I've recently got the arrs under my command and they work great with with qbittorrent and prowlarr for public trackers. But since there's almost no public German trackers, there is just use et or private trackers. Getting into a private tracker seems hard and I have never used usenet before, so what is the best course of action here?

I've looked at it, but there ain't much for public trackers. So for it to work with the arrs it's still private tracker or usenet i guess.

scenenzbs is great, also has many files with English+German audio, marked as DL or dual language.

I literally wouldn't pirate anything if it weren't for scenenzbs (and houseofusenet because they sync their nzb over to scene for the API-Users).

They have everything i want in german and top quality. Never ever have i had such a complete german collection of movies and shows and audiobooks. My wife and i are into audiobooks and they have 99% of the stuff we want.

For everything else i download the .aax file from audibile with another 30 day test account and grab my activation bits to convert to .aac^^

So I need a usenet provider (news hosting seems good?) to enter into the download-client (nzbget recommended?) and an indexer (scenenzbs) to enter into prowlarr and I'm good to go? I don't need a VPN for usenet, right?

[–] Rykzon@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 year ago

Yes, sometimes it might help to have multiple providers on different backbones if you run into availability issues.

There are currently no legal cases in Germany against Usenet like with copyrighted material and torrenting, that's mostly because you don't distribute with Usenet.

You don't need the prowlarr part. But yeah just choose a provider (paid), sign in to the the client and download from an indexer. Then unpack the files.

[–] Chewy7324@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

I found prowlarr great because it provides stats about how the different indexer perform. This makes it easier to decide which providers I don't need.

If you're using Radarr/Sonarr, I can't recommend this guide enough if you want german + english dual language media. https://github.com/PCJones/radarr-sonarr-german-dual-language

Usenet is great once I got SceneNZB recommended. They include content from House of Usenet, a forum for german usenet (getting media from forums can't be easily automated, which is the big drawback of HoU).

I also found DrunkenSlug recommended, but everything I wanted in german was also on SceneNZB anyway.

scenenzbs.com It's paid only if you want to use the API.

[–] sylverstream@lemmy.nz 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I just had a quick search on usenet, couldn't find German dubbed results for popular movies.

I know German dubbed is very popular in Germany, but I think English audio + German subtitles is your best option.

[–] Floete@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So that just leaves private trackers. Thanks for taking a look.

[–] Arcos@feddit.de 6 points 1 year ago

Try scenenzbs There is a lot of German stuff, also new movies

This site get's always down, have you tips how to maneuver the block?

[–] 5714@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 year ago

You probably have a faulty DNS server relying on copyright.

Getting into a private tracker seems hard

Application signup on TSC or WoT.

[–] DarkwinDuck@feddit.de 0 points 1 year ago

mygully dot com. You need to log in but it has a lot of stuff. Not via torrent usually tough.
