I just got into usenet and some of the files downloaded are ISOs. I’m trying to figure out the best way to convert them to mp4s so that I can play them through plex. I’m running on a headless arch server (Manjaro), and I’d prefer to keep the conversion there if possible.

Anyone have experience with this?

It seems pretty nice so far. I was in a few private trackers for movies and TV and they were fine but I stopped using them when my VPN apparently failed me and I got called out by my ISP, so I’m really digging not having to worry about seeding. Also, some private trackers have a weird amount of drama and it’s kind of off-putting.

I still use MAM though, it’s by far the best tracker around and I love the community and books it provides.

Any, part of the improvements I’m seeing I think is just because I’m finally using radarr and sonarr, I think you can technically use these with torrents too, so this quality of life improvement could probably have been achieved without Usenet. But not having to worry about seeding is very nice.
