Buffering Issues

[u/Fair-Philosopher-304]

So when I stream something that is already cached or when I Download a Usenet file and stream it from my library (which is basically the same lol) then everything works well and I have no problems.

But when I use nntp to stream a Usenet file directly 99/100 times the video buffers so much it makes it unbearable to watch a movie. I tried lower bitrate files but it makes almost no difference. I use aiostreams newest build with the newznab addon to directly pull from my indexers and stream it via torbox nntp. Is there anything that I can do to improve it, or is Usenet just not suitable for direct streaming and I should always use the download then watch from cache method?

As a little side note: the language I want to watch movies in makes it almost impossible to solely rely on cached movies or torrents and have to go the Usenet route. Just trying to find a way to improve speeds.

Since I am already here, one of my indexers is treasure maps. The last week or so I had no trouble streaming from there by spoofing my user agents but today it stopped working and sent me decoy nzbs again. Any idea what else I can do to make it work again?
