I agree on the horrible experience. However h264 rips in Usenet lack in quality from my perspective. Data rates for 1080 are often too low and close to 720 rips. For me rips 8-12GB in size deliver the best ratio for my screen solution, and are efficient for storing.
H265 would be better but my hardware lacks in decoding capability (raspberry 3).
Everyone has different requirements driven by storage, hardware etc. One click Hoster costs 50 EUR/year for 170GB per day. Usenet indexer 5Eur/Month + 25EUR for 150GB
Glad if you can advice on cheaper solutions. And good private trackers!
How so, its basically the same content (same releases).
You are right the prices of usenet providers went up everywhere, but you still can get Frugal for $40 a year. That's an unlimited subscription of course, unlike file hosters.

Utmost appreciated! Thanks
