Anyone utilizing this form of technology, and what's your source?

I'm all dialed in with Sickbeard (tv) and Couch Potato (movies) with SABNzbd managing my downloads through usenet, but finding reliable NZBs has been an issue.

SABNzbd does all the downloading. I have been using usenet-crawler but it's been down a lot lately. I also try to use oznzb, but a lot of the nzbs are incomplete or offline.

it is. you just tell it what you want, and when it's available it downloads it and sends you an email when it's ready.

I'm a big fan of "episodes," but I no longer subscribe to Showtime, plus I also always forget when it's on. The nzb method through sickbeard (tv) also does what couch potato (movies) does; as long as your computer is up, running and available to go on line, it searches every predetermined time increment for new nzbs. If it finds one, it downloads it, and then lets you know it's in the folder you downloaded too. Much safer than torrents, but you have to have a usenet account to help manage the glut of bandwidth (and also to conceal what you're doing from your isp). It's always nice to get that email and tell me I have a new episode of "episodes," to watch. This is also how I get "Game of Thrones," without HBO.

So, would this be a viable way to watch series like house of Cards, Orange is the New Black, etc? Wife's been wanting to watch them, but at the rate we get through shows now, I'd rather get them all at once on local storage. If they'd just sell Blu-rays I'd gladly buy 'em, I just don't need another subscription I won't use to its full value.

Couch Potato, SABNzbd and SickBeard are all free. There are some nzb sources that are also free, but it's the secret hidden pay ones where you'll find everything. A lot of nzb sites that are pay sites want payment via bitcoin only, probably because it's harder to trace. The free ones have broken or incomplete nzbs (or the owner of the program gets the nzbs they can find removed) a lot of times, so it can sometimes be frustrating to complete a series (I'm having trouble getting GoT S3:E10).

https://www.usenet-crawler.com/ is the best free one I have found so far, but it's down sometimes... and like I said, some of the nzbs are incomplete.

Downloads. Though not nzb's. There is a plugin for XBMC that works great!
