In tutorials this you will learn how to download with the program SpotNet 2.0. It is good to know that SpotNet 2.0 is a completely new version and has no relation to the old, well-known SpotNet version, also called SpotNet Classic. SpotNet 2.0 offers a renewed interface, which makes it easier to find and download content. In the following steps we will show you how to install SpotNet 2.0 and use it optimally for your downloads.
I recommend using SpotNet Classic. It has no ads, gets regular updates, and has better support for extracting files. SpotNet 2.0 unfortunately has some limitations; for example, it doesn’t always extract everything correctly, and you can’t set a password unless you connect SpotNet 2.0 to NZBGet. SpotNet Classic provides a more user-friendly and stable experience.”
You can use SpotNet 2.0 and SpotNet classic on the same computer.

You can see this in the bottom right corner.
This is really the big nonsense. Because you don’t upload anything to the newsgroups. I do recommend you. To use SSL from your Usenet provider. If you have SSL enabled. Then the traffic between you and your Usenet provider cannot be viewed.
A VPN is only useful. If you are going to upload content to the newsgroups.
It is unfortunately not possible to disable advertising in SpotNet 2.0. This is one of the reasons to use SpotNet Classic,

Set up news server 2.0 SpotNet
When you start SpotNet 2.0 for the first time, you will receive a message to set up the news server. If you want to change this. Then you do that in the following way.

Go to Edit and chooseProvider. If your Usenet provider is not listed. Then choose Other.
The details of your Usenet provider. You can often find it on the website of your Usenet provider. If you don’t have a Usenet provider. Then you can use a free news server. I don’t recommend this at all. But it can be enough to pick up spots.
Option 1 Set NZBGet as download program
I’m going to set up NZBget as a download program in SpotNet 2.0. You must of course have NZBGet installed. If you haven’t already, see theNZBGet tutorial.

Go to Editand then Settings.

Go to the Advanced Downloads tab. The address is 127.0.0.1 if NZBGet is installed on the same computer. But I use my NAS to download. So I set ip address of my Nas. If you have NZBGet installed on another device. Then make sure that the ip address is reserved for your device. Otherwise, it may be that after restarting your device that the ip address is no longer correct. This can also happen after a reboot of your modem.
Option 2 Use SpotNet 2.0 download program I do not recommend this

This SpotNet currently has limitations when it comes to extracting files, which means it does not always work successfully. Therefore, I do not recommend this version at this time. Although this may improve in the future, this spotnet is not known for releasing regular updates that support the latest techniques. This means that extracting is not always reliable and may not work optimally with the most recent compression methods.
Go to Edit.
Choose Settings.
Go to the Advanced Downloads tab.
Check the box Use internal downloader.
Here you can also indicate where your downloads should be saved.
Download with 2.0 SpotNet

On the left, choose which section you want to download.
You can then go straight to the right side. Start your desired download by clicking the blue arrow.
However, this can be a problem if your download has a password, as you can’t enter it into SpotNet 2.0. If you have linked SpotNet 2.0 to NZBGet, you can set a password to download protected files. For more information, see the ‘Setting an NZBGet Password‘ guide to learn how to do this easily.”
