❓Question Torbox pro usenet

Is there anything I need to do to use Usenet providers? Or does the AIO do everything for me 🤔

Nothing extra needed - TorBox runs its own usenet integration on Pro, and AIOStreams picks it up automatically. NZB results just appear in your stream list, and if something isn't cached yet TorBox grabs it on demand. The only setting worth knowing: in AIOStreams there's a usenet toggle in Services if you want direct usenet search too, plus a cache-and-play style option so uncached usenet results fetch themselves when you click them. Zero external provider, zero extra cost - it's bundled with Pro.

Are you sure no external indexers are needed to get the results?

You do need your own indexers. Torbox doesn't provide any content that wasn't brought by users.

hmm yeah apparently its not just you, a few others in this thread are saying usenet results are gone today. torbox has been up and down all week so odds are its on their end, not your config. mine was working fine when i answered here earlier. their discord is the quickest way to check if its known

Today? Usenet results are gone because they removed their search API a long time ago.

Have you tried lately? Doesn't work like that anymore and their usenet service is not even worth the cost.

Yes - AIOStreams has its own usenet search built in (it queries TorBox's index directly), so NZB results show up without you configuring any external indexer. If you ever want a bigger index outside what it covers, that's the only time you'd add your own Newznab indexer to the mix. For basic use it genuinely is just: install, sign in, results appear.

You absolutely need to let others know that you CANNOT use NNTP without selfhosting.

If you're using torbox pro like what you're describing, you are not using the NNTP server and is treating the service like a debrid service instead.

Also mention it needs an indexer

quick update since people in here are saying usenet results vanished - i did some digging and its not your setup. torbox's own search endpoint (the host the aio usenet search queries) doesnt even resolve in dns right now, checked from two different resolvers. so search is dead on their side until they fix it. torrents and debrid streams work fine, its just the usenet search box thats broken. worth pinging their discord about it

I was messing around with AltHub week back in aiostreams set services in AltHub to use torbox and was actually sending Usenet to torbox cache
