I used Newsgroups/NNTP back in the days when dinosaurs roamed the land, and I can see the principle is still pretty much the same. I’m looking at dipping my toe in but without breaking the bank. I have been reading the FAQ like a good boy and I have decided on:

• Frugal 50$ a year + 300 GB Blocknews for retention

• 6 TB lifetime block from Bulknews

I’ll be using SABnzbd and I have a sub already on NZBPlanet.

I’m in Europe, if that makes a difference to any of this. I would like to know if I have missed anything, or if there are better options given my location. I’m also looking, as mentioned, for a cheap yet reliable starting point.

All advice gratefully received :-)
