Ahh this makes more sense to me now. The seedbox service i pay for has great bandwidth, and my personal bandwidth is enough to stream 4k content from it. So i kinda use my seedbox as a proxy instead

I get what you're saying, but personally speaking, that's not enough of a benefit to start subscribing to a usenet provider and invest time hunting down newsgroups for content access. Its also not worth changing the bottom layer of my arr stack. Not to mention the time I've already invested into getting in the couple private trackers I'm in. I already don't have any issues getting the content I want to watch. I honestly don't see how its worth it for anyone. Like how often would one need to be searching for obscure content for it to be worth the monthly cost?

Edit, 5 downloads per day for a free membership is downright laughable to me. We're pirates ffs. This is p2p sharing.

I looked into usenet but i could never get over having to subscribe pay for it. Why bother when torrenting is free. I'm on a couple private trackers and use a few public, but I never pay for access for the trackers or pirated content. Ive donated before to private trackers, and I pay for my seedbox monthly but that's for a service, it's not a paywall for access. I also read there are download limits and having to find newsgroups that have the content you want. It all seems more work than its worth and you have to pay for the privilege to do that work for the same exact outcome. 🤷‍♂️

I think OP needs a decent private tracker that's pretty easy to keep up with. My main private tracker has a rule, seed 3x or for 3 days to avoid hit an run on any torrent. You can also use earned coins from seeding to pay off hit and runs.

Thats pretty much the entire point of this, they stated these are all scene releases. So fitgirl et al etc.

For some masochistic reason they sometimes come rar'd, iso'd, and custom windows based unpacker which is all really unnecessary and creates more points of potential failure for the linux gamer.

LinuzRules releases have linux .sh based unpackers, but even those arent guaranteed to work and can get stuck. I'd much rather just get the complete uncompressed files.

Tl;dr Scene releases use unpackers which often fail and multiple levels of unnecessary compression.

Thats fair

If you're standards are so low that you could hit a random button on Netflix and be satisfied with whatever comes on, then just use free services like tubi. It has a ton of content. Doesn't mean its worth watching to the majority of us, but hey if your bar is already that low 😂

Its up for debate how much it actually hurt musicians, there is an argument saying that before the advent of streaming the music industry was headed for the dogs anyway, and that piracy was just one of the many things that contributed to the decline of the cd-sales based music industry. If you want to help out the actual artists, go to live shows and buy merchandise.

When it comes to the TV industry, more streams dont translate into more money into the actors or creators pockets, they only line the pockets of the executives at netflix, hulu, etc.

So much for hardware transcoding eh? lol

I find Organizrr to be much more comprehensive dashboard. And Lol at running plex just to use overseerr but still streaming with Jelly 😂 just use Jellyseerr, delete plex/over, and save a TON of system resources.
