Advanced pirates, whats a tip others might not know? - Divisions by zero

I’ll start. Did you know you can run a headless version of JD2 on a raspberry pi? It’s not the greatest thing in the world, but sometimes its nice to throw a bunch of links in there and go to sleep.

Also what’s the safest/cheapest/possible free(?) VPN you can use to torrent? Thinking about doing that as Direct Download, while nice and more safe, can definitely be time consuming

I’d rather pay for a decent Usenet backbone and use exclusively SSL downloads than rely on a VPN with torrents.

You don’t want a free VPN. I’d cough up for Mullvad if I was going that route.

I couldn’t agree more. Usenet all the way.
Which one do you personally prefer? I used to use easynews and some giganews back in the day but dunno how the latest and greatest is these days.

It’s been a couple years since I set it up so I couldn’t tell you what’s the best deal these days.

I use Newsdemon’s 2tb/mo plan (Black Friday deal, it’s almost free it was so cheap) and a Blocknews block for completion. I don’t have any issues with downloads being incomplete but YMMV.

Nzbgeek indexer (lifetime sub), Sabnzbd downloader, and the full *arr suite for automation.

Thanks for all the neatly packed info. Seems like I nailed with the indexer but will check the rest out. Cheers.
I just looked at the current offerings from Newsdemon and the deals are not nearly as sweet as the plan I’m on. I suspect that your best bet for a long-term subscription would be to wait until Black Friday, but there are plenty of providers with cheap blocks or monthly plans to play around with.
