Most big announcement I read about Plex these days usually have to do with the expansion of their own commercial streaming content, tv channels, etc.
As a pessimist, I’m fairly certain sooner or later they are going to drop the ability to host our own content to share with friends and family.
Weighing my options for my household.
It’s been a little while since I ran a special, so I figured I’d try to kick off the holiday weekend with a few deals to hopefully help y’all out…
Thank you again for the continued support as we work with our Provider to improve the user experience.
Stay safe and enjoy the weekend!
Will be working on a new setup in the upcoming days….been away from the scene for about 2 years.
Radarr/Sonarr/SABnzbd Plex Server on a dedicated mini PC (Celeron J4125 8gb ram 128gb SSD Win10 Pro) feeding 2x 4TB drives. LG CX with Plex.
Newsgroup Ninja or Eweka as main usenet and Usenet Farm ? as block
DrunkenSlug and NZBgeek as indexers
What do you guys think? feedback or advice is very appreciated. Cheers :)
Hello
I subscribed to Newshosting last September for an incredible deal of 20$Us for a full year. I didn’t have any problems, it worked fine, maximizing my 60 mbits connection. I was coming from usenetbucket that i used for years but it was a lot slower and more expensive.
So September is coming and it’s time to renew but i can’t find anywhere in my control panel the actual date my service is ending. Perhaps it’s just me that’s stupid. I also found that the service auto renew but what I’m wondering is will they charge me another 20$ or the full price of 10 to 15$ a month?
​
I guess I could have just asked to support but I’m trying here first.
Thanks in advance to anyone who helps me put some light on the situation.
I’m currently running ThunderNews as my main provider with no backup or secondary. I’m fairly new to UseNet and keep running into errors like “8 articles missing.” From what I gather it would be wise to pick up a secondary block provider to hopefully find those 8 missing articles, right?
I see that ThunderNews is a hybrid tier 1 reseller? I’m not really 100% sure what that means, other than I shouldn’t have a block account with another provider or reseller on their same tier?
I’d like to try out a 20 or 50GB block on another provider, but I’m not sure which to choose.
Any recommendations on a cheap/decent backup provider doing block accounts on a different tier?
​
Thanks!
​
EDIT: After doing a little searching would Blocknews or Maxiumusenet be a good choice?
Last two days or so I’ve got a message when trying to log into NinjaCentral that my account has been disabled. To the best of my knowledge, I’ve done nothing to break any rules. Anyone know if there is a technical issue with the login? Are they pruning accounts? (I’m not the MOST active person, but I do snatch a bit and have contributed in the forums). Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for reading!

So I wake up this morning and my Plex server had added over a dozen porn movies. I checked my Radarr history and it showed that it had downloaded movies that aren’t out yet (Dune, No Time to Die, Matrix 4 etc) and concluded this must be the cause. Is there any way to make sure this doesn’t happen again? I’ve been using usenet for over a decade and never had this happen.
I’ve checked the custom format section in the wiki but not sure where’s the proper place to tag HEVC/X265. Basically I want to set up upgrades for my existing 1080P collection to pull 2160P HDR 10Bit HEVC/X265. Can someone share their configuration? Thanks
Thanks for everyone’s knowledge here in the community.
Version 3.0.6.1196 (about to try upgrade this)
I had everything running great (still getting most everything I want). It seems recently sonarr has stopped downloading from usenet as a priority (it did when I did a force upgrade episodes or find missing can’t remember).
It’s the only delay profile I have but nothing has downloaded from usenet since 8⁄19.
I am more than happy to share logs if that will help please let me know which ones.
Here is the debug log:
Thanks again for your help.
I’ve been using sonar/radarr for the past two years. I had a show that my index wasn’t picking up so I was able to find the seasons and I just manually added them to my client (QB). Just messing around, I added the category of “tv-sonarr “ and just left it. I noticed later that my shows added to Plex as if sonarr had found the torrents. By me adding the category to what I manually added cause sonarr to manage the download or am I just crazy?
This was a first for me and I wasn’t sure. If it did work that way, this is very cool. Just wanted to confirm with someone.
I recently added DrunkenSlug/NZBGet to my arsenal, and am realizing that the overwhelming majority of my library were <5gb torrent downloads, usually by YIFY (I didn’t know!).
I would like to upgrade a majority of my movies to the new ~10gb/movie standard that Usenet offers.
How can I do this, other than a very slow manual process, movie by movie? If I try to Search a movie, since the format is identical, Radarr doesn’t see the point and won’t do the upgrade.
Also… Is this even necessary? Will I really notice the difference?
edit: Wanted to clarify, I currently have 1080, and want to stay with 1080, but just… a better 1080.
