From what I understood you are trying to get access to international languages media.

Omicron's newzlazer, like easynews search, is useful because it can deobfuscate some stuff that you can't find manually in some indexers, but if you are looking for international content, what will matter for you are what indexers you have access. Here are some options:

  • SceneNZBs - specially for content in German.
  • Dog - Good (better than usual at least) curated, and sometimes unique, international media source.
  • Finder - Better than usual source for international media.
  • Su - You probably already notices that, but also good for international languages.
  • Ninja - Like dog, has some unique content.
  • WtF[nZb] - (not to be confused with the other one with similar name) Good for international releases but very hard to interact with (complicated search and limited API). Easynews' Web Search somehow deobfuscate some of their releases. Some Scandinavian content.
  • DrunkenSlug - Also good for internation releases.
  • Spotweb (clubnzb, nzbstars) - Good for Dutch content.

Search for "Non-Mainstream Movies Statistics in Usenet Indexers" at german google should find you a analysis comparing availability of hundreds of releases separated in about 30 languages (it is a handmade study, not some crazy prowlarr stats).

Yes, geek has a very nice automated API to upload a bunch of nzbs at once, but it requires a paid account for that. I will look into crawler, I didn't know they allowed it too. I know other place that allows but I'm too afraid to use it, and also I wanted things to become broadly available, not exclusively locked to a single indexer.

It would be nice to have a place that every major indexer would pick from, instead of contacting each one. It's not very popular things, but would be great for preservation of media for the future.

Well, I believe I'm already not being very silent...

Nice api! Thanks for the link!

About the js, don't get me wrong, the site looks gorgeous as it is (with the js)!

It's just for no-script users, the idea of having it rendering a simple nojs if the js can't be loaded is always nice. But take that as niche feedback.

About having it inside the SVG, well that is the only thing I miss from the old versions. It was a really nice way to visualize, specially offline. But I understand that the tree with the filters is far superior, and I thank you for that ;) .

It looks beautiful as it is, but do you consider adding the table data to the SVG itself so we can keep it all as a one-thing downloaded for offline reading in the future?

Also, The table filtering features are really nice and help a lot, and I know it requires javascript for doing so, but would you consider maintaining a no-js copy of the full table without filters as an option?

Anyways thanks for keeping this as is, already!

@[email protected] What opsec to use with it?

Just mullvad and a xmr posting block?

What about how to make the nzbs show at the indexers?

Any guides on posting that you would recommend?

(PS: btw, I am a silent lover of your site, keep the good work, and congratulations for it)

Assuming you are from NewsDemon, I have a question, since newsdemon is a co-founder of a backbone (UsenetExpress):

Since the daily feed size bloated so much, isn't everyday cheaper to add a lot of older content instead of keeping retention up to date to the most?

Do you guys think about doing so?

I know you share stats about only a small percentage of downloads being old data, but there are so much good content available at old usenet that is lost to any other form of download these days (ISOs of full old DVDs that were never relaunched as Blu-Ray for instance).

Do you guys consider picking it up in the future? I mean, going some days back in retention looks cheaper that keeping a new day up. Ain't it?

They do have some "uniques", specially non-English content.

If you were curious, that's a good opportunity to try them out.

Please, with sugar on top: make this a plugin that can be integrated to qbittorrent or rtorrent.

Try to make your idea reach the seedboxes. This would be great for open-tracker seedboxes!

You can also use a socks5 server with container:gluetun and run qbt with 127.0.0.1 socks5. (not allowing it to connect to anything but that address in your firewall settings).

By the way you can do this with absolutely any socks5 supporting software (even browsers, ftp clients, etc).

Just set the firewall to allow the software executable to connect only to localhost/127.0.0.1 and you are done.

It's split tunnel under your control.

myip.wtf/json (gives nice info too)

Thank you so much for doing this and keeping it updated!

Denuvo is the apex of a long history of bad choices.

Maybe actually sell us the games in a way we really own it, without any sort of online activation/account/telemetry/data-gathering like when we could buy a disc and just use it, and it should all be ok.

I feel like a dinosaur every-time I think this nowadays, but what is so problematic with the "own as in physically own" that is so hard to implement? If they want to provide a service, sell a service.

In the past I used pirate versions of games I bought just to be able to play them offline, or because I did not agree with the terms of service. It is so much for our info, it goes beyond just knowing you are the real owner of the software copy: it comes to the point where it looks like it's to guarantee we are not its' owner.

Now some DRMs even destroy gaming performance and its just faster to use 'ked versions. I hope it changes somehow.

Thanks for answering, I'm not trying to circumvent these sites rules, but to actually better understand em.

I get it that they are probably defending themselves from attackers, abusers, or who knows what else. I just fear that needing people's real IP at time of registration (and even accumulating data that links this ip to the future use of the site) can become a big problem in the future, if something bad happens to them. I mean, they can even be forced to handle their users data, some sites have done that already, using it as "bail"/negotiation when pressured (Torrent Freak has some examples).

So I thought that since the problem could be some user causing harm to their sites, maybe having some other static ip address route (not a shared vpn address) could suffice. But I don't know if that's the case.

Thanks for your suggestion, are they ok with that or would it be considered cheating?

Hello, I would like some info about VPN usage at private trackers. I know it is a per-tracker policy but I notice many being a bit hostile toward em.

Example: A user would like to join a tracker, put a seedbox to help em seeding et al, but even while they allow VPN usage, they don't allow signup with the VPN on (and that absolutely defeats the reason of not having the user's real IP/time logged to a server that may be somehow attacked or forced to give theirs users details for some reason, even if that never happened before in such server). In that case the user would be de-"pseudonimizing" all their future use of the site via VPN since if their users details ever leak that could bind the future use of the site trough a VPN to the initial non-vpn IP address. This example affects every PHD sister sites, I believe.

So, I have some questions on that issue, if someone could help:

    1. What is the ideal way to proceed in such situation? Are socks5 or other methods better accepted to unbind the use of the tracker site to the user IP address? (I'm talking about the trackers not even being able to handle such information in case something goes wrong. Not about an ISP or whoever else. Legality is not the concern here, but the very existence of the info itself).
    1. Is there any place where we can find this info about trackers policies on VPNs? I did search but never found anything unified.
    1. What trackers you know that simply don't care about the use of VPN? Which ones "don't care" but asks you to tell them (configure) your vpn details? Which ones absolutely don't allow them?

Thanks to anyone who can shed a light on these questions!
