Hi,

Sorry if this has been posted before but I’m looking at trying Usenet instead of torrents.

I’ve done some Googling and honestly, it’s a little overwhelming knowing what Usenet provider to use, where to get quality indexers and which download client would be the best.

If anyone has any resources or advice to help me sail the Usenet seas I would be eternally grateful!

    I thought seedboxes were a torrent thing?

      They are.
      But my provider offers a VPN through the same connection.
      Last time I looked most of seedbox and usenet providers offered this as a perk.
      And the speed is very good. This time I don’t even need a VPN service. Though I am limited to one country I don’t have an issue with the limitation.

        Thanks. I feel like since I started posting on Lemmy, I’ve been like a bottomless pit trying to learn everything I can. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with me.

          My pleasure :)
          Feel free to ask.

          So far my card house of my Debian NAS + docker + traefik reverse proxy + *arrs hasnt fallen together so I am doing something right though I have still much to learn as well.
