linux isos for download i think
Debbie or Debian distro?
I'm not sure, I still fill my TB drives with linux isos from torrents still.
Debbie does Distro
Thought they were free?
Google sonarr, radarr, nzb indexer for an initial pointer or three.
While having gigs to be able to download is one thing, a reliable indexer is also important.
So someone would point Prowlarr to this instead of public indexers ?
This deal is for download quota, not indexing
@abb: I know. I was just indicating that without a good indexer, download quota is a bit pointless unless you want to randomly try to sift through binaries.
Not sure, I don't use Prowlarr (or fully know what it does) as I use a private indexer.
@scottb721: @scottb721 so you would theoretically need multiple indexers to make prowlarr beneficial??
I only use one so that is all I need to put into the other 'arrs.
@jollster101: Not knowing which ones to use i just mapped a couple. I've only just added the arrs to my Synology NAS and integrated them with my Plex.
Newsgroup server access. Nothing you can't get for free from various other platforms, but it allows speed.
Whether it's a bargain or not depends on the user.
It does get cheaper than this however so not an awesome bargain IMO.
OP also forgot the first rule.
The 2x1TB for USD 15 was better value but they come up less frequently.
Thanks! I rarely use Newsgroups nowadays but handy if it's needed.
443 port NON SSL
and 80 port SSL??
"Does not compute"
It's muscle confusion for your ports
How quickly do the Newsgroup Direct servers respond to DMCA complaints?
The first rule of usenet is…
Have fun and be yourself?
Nice deal, but funny title,
Non expiring block expires 20th
Block prices have gone up, i paid 4TB for $16 in 2021
Just checked my history. I paid $USD20 for a 500G block in 2013!
1GB was $40 in 2016 for me. I think they are pushing people to subscription now
Oh that's been a while!
Waiting on Easynews special.
Black Friday usually brings up quite a few NG deals, I managed to snare a decent Newsgroup Ninja deal a couple of years or so ago.
NewsGroupDirect are not to be trusted with honoring their deals. I had a decreasing deal from 5 years ago. Every year the annual amount was supposed to decrease for like 7 years. It cost me a bit more than other offerings at the time but I thought in the long term it would be better. Except they stopped honouring it and didn't even bother to let me know. I had to contact them to find out why and it took them a week to respond, simply telling me they they chose to change the deal.
Let's hope they don't decide to make the blocks suddenly expire after a year or something like that.
I'm clueless in this area. What exactly is this please?
