First, is the marketplace at torrentinvites.org legit? Second, is it dishonorable to do such things? Third, how to avoid scams? Fourth, are there alternative marketplaces to have a sense of whether the price is right?
UPDATE I wanted to thank all for the feedback, you made me change my mind and saved my ass from some costly frustrations… good thing I asked here first!
Hard agree with Usenet. If you’re doing sonarr/radar stuff save yourself tons of stress and hook into usenet
How do I get started with usenet? I did a quick search in the megathread and didn’t see anything about it. I’ve heard a lot of very positive stuff about usenet, but just trying to figure out about how much it costs all in and everything.
For Usenet, you need 3 things:
- Newsreader (this is your downloader). I use SABnzbd
- Provider (This provides access to the Usenet Server you would like to download from) Frugal Usenet is cheap and is what I started with, I now also use UsenetPrime.
- Indexer (This is where you go to find the files you want to download.) I started with NZBGeek. I now use a combo of NZBGeek, altHub, NZBplanet, and NZBfinder – but I admittedly went a little overboard. You do not need this many indexers.
Using these 3 things combined with Radarr (movies), Sonarr (TV), and Prowlarr (indexers), you will have a great time automating your download process.
If you find that what you want isn’t on your indexer, perhaps think about adding another indexer. If you find that the NZBs grabbed from your indexer are not available at all, consider switching providers. If you find that your downloads aren’t completing (or are missing articles), try a different NZB from your indexer.
That should be a basic introduction on how to get started. Good luck. Let me know if you have questions.
edit: https://shakil-shahadat.github.io/awesome-piracy/#usenet has some info.
Thank you so much for this. This lead me to usenet-docker and now I’m on my way to downloading the entire internet.
