addition, you only download and never upload. Seeding is the ground under which torrent users are prosecuted.
