Don't you need to spread your accounts across multiple providers due to the partial uploads in other to get a complete archive?
Last time I looked, ever the .par technology to deal with missing segments was useless. I got the impression I'd need multiple accounts to have a chance at getting a complete download
What indexer(s) are you using?
I think it was newsbin? This was years ago admittedly...
Wow it really was ages ago if you mention newsbin as an indexer. Nowadays, indexer usually refers to privately run services that index nzbs for you. Most require a subscription fee, but are worth it because without them you can't really find anything manually anymore since the file names are all obfuscated. This really helps prevent copyright takedowns.
Yeah, I don't think there were discrete indexers.
