I'm happy to say none of them have received any of my money for any streaming service. They can all go bankrupt.

Ah yes, why spend 15 minutes to familiarise yourself with the Arr stack when you can pay someone to do it for you?

Isn't real debrid just a paid for leeching service? Shameless taking from the commons without giving back and charging for the privilege?

The charge is minor. I can dl unlimited 4k vids. 28gb files in about a minute. I have it connected to radar and jdownloader and tv series just dl automatically now.

Damn, it's almost like torrenting works exactly the same way.

That's why you join private trackers.

My seedbox is easily downloading at 2 Gbit/s. I assume that's an HDD hardware limit, it's a shared 40 Gbit connection actually.

I prefer usenet. Higher speeds, no uploading, privacy, encrypted connections. Together with Sonarr and Radarr it works flawlessly. Future fils and series episodes are automatically downloaded, extracted, renamed and moved to the right folder which shows up as newly added content in Kodi. Takes a bit of time to set up, but having Kodi instead of a streaming service with all content added automatically is a bliss.

Not just that but they have publicly doxxed their own customers.

I don't think I can get higher speeds that what I get in my private tracker. It's basically only capped by my home Internet speed. And I like the uploading and the sense of community and sharing with eachother. It's virtually not an issue to keep the ratio high enough. The rest is like the are services, they work the same.

How would one go about using Usenet for pirating? This is the first time I've heard about it being used like that and not in old web forums

I'm pretty sure you have to pay for access

Over here uploading and downloading is illegal, but downloading isn't being fined. Uploading though, can be dangerous as you can get hefty fines. You can also upload on usenet, as it is filled with posts from others, but as it's all encrypted and put on servers instead of being directly downloaded by people from your drive, the worst that could happen is it being removed from the servers. There's a large community, with many smaller communities. Just like with torrents. Just less malware, less junk, less risk.

My max internet speed is 1Gbit/s upload and download. Usenet usually downloads with 70MB/s (restricted by the operating and writing speeds of my NAS which runs everything 24/7) while torrents usually don't go higher than 20MB/s when seeded properly.

It's possible to do it for free, but I pay a monthly fee of €7,50 at Eweka (they have a really long retention) and next to that I pay 2x €10 per year for indexers.

There are setup guides online like this and this one for usenet specifically.
