Yes yes yes. Ever since I set up my arr stack on my home server, I've been blown away by just how easy getting everything I want in minutes is. It's all automated. It's actually insane.
If it's better to DM please do, but what service do you use? At the moment I've been using arr with torrents for.. ISO.. And would like to take the step to usenet
I use frugal usenet and usenet express for my providers. (for redundancy and speed, you only need one really.)
I use nzbgeek for search.
Both providers mostly saturate my 2.5gbps download speed, and when they don't, my download automatically uses both of them at once anyway so I always saturate. (I limit speeds during the day so I don't notice any network lag if an automatic download starts while I'm doing stuff.) I can't recommend one over the other, they both perform great.
I use sabnzbd to actually download stuff, then the arr stack to trigger and control it.
Sabnzbd did require some extra configuration to saturate my bandwidth, so if you do run into any issues DM me and I can help.
All of this lets me download my publicly available and free Linux ISOs very quickly. Even the biggest ones download in a couple minutes. I still use torrents as a backup, as some stuff makes it to torrents before usenet, but I have usenet set as a higher priority. Both are searched automatically so I don't miss anything.
Thanks for replying, I'll be looking into this later!
