  • Meanwhile in Germany...

    You're legally entitled to six weeks of continuous sick leave paid by your employer, after which your health insurer will take over the costs. If you've had sick leave for the same illness multiple times in the same year, these days will be accumulated. After six weeks of regular paid sick leave, you’ll receive Krankengeld (lit. 'sick money') for a maximum of 90 percent of your wage after taxes for up to 72 weeks.

  • Not really, especially when you use the 5000+ ones since that is nearing 14 years. Also, people re-upload old stuff all the time. If you want, you can give me some examples of what you think might not be available and I'll let you know if it's there.

  • I see what you're saying, and if that fits your use case, that's great. The main point is offering information to the OP though. We don't want them thinking Usenet is limited to only downloading the latest releases.

    It’s what makes the OP question more of a decision between wanting something as soon as possible with quick downloads vs wanting it any time outside of that initial period at whatever speed it’s available at.

    Since they're asking about usenet vs torrenting, this might be interpreted as usenet not being useful for older stuff. This is simply not the case with the vast majority of providers, assuming access to a good indexer or two.

  • What provider has such low retention? I've never seen such a thing. The lowest I can find is 600 days, with most being between 2000 and 5000.

    Also some corrections, the provider doesn't package anything together. The indexers do that in the form of an nzb file. Unraring is still necessary, but most download clients will do that for you.

  • Boy are you in luck! A quite decent indexer that is normally invite only just opened registrations for what I assume is a very limited time: DrunkenSlug. They have a free tier which is limited to 25 API hits and 5 downloads per day. For €15/year, that gets bumped up to 1000 API hits and 100 downloads per day.

    Another popular one that doesn't require an invite: NZBgeek. They don't have a free tier. I don't think they have any hard limits on API hits and downloads. Pricing is $6/6mo, $12/yr, $40/5yr and $80/lifetime.
