newznab friendly host

Can anyone recommend a vps provider that wont object to me running a newznab server for me and a few friends. I don't want to go to the hassle of setting it up and backfilling it for it then to be terminated.

I know its only a indexer, but can fully appreciate that some hosts might take objections to it...

Is anyone running one / can recommend a host that wouldn't have issues with it?

    I wouldn't have a problem with if you used that on UnmanagedServers.NET as long as you complied with the terms and acceptable use policies.

  • We have a few clients running it.

    Same here, as long as there are no complaints, it is ok.

  • Hm, looks interesting, will set that up public

  • @William said: Hm, looks interesting, will set that up public

    Would be interested in this.

    Couldn't care less. So long as it doesn't abuse resources and I don't get a DMCA.

    I'm sure you will make lots of people happy if you do this, since you got the know-how and technology/infrastructure to do so. But don't get yourself in potentially more trouble than you are (perhaps?) already are.
    It's nice, no great!, to see you trying/willing helping other people out, but also look after yourself William :)

  • Would the smallest kimsufi be any good for this?

  • I use the smallest KimSufi for this, works great.

    Do you use the regular version of newznab or the donationware one?

  • I agree that there are no problems as long as there's no complaints / DMCA.

    And also, can the free version get the regexes/backfill library on IRC?
    As I heard something like that?

    We have some newznab clients.

  • Free version doesn't get / autoupdate its regexp's. You need to manually add them.

    Same for backfill, torrents only supposed to be given to donators. That being said if you hunt to can find them.

    Donation version is a lot more polished imho. Also, if its for a private / personal index - do you really need the backfill.....

    Yes, for my TV shows, previous episodes in the past.

    Any chance somebody could help me out (pm or something) ?
