Putting this post together so everyone can easily track the King’s Day 2025 Usenet deals.
After comparing them to what’s currently listed on the r/usenet deals page, the King’s Day prices are lower across the board — and several providers are offering better features too.
If you’re looking for the best time to sign up or switch providers, this is it.
Here’s the side-by-side breakdown:

I’ve been torrenting for a good few years. I download about 500gb - 1TB a month.
Usenet is always said to be a better option, so I’m keen to explore. Though the cost seems more than I would pay for other subscription services.
I don’t like the idea of a monthly limited subscription, and would like a yearly or lifetime unlimited or 1TB subscription, but these all seem a fair bit of money.

I am looking to up my usenet experience currently using NZBPlanet, GeekNZB and DrunkenSlug. What else could I add to this list to cover those rarer news items
We’re on vacation, I downloaded a shit tons of bluey and disney movies on the tablet.
The 3 years olds are stoked to be able to chose a movie on the flight. Works like a charm.
I connect the tablet to the shitty resort wifi.
There’s a rainy day, I tell the kids we can listen to a few blueys.
The app updated itselft.
Nothing fucking work anymore.
The kids are crying.
The wife now regrets we don’t have disney+ like every “normal” family.
Thanks plex.
Fuck you, with peace and love.
I had 200GB worth of classic Doctor Who stuff. It was an unruly mess. Folders inside of folders. Naming conventions were all over the place. Some episodes were single files. Some files were multiple episodes. Documentaries randomly peppered into the file structure.
Plex hated this.
With a bulk renaming tool and learning barely enough RegEx to make it work, I now have a complete Plex indexed Doctor Who library.
Plex also hated how episodes were named things like:
I also fixed all of that. Now each episode shows up as its own episode like it should.
I’ve seen a lot of complaints about Doctor Who around here, but Plex will pick it all up as long as you’re very strict to the naming conventions and referencing TVDB for accurate titles. This will separate out “Doctor Who (1963)” and “Doctor Who (2005)” with ease. You’ll also see in photo that I have baked in the Season …
Hey Team Sonarr,
I’m excited to announce Version 6 of Huntarr, a tool designed to help complete your media collection by automatically searching for missing content and quality upgrades. This major update brings significant improvements to support complex media server setups. Note the APP is in the UNRAID app store and you can visit us at r/huntarr for Reddit.
Note for users on v5 - You will have to re-setup your configs due to the new multi-ARR support. Also why it has been moved to v6. If you need to move back to v5 for any reason: use huntarr/huntarr:5.3.1
Team,
I’m excited to announce a significant update to Huntarr’s Sonarr integration that many of you, especially torrent users, have been requesting! Visit us anytime at r/Huntarr and the GITHUB.
NOTE: Working on 6.2 - check out the history mode: https://imgur.com/a/ZZLkI1X
A new “Season Packs” Search Mode (including Solo and restored Shows Mode from Huntarr v3)
Huntarr now supports four different search modes for missing content:
Hey Team Radarr,

Hey everyone, I built an open-source Discord bot that connects directly to Radarr and Sonarr, allowing users to: Search for movies or TV shows from Discord Request movies/shows to be added with a simple command Get automatic notifications when downloads are complete It’s lightweight, self-hostable, and only requires your Radarr/Sonarr API keys — no webhooks or crazy setup. Perfect if you have friends or family in your Discord server who always ask you to add stuff! Now they can request things themselves without needing access to your server dashboard. GitHub repo: https://github.com/tyoung1996/servarr-discord-bot I’d love any feedback or feature ideas if you give it a try!
I’ve always been a little frustrated with the “absolutely not, why would you even ask that” answers that you get when you talk about DDLs on Sonarr. Unfortunately for me, they’re mostly right, EXCEPT for AnimeTosho. They provide a feed for all the torrents that they mirror, and also happen to put the download links in that feed. “So,” I thought, “all I need to do is (1) strip the torrent out of it, (2) get the direct download links from the feed, (3) pick up which one Sonarr chooses, and (4) direct download it instead.” So that’s what I did.
The app does pretty much what I described above. It uses JDownloader to actually handle the downloads and check if the link is up.
But it has some drawbacks:
