  • Usenet requires an indexer and a provider. An indexer indexes content. A provider is a server that hosts the content. Content is split into 1MB chunks.

    The manual way. You look for content you want on the website of the indexer and download the nzb file. You download the nzb file, which a list of the 1MB chunks and put it in your usenet download software. The downloader then downloads it.

    The automated way. There is a software suite called *arr. It’s not exclusive to Usenet; you can also use it with torrents. You search for the content you’re interested in and the software does the rest.

    Trash-guides and servarr are popular guides.
