Just like torrenting, it's all about the indexers. I've been exclusively usenet for a long time.
Bit embarrassed to say, but I tried to set all that stuff up, and could never get it to work correctly. and anything I was looking for I couldn't find. Do you just use it for specific things or do you have add ons that download batches, like Sonarr, couchpotato, etc.
I want to see if I could find the wall street journal on there, as I refuse to pay what they want. Also, Lock N Load and Mail Call with R. Lee. Ermy. also, terrible show but Rad Girls (Jackass spin off, cannot say just how bad it is.)
