  Google/learn about/consider these things

  VPN Usenet provider (i.e. EasyNews) Usenet indexers (i.e. NZBgeek) Usenet client (i.e. NZBget) Managing your library (Sonarr, Radar, Prowlarr, Filebot)

  Media server & streaming (i.e. Plex, Jellyfin)

  I watch through my firestick or android phones

  I might be missing something, but there are lots of guides once you figure out what you’re looking for. A little technical know-how makes things go smoother and faster though.

      Worth mentioning that NZBget is no longer in development. It still works but there is a fork out of a new client someone is developing. I can't recall the name but easily findable. This would be the equivalent of your torrent client.

      It's nearing year end and you can get end of year deals soon on providers and indexers so off hold off until November\December. I think I got a lifetime NZBGeek membership last year for like $100 or something. It was my first time doing usenet but I actually switched my instances to use usenet indexers first over torrent indexers its that good.

      There’s a few recent guides on Reddit that discuss this and automation. I got access to some private torrent trackers this year, but haven’t touched them since I got my Usenet subscription. I’ve been waiting decades for it to be this easy once you get it set up.

  Also, what makes Usenet safer?

  Running a VPN makes torrenting just as safe and you’ll be paying a subscription fee for Usenet so it’s a wash in my opinion.

  I second this and I’m in the same boat as you
