Last night it was ok, today it dropped to 2MB/s, connected to the NL server. Anyone else experiencing issues?

NZBgeeks API just randomly failed on me today, and just wanted to be sure if that's a me thing or if that's happening to multiple users?

Anyone getting renewal charge tries at the moment for NewsDemon? I haven't used them in ages, and suddenly they're trying to charge my prepaid credit card, 3 times in the past hour. It's not working since I haven't topped it up. Anyone knows what's up with this?

Title say all, is newshosting having some sort of limited time plan to celibrate this milestone, with some good recuring offer like old 20usd/y deal?

I have tweaknews since 2019. Was charged the same amount since 2020 (30 EUR/year). Got charged a few days ago again, but this time its almost double! Obviously, I don't want to keep them. Just wondering if somebody experienced this! I signed up for Ultimate + VPN - 12 Month in 2019 on a promotion. It was supposed to be 30 EUR every year.

I have a fair few indexers (plz don't judge, I went into Pokémon mode to catch them all):

Lifetime: Geek, Miatrix, Althub, Usenet Crawler

Free: NzbPlanet, Dognzb, tabula rasa

I also have Newshosting as my main provider, plus a couple other block accounts on different backbones.

I'm struggling to grab quite a few things so I'm thinking maybe I need another indexer to pick up those few stragglers.

I know a lot of people suggest Slug but that's invite only so are there are there any non-invite indexers you guys would suggest trying?

Apologies for the noob-ish question.

If indexers catalog usenet groups wouldn't the backbone they elect to fill their NZB database with vary from backbone to backbone? I don't know the answer. I'm just curious if we classify providers (resellers) according to the backbone they're on, wouldn't there also be a difference between indexers depending on the backbone they're indexing?

TIA

Title. I don't know how much more I could say without breaking the rules. With torrenting, hard work and patience can surely get you anywhere. It just feels like on Usenet, theres no information anywhere.

After the BF and Christmas reconfig, I thought sharing my completion rates from the various providers would be interesting. For reference, Priority is the setting in my download client. I have also added Backbone to see what's coming from where. The date range on this survey is fairly narrow, 1/1 - 1/15, and represents 855 GB of downloads. I am accessing hosts from the US.

Is this normal? When I'm trying to download from an NZB that's about 4 weeks old or older, the download usually misses 1% or so and fails. Is this normal or is my usenet-provider failing me?

I'm looking at using Eweka and they have two deals going one seems much better value than the other. Whilst I understand one is for 15 months, it seems to be I would be paying double for 3 months.

Could someone explain if I'm missing something, I just want unlimited access to their network.

https://www.eweka.nl/en/landing/beste-promo-a. Seems great value

This seems expensive in comparison https://www.eweka.nl/en/checkout?p=15mo

nzbs.cc is open for registrations and accepting new users until the 19th. We moved the API/DL's back to 100/10 - however, a simple donation will give you membership, moving forward as well as donator status, we are still working on the membership levels, and payment methods, for now you can donate a couple ways. Note: We are still in a/beta - we just trimmed the DB down and started re-backfilling and re-adding content due to DB bloat and shit releases, updated some code, and put some of u/Darius code in the backend of a server which when we move (in the process of moving, no down time expected) we'll spin up. We had 17 years of content but a lot of it was junk and encrypted, so we implemented new regex's and new black/white lists and re-processed much of our content, we are moving this process along quite quickly however it's interfering with new content, except PRE, so there's that. there are over 200K of rereleases awaiting post processing , lol - BWU plz. thx. -bh ♥ f2 ♥ ng

nzb leech is not on play store anymore but its available from their website free now. Get it before its removed lol. If a mod would post the website as it won't allow me.

I still use it, its the most simple usenet download client for android I found. Yes 95% of the time I use my pc but its good for the odd time I only have my phone around

The site runs slowly, support response times are sluggish, and if you mistakenly download the same NZB twice, they suspend your account for scraping. It’s as if they believe downloading an NZB could overload their entire server network. And I supposedly have a lifetime account!

Has anyone else encountered this?

Many moons ago I used aboutthescene.com as a dictionary to learn what certain abbreviations meant in filenames. The website has been down for over a decade and I’ve never been able to find anything like it. Does anyone know of anything similar?

I'm fairly new to usenet and came across this indexer after a web search. But I searched the subreddit and couldn't find any info or posts about them besides the recent BlackFriday sale.

Does anyone use them currently and if so who do they compare to?

Can I use same providers im already using on another server on my own network under the same ip. Or can i get banned for doing that.

Has anyone else been getting authentication errors from Eweka over the past week or so? I also can't get to their Support Form because their site is broken/has terrible design. Wondering if it's just me :/

The original post: /r/usenet by /u/Palidxn on 2025-01-13 03:58:30.

As the title asks… when I go to the website, I just get garbage. Has the web address changed or has this indexer gone the way of the dodo?

Hello, I am currently using Newshosting as my provider, but now many articles get missed using NH. I have another provider Easynews, but later I found it was also on same backbone. So the article gets missed again. Can anyone please suggest any good provider after NH, so that the article won't be missed easily.

Is anyone else having issues with Scenenzbs? I can't access their website at all.

The original post: /r/usenet by /u/PotatoGratin on 2025-01-11 08:34:14.

So now these indexers have control over the content on r/usenet? I've made a post about their opening their registrations, and it gets removed because it gets reported multiple times for no valid reason, why?
