I went with the yearly unlimited subscription through Frugal. I believe I paid $39.00 for the year, plus it comes with a 500gb block account through Blocknews.
A good indexer is critical to your setup. Since I just started my Usenet journey a month ago, I can only recommend two: NZBgeek and Drunkenslug. There are many others that I’m sure are worth it, I just haven’t had time to test anything else. NZBgeek might not have open registrations right now.
I use SABnzbd as my downloader.
Other than that, one of the best resources I used when getting set up was TRaSH Guides. Endless guides on configuring your downloader, indexers, and much more. Do some research on Sonarr, Radarr, and the other arr programs. Takes a little bit of effort getting it all set up, but makes everything so easy once you’re done.
Thanks! At this point I don't yet know what an indexer is, so I guess I have much to learn!
An indexer indexes nzb files. Nzb files are like torrent files, they point you to the files you want. So the indexer says "takes this ABC.nzb file and you'll get couch the latest Ubuntu iso cough".
