Pick one: Ombi / Overseerr / Jellyserr

edit: fixed Ombi misspelling

If you are looking for German (or German + English dual language) content it can be very hard to find stuff on public torrent trackers and it's pretty hard to get onto private German trackers - but don't worry, there is a solution:

Usenet and the indexer sceneNZBs.com that specialises in German releases have got you covered!

If you want to automate the search for German Dual Language content using Radarr/Sonarr I made a guide (that also works for torrents too): https://github.com/PCJones/radarr-sonarr-german-dual-language

Short answer: no

Long answer: yes, but they are basically useless. Except for some indexers that cost money but also have a free plan where you are capped at like 5 downloads per day.

That really depends on your connection. On my EU based VPS with dedicated 1 GBit I get 70-105MB/s when connecting to their EU server

edit: Try playing around with your number of connections, you can have both not enough or too many.

I already responded to you on reddit, but for Usenet you really don't need a VPN, only for torrents. I also told you to just use Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr and SABnzbd but since you also want something to play the items definitely keep Jellyfin. I also recommend to keep Jellyseerr as it's a great way to request and find new movies and shows.

I'll paste my original response from reddit here just in case someone else is looking for the same thing:

Assuming you want to fully automate it by using Sonarr and Radarr you can use my fork of docker-media-center which has SabnZBD for Usenet downloads:

https://github.com/PCJones/docker-media-center

Sadly I haven't got the time yet to update the documentation but if you know docker you should be able to figure it out, if not I'll gladly help.

You'll want to remove all services you don't want from the docker compose file (so for a simple Usenet Setup you'll only want Radarr, Sonarr, Prowlarr, SabnZBD).

Important stuff missing from the documentation:

• the git clone link in the documentation is still pointing to the original repository, make sure to clone mine

• at some point docker will tell you that it can't find the network global or local (one of these, I forgot which. But it'll tell you) When that happens all you have to do is execute docker network create global (or local)

• after starting all services (especially SabnZBD) you'll need to execute the file set_sabnzbd_hostname.sh once and then restart the SabnZBD container.

• In the sabnZBD Folder settings you'll need to set the temp folder to data/temp (it doesn't have to be temp, you can chose another name).

• In the sabnZBD Folder settings you'll need to set the completed download folder to data/downloads

• In the sabnZBD Categories settings you'll need to set the Folder/Path to data/downloads/radarr for movies and to data/downloads/sonarr for TV and anime

• you'll have to add sabnZBD as download client in both Radarr and Sonarr. Just use sabnzbd as hostname

Once set up and configured it works like a charm.

And again, if you need assistance just let me know and I'll help

Usenet providers:

Ewaka is the go to provider, however they are based in the netherlands so your speed may vary. An alternative would be frugal usenet as they also do have a US based server, but Ewakas retention is way better. If you use SABnzbd as downloader you could even add both frugal and ewaka with the same priority if you can't max out your speed with one. Maybe you can try ewaka for 1 month first and see if it's good enough for you.

I saw that you mentioned giganews, however based on a quick search I saw that they seem to have a really bad reputation nowadays

Usenet Indexers:

I can't tell you anything about nzbplanet as I never used it, but nzbGeek is a good start. You'll need a paid membership for every indexer though, a free membership won't allow for *arr automatisation.

https://ninjacentral.co.za/ just opened registrations yesterday, they are also quite good.

https://drunkenslug.com is great indexer, however registrations are closed at the moment - you can easily find an invite though if you lurk around here.

It's the same, it just adds support for jellyfin

Since you are looking for German movies you might be interested in my German DL Sonarr & Radarr guide:

Does the dub even exist :D?

The provider is there to access the usenet, just like you pay your internet provider to access the internet (well, not exactly like that in a technical sense, but you get what I mean I hope). And yes, while there are some free indexers they are basically useless - so you do have to pay for both, usenet access and an indexer. It should still be cheaper than a seedbox though.

To start I’d recommend frugal Usenet for 40$ a year if you are mostly downloading new stuff:

https://billing.frugalusenet.com/signup/neQeZxl

If you are also downloading a lot of older (think 10+ years) stuff you should get ewaka for 48€/year (or keep an eye out for the 36€ year deal that pops up a few times per year):

Let me know if you need more help :)

edit: good indexers to start are NZBgeek (open registration) or Drunkenslug (closed registration, but there are a lot of invites going around). Both cost 15-20€ per year

They are obfuscated and encoded so it's not easy to find the files. Since they are encoded they basically look like random noise instead of actual video files (very simplified)

Looks like first and foremost you need a good(that means paid) indexer. NZBgeek and Drunkenslug come to mind as a good start - they both cost 15-20€/year. Drunkenslug registrations are closed right now but there are a lot of invites floating around. NZBgeeks registration is open.
