So, i want to give a try to usenet world.

I have the *Arr setup with torrents now, and works great, but why not experiment a bit further?

So many questions...

First of all: will i find italian contents? Or its all US/English stuff?

I got an account on NZBFind, bit thats only an indexer right? I need also to find an access provider to usenet? If so, which access provider do you recomend? I want somewhere i can test for a few weeks or a month or so before committing, so no credit card upfront.

Update: trough techradar got an offer on newshosting for 5.99/mo with 3 monts free. Paid with PayPal then cancelled the recurrent immediately (so paid 0 so far). But at the moment not yet sure i made it working in my *Arr setup properly.

torrents are typically 1-2mbps maybe 3 if you’re lucky and if you’re not it can take days to complete

That's not my experience at all, I'm usually downloading at around 200-350Mbps (can't do more that's the limit of my connection) on TV shows etc.

I've occasionally run into higher rate torrents like that, but they were few and far between in the 7ish years I ran my media server on torrents.

Usenet though, the speed is always consistent regardless of the content.
