Looking for good USENET primer (lemm.ee)

I used to spend a lot of time on news:// protocol back in the 90s, but haven't touched it for good 20 years or so.

Could anyone point me to a good primer on how to use USENET for piracy? Looking for advice on client software, or webapps, good services worth paying the subscription that will give me access to all the right newsgroups and archives.

Last time I used news, all this stuff was free, so I'm at a bit of a loss on what's worth paying for.

Btw, I did try looking for answers before turning to Lemmy, but ended up with just a ton of SEO garbage articles designed to serve ads, waste time and provide no real answers :(

My current set up is Eweka (usenet provider) and nzbgeek (indexer). I then run docker containers; nzbget (downloader), radarr, sonarr & lidarr (films, TV and music). I watched a few YouTube videos on how to set them up and have been very satisfied.

All the downloads automatically move to my NAS, and my jellyfin/Plex servers are pointed at them. The great thing about the "arrs" is that (if set up correctly) they rename and organise your media in a way that makes them easily identified by Plex/jellyfin, so all you have to do is say, I want movie "x" and then 20 minutes later you can watch it via Plex/jellyfin.
