I’ve found Usenet backbone+indexer to be the same price as VPN while being significantly faster to download, no seeding required.
It allows more complicated setups like radarr+sonarr which download episodes as they come out, at around your internet speed.
Usenet is paid, usually 2+ subscriptions, a Usenet/backbone provider + an indexer.
