I’ve been very happy with Geek and Ninja, but I kept hearing that DS was incredible. I ended up getting an account during the most recent open registration period, and I’m completely underwhelmed. It indexes the same articles as my existing indexers but with much greater delay (24+ hours).
Granted, all indexers should index the same articles in theory, so I shouldn’t have added it to begin with. However, Ninja was a dramatic improvement over Geek alone. I figured I might get something out of DS. Am I missing something? Is it meant to fill some niche that I’m not privy to? Thoughts?

I was able to sign up for Drunken Slug during open registration. I paid for a 100 NZB per day account to compliment my Geek and Alt Hub lifetime subs. I downloaded 101 NZBs yesterday (first day as a paid user), and when the counter reset, I was docked 10 NZBs from today’s limit. It’s no big deal. I’m just curious if users with hard limits are penalized for going over? Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!
I started using usenet over 20 years ago, when most of the stuff was wide open, no obfuscation. I mostly stopped using it about ten years ago because I mostly downloaded books, and the best poster stopped posting, and they were getting easy to find on archive and torrent sites. Now the torrent sites are crap, and I’m more into movies, so I want to go back to usenet again. I’ve used it occasionally for movies, but most of the unobfuscated ones are spam now.
I’ve been using Newsbin as my client most of the last 20 years, because the updates are free, but if it’s the problem, I’m willing to change.
I read a short article on modern usenet, and it said what I need is a client, a provider, and a subscription to an NZB site. I was already signed up with newshosting, and I just signed up with nzbplanet.
I found the show I wanted, and it said 100% available. I downloaded the nzb. I opened it up in Newsbin, and the files were all green (good). I tried downloading …
I’m curious of all the listed options for receiving notifications within the suite of *arr tools which ones people prefer and why. I’ve always defaulted to Email/SMTP because it required so little to get going, but I suspect I’m missing out on greater functionality from some of these other choices.
For example, I sorta dread the times where I decide to get a large collection of something and the huge amount of email it’ll generate. I have the arr’s setup to only notify on import. In those cases I end up temporarily setting my phone to ‘do not disturb’ so the mail sound notification doesn’t drive me insane as it goes off every minute or less for the next hour. This is one of those slight annoyances where I can’t imagine it’s just me and I bet many of you have already dealt with this.
TLDR: Is there an arr’s notification solution out there that will provide a summary or hourly/daily digest in some scenarios? Some …
What have others done with their Plex libraries upon their very foreseeable future?
For me, the doctors have given me 6 to 12 months to live with my stage 4 metastatic cancer (colon, liver, lungs). I think I have a nice family library of some 60TB of materials.
Do they just have their executor toss the drives and media? CAn’t donate it to a thrift store.
Day after day, week after week, there are questions about running Plex on (typically) N100-based mini PC’s by people who has made no research whatsoever on their own. I feel the number of posts have increased from weekly to daily or even multiple posts per day in the past few weeks.
I think it’s great that people want to run Plex, and mini PC’s are a legit way to do it for some - but it’s really getting tiresome with the same stuff being repeated over and over. Could we please limit or ban these questions, and instead refer to a stickied thread that’s replaced (weekly, monthly, quarterly, I don’t care)?
Edit: 95% snarky or ironic responses by edgy teenagers, people enjoy reading the same content over and over, I suppose.
I’m kind of at a loss and kicking myself right now. I was getting my oil changed today and was going to listen to some tunes with Plexamp. But several of my artists weren’t showing up. I get home and my second drive, an 8TB external USB HDD is not responding. When I reseat the cables, it makes a clicking sound for a bit then silence.
I wouldn’t mind so much, but I have no idea what music (movies or TV shows) were on that drive. I don’t care so much about the movies and TV shows. I’m just so frustrated at myself for not having a more solid setup with backups.
The sort of good news is that the majority of my music was purchased through bandcamp and I can just re-download.
Like the title says… Lesson learned.
I’ve seen it asked time and time again - how can a season or show be unmonitored after grabbing? There’s no built-in way to do that directly from Sonarr, but I found a way (mostly by accident) when looking for a way to automatically prune content on my media server.
https://github.com/jorenn92/Maintainerr has customizable rules which can be triggered by events from sonarr/radarr, your media player or tautulli, or any combination of the above. Actions include deleting or unmonitoring content. I use both (seasons without a watched episode in over a year get deleted, anything which has been on the system for over a month without change gets unmonitored) and you can set your own preferences for practically all variables. It’s been great for managing my storage availability and preventing the re-grabbing of old and already-watched seasons.
Shoutout over.
Hi everyone,
I have tried almost everything, and I am stumped!
I recently moved my Prowlarr and Radarr setup using backups from my old Windows 10 laptop to my newly built PC with Windows 11 Pro.
I installed both apps as Windows services. I had to manually set Prowlarr to run as administrator to get it working. The Prowlarr service now starts with Windows but won’t show in the tray.
Radarr just won’t start with Windows no matter what I do. I tried making changes in Windows “Services,” ensured it’s running as administrator, and even tried putting shortcuts for “radarr.exe” and “radarr.console.exe” in the startup folder, but none of these worked. Every time, I have to start Radarr manually from the desktop on every boot.
I am out of ideas and need your help!
I usually download my movies and series via Jellyseer and then via Sonaar Radaar, I download the subtitles via Bazarr. German has the highest priority, if this is not available English is also ok.
Now it can happen that a few weeks after the release German subtitles or a German version is published. If Sonarr Radarr has already downloaded the English soundtrack, the German version is unfortunately not automatically loaded.
Is there any way I can set it to continue searching? As I understand it, not really, is there?
EDIT: it was me using the Sonarr webUI that was causing this error message. See comment below.
I have a pretty simple Sonarr / Prowlarr / Unpacker / qBittorrent setup running on a Beelink miniPC under Windows 11.
My Sonarr log files are littered with the following error:
2024-06-25 15:19:39.0|Info|Sonarr.Http.Authentication.BasicAuthenticationHandler|Basic was not authenticated. Failure message: Authorization header missing.
I get 10 to 30 of these lines in a block every hour or so. There isn’t really any information on preceding or subsequent log entries to help decipher exactly what the issue is. I have no issues accessing my Sonarr web interface.
The only other issue that may or may not be related is downloads in qBittorrent will sometimes not get removed upon hitting my 1.1 ratio / 3000 minute torrent limits. The status changes to “Completed”, the ETA shows infinity, and they sit there indefinitely. The associated files themselves always get …
I’m sure there’s an easy way to get this set up but I can’t seem to figure it out.
