I am currently trying out 15 connections. Then keep adding 2 more and testing until you maximize your speed. Regarding connections, one recommendation is to start with 6 connections and check your speed. Go ahead and populate the fields: Active, Name, Level, Host providers server address), usenet account username, usenet account password, encryption, and connections.

Check with your provider on options, but these two options should work fine for most. I recommend using the encryption option (SSL) of yes and using port 443. I leave group at 0, but put them in different “levels” in NZBGet as nearest 0, next nearest 1, and furthest 2. In this example, I will setup three different country servers US, NL, and DE.

Check with your Usenet Provider to see if they offer direct links.

In this example, I am using Ninja-US for the name and using their direct address for their US server. Start with making sure your first entry, Server 1 is set to active. On the NEWS-SERVERS page, this is where you will add your usenet server(s). On the PATHS page (tabs on left side), I just tweaked the first three boxes: On the main nzbget page, click Settings along the top. Open up the NZBGet web interface at The default username is nzbget and the password is tegbzn6789 In general, look out around Black Friday/ Cyber Monday for awesome deals too. I appreciate they are active in the community, and please note that I am not receiving a referral bonus. Currently, News.Ninja is offering a special deal on Reddit at only $5.99 month to month without a commitment. It is a good idea to test them out before signing up for a long term deal. Some sites may require you to pay a full year in advanced to get the best deal. You will need to read up and decide what provider that you want to use. In our example, we will be using Newsgroup.ninja. Before proceeding, you will need a usenet provider account. In the past, I recommended following the guide by our friends at HTPC Guides for the general setup. The settings in this guide go along with our guide “Setting up Docker on a Synology NAS”. The following guide was last edited using NZBGet 18.1.
