The TRaSH Guides are an excellent resource for setup and best practices so that was smart of you to choose that as your resource. The Servarr Wiki is also a good resource and chock full of good information and guides. In combination they should give you all you need to know when it comes to the specific servers they cover. You are already sharing good knowledge with others, so kudo's to you!

Prowlarr is a great server once you start collecting more than one indexer. It becomes your one stop interface to add, remove and update all of your indexers and then integrates all of them, automatically, within radarr, sonarr, et al with ease. It makes keeping your indexers updated and current in all the other arrs a breeze. In addition, its integrated multi-indexer manual searches can also be extremely helpful when your other arrs aren't finding what you need (and / or the content you are after isn't media specific, etc). Prowlarr is a very useful server overall for these tasks.

Overseerr is a pretty amazing server as well as it integrates surfacing and searching for multiple different media types you or your family, friends might want... and it does so in a very family friendly and easy to use way. Its request system is excellent as well, allowing you to manage what otherwise would be a much more difficult task. My wife and kids can't live without it as the individual arrs, etc get a bit complicated for them to navigate.

I don't want to turn you off on nzb360 though... it serves its own useful purpose in allowing you to manage all your arr servers from one interface (specially important when it comes to sab, etc as your downloader). Time is a finite and precious resource, of course, so its understandable you chunking these things out and prioritizing. None of these servers or apps are mandatory for automation, of course... just simply useful tools with their separate purposes.

Have a great holiday!

What are some good offers especially on block accounts to act as backup? Can I just add them to my SABnzbd as second priority? I'm pretty new to usenet

Best to use one of the Arrs while it's fresh.

cba123 wrote: ↑ I was also thinking of buying a block from another backbone or two to see if they have the missing blocks. When a takedown request is issued, do each provider take down the same articles or do they each take down different blocks, so that you can better completions using multiple but different backbones?

If longer retention has become a non issue with such rapid takedowns on even Eweka, then I may just switch to a cheaper provider.
