5€ is already dirt cheap. If you have another ~ 5€ service that can max out my 1 Gbps connection when I download, I am all ears.

It's probably too complicated for a lot of people who got used to using torrents or they just don't know what they are missing out.

Nzb360 is the answer you are looking for. You can find it on mobilism.

abook.link is a usenet indexer. Rarely/never mentioned but they have a nice community and you can easily make a request. My go-to site if I'm not looking for something semi-popular.

5 € VPN + 5 € seedbox is a great combo. I would swear Mullvad is even faster now that they stopped supporting PF.

Makes sense. My average upload amount dropped by 50%, too. What download speeds do you get with airvpn? I have 1 Gbps so anything below 80 MB/s wouldn't be worth switching.

If you find your way into good private usenet indexers, definitely yes. Often I download full Blu-rays posted 10 years ago maxing out my internet connection. Imagine Megaupload from their best days, but better. (at least for movies/tv)
