bonzi Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 A lot of people around here seem to prefer usenet over bittorrent. To be honest, I have always used bittorrent/flexget to get the tv shows I want and it has worked out pretty well for me. I live in Canada but will be moving to the US soon. Anyone care to discuss the pros and cons of bittorrent vs usenet? Quote Link to comment
batt01 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 . Top two advantages are speed and security. If you have a 100mbit connect, you can download at you max. Second is no warning letters from you ISP. Really good software available to automate and mangage your data. http://www.sickbeard.com/usenet.html Sickbeard for TV shows. Couchpotato for movies, and Headphones for music. Sabnzbd handles all the downloading. Quote Link to comment
fnwc Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Keep in mind that a bunch of the indexers are going down like sinking ships... I'm waiting a few weeks and seeing what rises from the ashes, but in the meantime SickBeard is basically kaput. Quote Link to comment

I did have trouble with some shows, but those were due to DMCA takedowns. And if you search hard for them, you might find some headers floating around out there. Quote Link to comment

Hmm, I don't want to do any manual searching though. With bittorrent, flexget, and tvnamer I can automate searching for tv shows, downloading them, and renaming and organizing. From what I understand Sickbeard is even better at this...what are your experiences? Quote Link to comment

Sickbeard is not kaput It works just fine even without the external indexers because it has its own indexer just select sickbeard indexer in the settings and you're good to go. It will work for all new material. For backlog, you need an external indexer, for which there a bunch out there, none I found as good as nzbmatrix, but they will get better Quote Link to comment
