Nyuu VS sabnzbd

Hopefully that slowly stops being the standard: https://github.com/animetosho/Nyuu/wiki/Stop-RAR-Uploads

Can someone eli5 how to do it? I've looked at https://github.com/animetosho/Nyuu/wiki/Usenet-Uploaders but I don't know to how to install these. The github links on that page are confusing to me as I don't know where to click to actually download the programs.

* does depend a bit on how crazy/complex you want to go I suppose. My NNTP implementation ended up being a lot less straightforward, as I put a lot of effort into error handling / retry functionality (which I don't see implemented in most libraries), and speed optimised yEnc isn't exactly straightforward either

It's used as a poor man's BitTorrent equivalent for FTP, in some prominent sharing circles. Of course, BitTorrent exists, but getting some people to adopt technology invented this millennium can be difficult. It's also still used by many Usenet uploaders likely due to misconceptions on how the system works. Again, it makes little technical sense today, but it's an old environment with a lot of old traditions.

That's the conclusion I came to, but contrary to expectations, I saw newer uploaders lowering it to 700k for compatibility instead. - https://github.com/demanuel/NewsUP/pull/67 - https://github.com/animetosho/Nyuu/issues/1

You do not need to split your file. RARs are unnecessary on Usenet https://github.com/animetosho/Nyuu/wiki/Stop-RAR-Uploads

In theory, it's possible if there's no missing articles and uploaders stop RARing uploads.

All the posting tools make a NZB file as they upload https://github.com/animetosho/nyuu

Yet another reason to get uploaders to stop RARing uploads. Just spreading the word around ;)

You need a usenet provider like Fastusenet or whatever you prefer, then you need a client like sabnzb and then a search provider like NzbGeek.

Download client = sabnzbd

Get sabnzbd, this is kind of like your torrent client, you use this to download the .nzb files, there are many more clients if you prefer another one, here is the tutorial on how to setup SabNZBd

You are using 4.0.1? Then this is relevant: https://github.com/sabnzbd/sabnzbd/discussions/2474 It is also listed in the https://sabnzbd.org/wiki/advanced/highspeed-downloading page.

SABnzbd 4 has been rewritten and optimized to such a degree that the GIL isn't really an issue any longer. On some multicore CPUs it even seems to spread the load better and give higher speed than nzbget. In your case you may need to tweak the config variables described here: https://github.com/sabnzbd/sabnzbd/discussions/2474

There are multiple settings that can tweak performance, see: https://github.com/sabnzbd/sabnzbd/discussions/2474 We are trying to find the most optimal default settings, so you can help us by letting us know the results on your system!
