I’ve been downloading files from usenet for a couple years now; but I’ve never really known how to upload content.
Ultimately I’d like to find a Linux tool I can use from the command line that accepts a file (or folder), performs the necessary steps to break it into parts and upload each to a configured usenet provider, then spit out an nzb file for retrieval to be uploaded to an indexer.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
@Darkassassin07 take a look at ngPost
@rexum@gnu.gl What opsec to use with it?
Just mullvad and a xmr posting block?
What about how to make the nzbs show at the indexers?
Any guides on posting that you would recommend?
(PS: btw, I am a silent lover of your site, keep the good work, and congratulations for it)
@privadesco mullvad and xmr block should be fine. Just don’t give anyone your personal information and stay silent about it. To display your uploads on indexers you need to contact them and ask about that. I guess some allow user uploads without asking like Crawler and Geek. Sadly I can’t recommend any guide really but you should be able to figure ngPost out without too many issues. Another option would be nyuu but you need to write a script wrapping that to really make use of it.
Yes, geek has a very nice automated API to upload a bunch of nzbs at once, but it requires a paid account for that. I will look into crawler, I didn’t know they allowed it too. I know other place that allows but I’m too afraid to use it, and also I wanted things to become broadly available, not exclusively locked to a single indexer.
It would be nice to have a place that every major indexer would pick from, instead of contacting each one. It’s not very popular things, but would be great for preservation of media for the future.
Well, I believe I’m already not being very silent…
