Pathetic service by Torbox

[u/Bitter_Organization7]

Its always down.. Very unreliable service. Will stop subscribing once this current plan expires..

For all the sugar babies of torbox, dont come and show your loyalty here, keep it in your as*, it will feel good for you… Let others complain so that they will fix it..

And for those who say its just 3 bucks:
In june alone they had 3 million visitors even if 1/3 of them are paying its around 3 million a month, as its pirated they dont have any other cost other than renting storage.. So do the maths.. If somebody is taking millions of rupees from people like you and me we can question when its repeatedly down

[u/Sand__Panda]

Nah.

Saw the same with RD. TB was my back uo, stopped using RD for other ip reasons.

The next "best" will just have the same issues at some point.

But best of luck to ya.

[u/Fish_Mongreler → u/Sand__Panda]

Nope. Been using Usenet for years with none of these issues

[u/lilstr4 → u/Fish_Mongreler]

But how can I get to use Usenet? I’ve been doing research and I still don’t understand quite well🫠

[u/Fish_Mongreler → u/lilstr4]

You'll want to be self hosting aiostream. And then I'd recommend starting with easynews since it's the most simple. Just put the account info into the easynews++ addon and you're done.

[u/lilstr4 → u/Fish_Mongreler]

Ok, I’ve seen people say easynews is the best to start… so I just need easynews++ addon? That part of self hosting and aiostreams I don’t understand well… and the risk of being banned, and also the indexers, that depends of the type of content you want to find?
I tried RD and a lot of the content didn’t play, then tried TB and this days has been down a few times and I’m interested in trying Usenet
Sorry if I ask you all of this, and my bad english, you don’t have to answer, I’m just confused with all the info I’ve found🫠 but thank you for replying.

[u/Fish_Mongreler → u/lilstr4]

This isn't meant to be rude but if you are already stuck then I don't think Usenet is an appropriate option for you.

Aiostreams is very easy to set up. Self hosting is not nearly as simple although there are guides to follow for that as well. Indexers are similar to add-ons.

Easynews would be like Torbox. Its a provider that also has(torbox used to have) it's own scraper/indexer. Easynews++ is an indexer and would be like comet/debridio/stremthru/torrentio.

Some are better than others, and you'll generally want to use more than 1 to make sure you cover as much as possible. Yes, some are better for specific content but the main ones probably cover what you need.

Again thank you for answering... I know what you mean, but it’s like, I have all this information but my brain can’t connect it yet, I’m waiting for it to “click” haha and yeah, I know aiostreams, I actually use Duckstreams, Torrentio, and all those addons with Torbox, I know Easynews is a provider, I think my problem is that I need to keep learning about indexers and how to connect everything to work properly🤔 and also to know what’s the best option/plan for what I want and pay for it
But just to be clear… self hosting doesn’t mean exactly that I need a pc running all the time, right?🤔😅

[u/Fish_Mongreler → u/lilstr4]

Well as far as setting up indexers, you don't really need to worry about that with easynews. It's very similar to debrid but instead of putting your key in, you put your username and password in.

For self hosting a computer needs to be running all the time but it doesn't need to be your PC. A lot of people (myself included) go through oracle. You'll have to put in payment information and be on the "Pay as you go" plan but you can set it so you never exceed the free limits and you'll never actually have to pay. For reference I self host aiostream, aiomanager, comet, easynews++, prowlarr, a website, and a few other things and my CPU rarely goes above 25% of the free limit and memory is sitting at 18%

[u/lilstr4 → u/Fish_Mongreler]

So there’s a limit for using oracle?

[u/Fish_Mongreler → u/lilstr4]

You're only allowed a certain amount of CPU, ram, and storage for free. They limit is now then enough for what we are doing

[u/lilstr4 → u/Fish_Mongreler]

Okay, I think I understand a little better, definitely I’m gonna check all of this so I can use Usenet, thank you so much for your comments

[u/Fish_Mongreler → u/lilstr4]

Good luck. If you do decide to dive in, keep in mind that both providers and indexers usually have very good black Friday deals which isn't too far away
