@Banana @nsrxn

What's a good search engine? That's been my issue with Usenet...but to be fair I haven't dug that deep. Just surface level poking around

Nzbgeek and nzbplanet are good. From my experience these 2 have very similar quality.

Drunkenslug is a lot harder to get into but it does find items the other two don't have on occasion. On the downside, drunkenslug lacks a one time subscription and the other two have a one time subscription. It does however have a free tier so you can probably be fine still using it as a last resort to try finding harder to get content.

Oh shit I signed up for DrunkenSlug years back during an open signup and have never done anything with it. I should actually get on that…

This is a good starting point if you want to dive in.

I use nzbfinder.ws and NzbGeek.info. I'm quite happy with that combo.

I'll have to talk to my brother because he's the one that set it up, but i think we use dognzb and it seems to work quite well.

I'm working towards a better understanding of it so if that doesn't answer your question please let me know and I'll get you a proper answer :)
