I’ll start. Did you know you can run a headless version of JD2 on a raspberry pi? It’s not the greatest thing in the world, but sometimes its nice to throw a bunch of links in there and go to sleep.

    If you really want to build an awesome Plex/Jellyfin library, start using Usenet instead of torrents.

      Please tell me what I can get on usenet that isn’t on PTP, BTN, or RED.

      I would bet that 99/100 releases are uploaded to private trackers before usenet.

        I’d like to know this as well. Haven’t used Usenet for over 10 years. PTP, BTN, and Red are all I need. Seed box and Plex. I’m into indie/obscure films also, so what would Usenet offer that they don’t?

        If you have cabal and able to maintain ratio (yeah BTN is ratio less) you don’t need Usenet

        But thats such a small proportion of people. Usenet is what I recommend to entry level people who want top tier access but aren’t will to spend time/effort/networking but will spend money m

      I’ve personally found that usenet isn’t that good unless you’re trying to grab things immediately. I find trying to grab older stuff really hit or miss, mostly miss.

          Right, get a block account with another provider on a different backbone and you should be good to go!

        Most indexers have a request form for content. Ive used the one on NZBGeek numeous times and gotten what I wanted within a day or two.
