Have been thinking about this on and off for a few years... Private trackers seemed like slightly too much hassle for the marginal benefit over semi-public trackers like nyaa.si and rutracker, which have about 90% of what I want media-wise
Just so NZB, everything is so much faster. Pain in the ass to set up but once you get two indexers (can get lifetime passes so it's a one time outlay), an unlimited acct, and 2-3 backup accts for when you need larger coverage, you can pretty much get anything immediately.
hmm, can't think of any though the trash guides are good for setting up your *arr's.
you want to get 2-3 good indexers, 2-3 accounts (look at who their peers are, you want non-overlapping ones -- your primary account = unlimited, then you buy coverage on the other two), && then set up sonarr, lidarr, radarr, and maybe prowlarr and sickbeard/sabnzbd, with a DL client like NZBGet.

FIRST RULE ABOUT USENET IS etc.
1) sign up for a usenet provider, e.g. https://www.newsgroup.ninja (there are lots of them which are all on the same handful of backbones)
2) sign up for an indexer (no idea what the best one is these days, I've had the same subscription for ages on a site thats been closed off for a while. you can find up to date suggestions on le reddit)
3) setup up sabnzbd (or similar tool) and make sure your provider works
4) setup a local app like sonarr for organizing all this shit+searching for shows and make sure your indexer works
step 4 is technically optional as you can just use the indexers directly (in most cases, some are api-only), but if you're downloading more than the occasional movie it's well worth it as otherwise it becomes a pain in the ass to manage
