I’ve returned to the high seas, eye patch and all.
I found a seedbox provider that is fairly cheap and works well. I have a long standing rss feed for new shows so next step is going to be getting it setup to auto download for me. I can do it locally but spectrum is hard core with the dmca notices and I don’t want to risk losing my account.
Sonarr and Radarr with NZBGet, usenet indexer and a cheap unlimited news server provider, and you’re laughing. I have everything downloading automagically as soon as its release, loads right into Jellyfin - all on a copyright notice keen ISP and never have any issues because im not sharing anything up, its all down with usenet
I have been looking into this solution, I am concerned on whether it will need a VPN or not. I have one already, but it does not play nice with my current solution.
The majority of countries, and the uk for sure, its not illegal to download content but it is illegal to upload it / share it. Therefore using usenet is fine to do, legally, without the aid of a VPN as you are merely consuming and not providing or uploading. I have been doing this for years with zero problem or letter from any of three isps i have been with the in last decade.
You’re very welcome. I have a newsletter you can subscribe to if you’d like, though i should probably warn you it costs £5 a month and includes some advertising.
I have all my services set up on a docker container that has a VPN Killswitch, so if the VPN ever drops for any reason my “activity” is disabled automatically until I can notice and fix it.
Or, I could pay the $9/month for a server that has a 10gig connection to the rest of the world and do my part by leaving them seeding for longer than I would otherwise.
Would love a seed box recommendation if you have one to share? My new place is off grid so with limited power prefer to offload a 24 hour server elsewhere so I can be a responsible seeder.
I’m using rapidseedbox.com but there are a ton of others out there. I tried them because they take crypto and I don’t have to give them any info whatsoever.
I pay about $300 per year for an IPTV service that provides over 3000 channels which means all the news and sports I can think of. Also on demand TV and movies, and recordings of popular live sports. It allows 2 public IPs so I share this service with my brother. It’s amazing. I’ve used a few different IPTV services that got shutdown and this one is the best. It’s been about 2 years now which is about as long as I’ve seen these services last so I hope it doesn’t get shut down anytime soon.
I’d rather just run my own service for my own use. I have a nas and I use vlc on my TV to watch anything I want. I’m currently working on grabbing all of the shows that I want to re-watch and are available in their entirety, homeland, the wire, Dr who, Archer, etc. I’ll also be keeping an eye on the paramount and others for shows that look interesting and add them to my rss feed.
Look up radarr and sonarr. Automate all your downloads. You can torrent with it but usenet is much easier. Additionally set up a server with unraid and add all the apps to docker. You got yourself a media server. Add plex and all the other arr apps in there too.

Have a look at the **arr range of apps

Or classic torrents combined with a VPN.

Good to know, thanks.

It’s all direct download and https from what I understand, so all anyone can see is that you went to the sites, not what you download.
Just use a vpn, always, and spectrum has no idea what you’re doing
