Suggestions on how to download from specific newsgroup(s)

Post by lvving »

I know this isn't really within the realm of SABNZBD but I am hoping for some ideas. My current setup consists of 4 indexers and 3 usenet providers. My setup has been working very well for several years and I don't really plan on changing that. My issue is that none of my indexers index certain newsgroups, for example any of the mame groups, so there really is no way to only use SABNZBD to maintain a current mame setup. I have to still use a competing product and pay them for their indexing so I can search for and grab the latest mame roms and CHDs. Unless I am missing something obvious, does anyone have any suggestions on how to use SABNZBD and eliminate my other product and their indexing service?
Thanks.

MAME is arcade emulator software. It is roughly 600G of ROMS and other files.

Ah, MAME.

> My issue is that none of my indexers index certain newsgroups

When I search MAME on nzb.su, I do get results. Also on https://www.binsearch.info/?q=mame&max= ... 00&server=

SABnzbd (as its name implies) can only work with NZBs.
