I have only been use public (for about 20 years), but I have been curious about private trackers for a while. I have a good grasp of the concept, seeding requirements, etc. What would be one or two recommended private trackers to start with? (for TV, movie, music)

That's the hard part, getting in. You basically have to beg and jump through hoops to get an invite. I'd rather just pay for Usenet, lol.

You got a link to a good guide for understanding the ins and outs of Usenet? I torrented a lot in the mid to late 2000s but then stopped. Working on building up my collection again. Was looking into Usenet. Found a couple free indexers and got NZBGet. But nothing would download. Figured out the other day I needed a provider in addition to the indexer.

So like basics… you pay for a provider. Then you get/paid for indexers and link those to the provider, then you can download stuff with NZBGet?

Normally I would have searched for guides like that in Reddit, but yeah….

This was the guide I used. https://blog-harveydelaney-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/blog.harveydelaney.com/configuring-your-usenet-provider-and-indexer-with-sonarr-radarr/amp/?amp_gsa=1&amp_js_v=a9&usqp=mq331AQIUAKwASCAAgM%3D#amp_tf=From%20%251%24s&aoh=16884082633644&referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com&ampshare=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.harveydelaney.com%2Fconfiguring-your-usenet-provider-and-indexer-with-sonarr-radarr%2F
