Provider: Eweka Indexer: Geek
I’m probably about average when it comes to tech stuff. I always feel dumb when I start looking into getting started with usenet, then get intimidated and quit researching. My torrent + vpn has failed me a couple of times in the past three years. So I really just need to make the leap. Just finding this community and reading through some of the posts has given me an initiative boost.
frugal usenet here as well but i have collected block accounts over the years that really never get used so they just sit there.
Are you me?
im not sure, maybe you are actually me?
Block accounts?
Frugal Usenet, I did the one that gets you the block storage then ended up adding more block storage after that ran up
Newsgroup.ninja, because I support fellow ninjas and pirates.
Have a backup block on Usenet Farm which I’ve basically never needed.
GigaNews for my procvider, NZBGeek and PlanetNZB for indexers.
Is it just me or is usenet a bit expensive? One would need to pay for both an indexer and a provider. Regular public trackers have majority of the content for, well, free. Is obscure stuff on Usenet easier to find?
i wouldnt waste my time with torrents now. it is one of those things hard to explain but once you make the jump for yourself you will just know and wish you did it long ago. if you are all in for under a $100 per year, i dont consider that expensive at all.
I’ve been looking at eweka since mullvad removed port forwarding but i now have 1000/400 internet and like seeding so vpn recommendations are welcome (and indexers)
No VPN necessary. Eweka and Geek is a great combination.
Use night - it’s by far the cheapest I’ve found (20 euro for a year). Gives you fast speeds at night and throttles during the day. Not an issue for me.
Usenight
When I first tried Usenet, I wanted something cheap so I could see if it was right for me. I haven’t bothered to change since, so I use Frugal Usenet and Geek to index. Both work quite well for everything I’ve tried except ebooks.
#bookz on undernet is great

lol imagine being so poor you can’t afford 10 dollars a month
