I just got into usenet and some of the files downloaded are ISOs. I’m trying to figure out the best way to convert them to mp4s so that I can play them through plex. I’m running on a headless arch server (Manjaro), and I’d prefer to keep the conversion there if possible.

Anyone have experience with this?

My god yes. The download speeds are so fast and I have never had issues with quality while using it. No more waiting 3 weeks to download a movie with 1 seeder.

If you have any questions, I can answer to the best of my ability.

How much is it? And do you use a VPN while connecting to it? Is it like a private torrent tracker?

[–] Eris@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I pay ~$10/mo for eweka(usenet provider) and nzbfinder.ws(usenet indexer). You do not need a VPN while connecting as long as you are using TLS when downloading. It's not really like a private tracker because it's not even torrenting. You're downloading direct from the usenet provider.
