Ultimate Windows Home Media Server Guide

Find Usenet Service Provider

I recommend Unlimited UsenetServer (2 week no risk free trial) as a primary service

Optionally you can have a block account to help fill missing blocks.

Find Usenet Indexer

The indexer you use is very important for making sure you get quality releases. A lot of these indexers are able to filter out spam and other garbage so you get what you want.

Choose Usenet Download Program

Remember you only need to choose either Sabnzbd or NZBGet. You are welcome to install both if you like. If you are worried about system resources then NZBGet is the wiser choice. Sabnzbd is older and is therefore more integrated with indexers for now though dognzb has integrated NZBGet.
