[–] TheImpressiveX@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 years ago (1 child) So if someone wanted to get started with Usenet, where would they begin? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Darkassassin07@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 years ago You need three things: a usenet client for downloading files. I use SABnzbd A usenet provider. This is where you are downloading from. I haven't done a huge amount of research here, just grabbed something cheap for now, and I'll explore more later if necessary: Frugal Usenet and finally; A usenet Indexer. Equivalent to a torrent indexer like TPB, but for .nzb's and pretty much always paid access. I went with NZBGeek mainly because it was recommended alongside frugal and I didn't feel like digging more at the time. At $6/mo for those two, I'd say give it a try and explore more/other options as needed. permalink fedilink source parent
