sabnzbd VS premiumizer

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!

not sure how well it works but you can try premiumizer https://github.com/piejanssens/premiumizer

I'm using Premiumizer, in my case in Docker.

I use this tool. https://github.com/piejanssens/premiumizer

You can also try https://github.com/piejanssens/premiumizer but many items get download to the cloud 1st and consumes 2x the points. I also find many files are failing and it downloads files multiple times wasting points.

For Usenet I'd highly recommend using NZBHydra2 and premiumizer. Configure all your indexers in Hydra, set it to save NZBs to a blackhole folder, then configure Premiumizer to watch that blackhole.

I used Premuimizer (https://github.com/piejanssens/premiumizer) to download everything from my cloud in a few hours.
