Hi,

Sorry if this has been posted before but I'm looking at trying Usenet instead of torrents.

I've done some Googling and honestly, it's a little overwhelming knowing what Usenet provider to use, where to get quality indexers and which download client would be the best.

If anyone has any resources or advice to help me sail the Usenet seas I would be eternally grateful!

I guess it depends on where you’re from. As a German I only use the 3 biggest German NZB boards which are also free to use and they all redirect us to the downloads of the indexers mentioned. That's why I assumed they were the biggest.

I just found out they're not and that there's way more popular indexers which you have to pay for which is hilarious to me.

Hilarious? Why are you so smug? Those indexers have so much more than the ones you listed
