Instant Usenet Streaming (uncached!)

Feature Request

Not having to wait for Torbox to download an uncached file from Usenet would be an immense improvement. It is technically possible to mount files from Usenet (no download!) and to expose that via http/webdav.
This way we could get instant streaming from Torbox’s Usenet even if it is not cached!

It is already possible with a regular NNTP provider, as demonstrated by UsenetStreamer, so it would be nice if Torbox would include such a feature.

    Add UsenetStreamer addon function to backend of TB Pro

    Usenet Streamer addon is very new, but shows cached/uncaged Usenet content. If TB sets upnzbdav or altmount in the background to enable the features of this addon into the pro side of usenet, it would be much more stream lined for accs wanting to use pro/usenet content easier. Especially when all you have to do is bring an indexer.
