I am trying to capture costs for starting into homelab/selfhosting.

VPNs, search engines, absolutely everything and anything.

Since you are paying, it seems to be worth it. I read a lot of mixed opinions online. What do you find there that you can't on torrent sites? Or is it just ease of use?

Ease of use (once it's set up). Getting it set up is the tricky part, but it's just tedious more than anything else.

I actually have two subscriptions, one for the newsgroup and one for the indexer. The newsgroup access is monthly while the indexer is annual, like $12/yr or something, stupid cheap.

Absolutely worth it.
