Probably here.

Usenight is my current cheapest/fav for all new content. 20Euro for a year? Find me a better deal. I'll wait. (And payable in crypto!)

Time machine + $100 for a lifetime subscription to nzbgeek. I got a lifetime subscription a couple months before they removed the option, only had it for a few months now but well worth the money already. Most of my shows, movies, and music come from it (supplemented by torrenting)

You're in Aus right? How are your speeds?

I currently use both NewsgroupNinja and NewsDemon combined but still cant get past about half a gig a second but it very well may be a limitation in my download server somewhere.

Bruh back in my days we were happy if Usenet and Torrents went to half a Meg a second!

Oh man, I feel you, I was on dial up well into the 2000's and the first time I had anything better than a couple of megabit on crappy DSL with bad lines was just a couple of years ago when I was finally able to get 100/40. now I have fibre with a gigabit down, but still only 50meg upload.

I max out my 100 down, still not able to get fiber here.

Half a gig? Doesn't sound like a problem to me! sounds like you are hitting ISP limits maybe?. Isnt it ~600/700 average?

I's not a problem at all, it's pretty sweet, just getting only about 400-500 mbits when I can get over 900 combined when testing with torrents and other services. ABB say they absolutely, unequivocally do not throttle usenet. So I just suspect it is a limitation of my server setup and I'm too lazy to try to find the cause..
