Don't services like Easy News and Giga News provide one simple solution in the form of server access, searchable content, and a news client that organizes and downloads everything? That's how I used it in the past, but those services are $10-$20 per month. Do you mind sharing what you use?

There're better provider deals on r/usenet. They usually overcharge if you don't use discounts.

One subscription provider is good and then few non-expiring block accounts on a different backbone helps donwloading content that migjt've been DMCA'd on your main provider. A block with many GB's lasts a long tims since (almost) all parts of a movie are on the main subscription provider.

And then you need an indexer that usually costs around 15$ per year. Those are like torrent tracker. E.g. DrunkenSlug has currently open registrations.

But to get started a subscription provider and an indexer should be enough.

With sabnzbd (download client), Radarr, Sonarr and Prowlarr and Thrash Guides everything can be automated if you want.

I'm using nzbgeek to find stuff. Then put the links it returns into eweka - a usenet provider. I'm new to this, so I'm just dipping my toe in to make sure it works. Currently it does but I'm sure there are better deals if you look around.
