![]() ![]() Once the NZBGet has downloaded the posts and built the binaries, etc then it tells Radarr/Sonarr. Sabnzbd is another popular one and I believe older. NZBGet is the Usenet client that downloads the posts, assembles them in the original binary files. In Radarr you can tell it to use a bittorrent client as the source of the movies instead of a Usenet client. Also, if you change indexers then you would just have to change the setting in NZBHydra.ĬouchPotato has been replaced by Radarr. Then you point Radarr/Sonarr to NZBHydra instead of having to configure multiple indexers into both Radarr and Sonarr. So you get a subscription to multiple indexers and put them in NZBHydra. NZBHydra is just a front end to multiple Usenet indexers. It will have the Usenet client down the 720p version while it keeps looking for a 1080p version. So say you want a 1080p version of the movie but all Radarr can find at the time is a 720p. The criteria for Radarr/Sonarr can also have levels. Radarr sends the NZB file provided by the indexer to the Usenet client for download. Radarr uses the indexer to find all copies of the movie that meet your criteria. You tell Radarr you want such and such movie with specific criteria (1080p, English, etc). Sonarr/Radarr is the thing that sits between your Usenet client (NZBGet) and the Usenet indexer/search engine. Here's what I can answer on your questions: You can also buy block accounts where you pay for say 500 GB of data for $5. With that said, a year Usenet subscription is $20 - $30. Not like the old days where your ISP, university, etc would offer a good Usenet feed. Now days you gotta pay for a Usenet subscription. The reply to this can easily serve as a new FAQ. * Other app/client/service I should consider that serves as the above and is possibly better at it? As above? Or not? How does it compare to it? This guy here "needs" the "search for indexers" above to actually find stuff? No? Right? It claims to use "our favorite download software" (how?). So I guess even without newsgroup subscription, it makes sense to use it. Well its description is pretty stupid-proof, as it says it searches for movies from usenet and torrents (and you don't bother with actual knowledge of the existence of trackers etc.). What makes it difference from Sonarr/Radarr? It is more generic? What does it mean that it is "compatible" with Sonarr/Radarr/NZBGet etc.? Do they need it to become "better" in some way? I also don't get how it "integrates" with clients (and what do these clients miss if they don't integrate with FlexGet). * FlexGet, advertises as a "multipurpose automation tool", I fail to grasp practical uses, although the claim is pretty bold and really seems interesting. * Sonarr, searches for and downloads (?) series episodes, from newsgroups and actually some "indexers" (already first confusion although I can mostly understand the concept). So let see what I can understand for each and PLEASE step in and correct me and fill the blanks. NOTE: I haven't installed any of them to try it out yet, so this is a "virgin" take from info I find online. If nothing serious can be done without one, please point this out to me and the thread stops there. IMPORTANT NOTE: I don't plan to pay some newsgroup subscription. MY MAIN GOAL: Bother only with the select few (hopefully one or two) that can actually cover everything I need and add containers for them. I am talking about the programs I list in the title and try to make a sense of them. I see various pieces of software (I hate the word "apps" as a tag to everything) that "relate" to this, but I have to say I am lost. Of course big chunk of these users are there "for the stuff". Newsgroups seem to refuse to die and have die hard followers. erm decades ago, but also someone who has given up using them for many years and can't remember a bit about them, except those tree branches that form them and that I used to need software to read them. OK disclaimer, I am rather old to remember newsgroups fine and actually used them.
