Anyone have any success with newsgroupdirect?

When I tried to signup or contact support I got the same error:

CakePHP: the rapid development php framework
An Internal Error Has Occurred

Error: An Internal Error Has Occurred.

Is there a way to contact support without using their contact form as its broken per the above error?

Hello everyone,

I have recently noticed that the interactive search via sonarr takes a very long time. I thought it was due to my setup. Now I realised that API requests via curl also take a long time.

Here are my results:

I'm on Eweka right now. I know both are Omicron network. I'm asking because on the Usenet map the backbone behind Newshosting looks much bigger than Eweka's. I like mostly German Linux ISO's.

Hi, I'd like to scavenge old (90s, early 00s) usenet adult content.

What is the best provider/search engine in your opinion? Payment is fine, preferred via crypt. Thanks

I wanted to buy a block account from BlockNews but I read that they switched from Omicron to Netnews backbone and it affected their retention. No retention days on their website. But I only want to post with them and will download with another provider with better retention. So my question is: if I post with BlockNews, will my post be available on all providers with different backbones and better retention rates?

The original post: /r/usenet by /u/krodami on 2024-09-12 07:27:01.

I currently use UsenetExpress and HW Media backbones however i am having some trouble finding some articles from several years ago, would I have better luck with another backbone?

The original post: /r/usenet by /u/Cavustius on 2024-09-11 16:51:49.

I am looking to improve my ability to find certain linux iso's. I have been using UseNet for around a year and it has been great, I am also in some private trackers but find I get more and better media from UseNet. However there are still things I can't find. Looking through similar problems people are also facing, I am seeing if I can do something better. These are the current providers and nzb indexers I utilize. Providers are all unlimited except NewsDemon is a 1 TB block.

Providers

Indexers

I have lifetime with a few indexers and 1 year vip with others. Is there more/better providers or indexers I should be looking for?

Thanks

Hey ppls, looking for suggestions and or current specials on a cheap Omicron BB block.

Speed and location are not priority, only retention, price, no expiry and SSL of course.

So if you know a suitable provider, feel free to 'shill me your wares'

The original post: /r/usenet by /u/Scientiat on 2024-09-10 04:24:46.

I'm researching this option to get where torrents can't get me some times, but it's a bit obscure for now. I'm happy to pay if it's a good resource. I'm looking for paid mac software in particular, how's the availability of that type of content?

The original post: /r/usenet by /u/whitepny321654987 on 2024-09-09 17:54:44.

I just signed up today, but I can't connect with the user/password provided. Tried to reach out to support, their ticket system is broken, and their billing phone number go to "no route to destination"

Anyone else having problems?

Their support chat seems to be non-existent.

EDIT: Chat support bubble was hidden behind my ad blocker (Adguard home)

Seems that I had some kind of corruptions in my NZBget config. Tests failed, but standard downloads worked fine.

Chat support was good once I was able to see the chat bubble.

Thundernews really should give their website some love. It's showing blog posts from a decade ago.

Hello, I am new to Usenet, and looking for suggestions for Usenet and Indexer

For Indexers, I got Ninja Central access and NZBgeek. And as of now i am thinking to go with 1 year plan of NZBgeek which will cost me around 12$.

For Provider, I have not come to any conclusion, But will really like your suggestion as i am new and got limited budget for year, I have heard about frugal.

Please help, and Thank you in advance

My current subscription (from the last Black Friday deal) ends Feb 2025. If I purchase another yearly subscription for this year's BF, will the new one only commence after the existing one expires?

The original post: /r/usenet by /u/Bluejay3784 on 2024-09-08 22:02:18.

I am a relative noob to Usenet compared to most of you and I am interested in how “the pros” might have their providers split? I am just struggling getting what I think might be the most “bang for my buck.” Anything you might be willing to share is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.

The original post: /r/usenet by /u/Vagaborg on 2024-09-08 16:34:54.

Not needing specifics or links to deals. Just curious to what people are paying.

I've only started really using usent recently and I've currently spent roughly ~~£50~~ $30 for a year indexer subscription and maybe £6 p/m for provider (paid in bulk).

I've had a comment in another sub saying I've overpaid and it should be $10 for indexer and $30 for provider per year?

How much are you paying for indexers and providers?

I'm aware lifetime subscriptions exist, will look into them in the future.

I’m looking to try Usenet next month for the first time, I’m very excited.

I understand one major benefit is speed. Since it’s so fast is it feasible to visit my local library to obtain files?

I have to worry about data caps at home.

usenetprime down?? cant get to a webpage, or anywhere to log into

The original post: /r/usenet by /u/nznady on 2024-09-07 01:59:29.

Just clarifying when someone offers a Usenet invite anyone can accept it or is there something we need to do before we can accept an invite?

The original post: /r/usenet by /u/Kismeras on 2024-09-06 19:10:10.

Are there any good indexers with open registration right now? Is there a particular time of year that they tend to open registration?

Hi Cheapskates!,

It's Bring Your Manners to Work Day, and honestly, we'd rather not. But since we have to play nice at least once a year, here we are with a 35% discount on our one and only plan. Why? Because apparently, being polite means giving you a deal that doesn’t make us cringe. So, while you're all out there holding doors open and pretending to care about pleasantries, we're slapping a discount on our Usenet service that’s as rare as genuine customer service.

Sure, we'd rather keep charging full price, but someone decided it’s good business to look “friendly” every now and then. So, here’s your chance to enjoy our cynical attempt at politeness. Don’t expect it to last long.

That's why: as of right now until Sunday 15th of September 2024 (13:07 CET), you'll get a 35% discount!

Already a customer? Click below:

So, if you feel like being “polite” to yourself and taking advantage of our reluctant generosity, go ahead and grab that 35% discount. We’re doing our part for Bring Your Manners to Work Day—begrudgingly. Just don’t expect us to keep up the nice act for long. Enjoy the savings while they last. Or don't. It's not like we care.

Cheers!

Hi for a first time user what would guys recommend for a indexer and a newshosting provider.

I registered in NZBgeek for a 3 day trial but i couldn't decide on a usenet provider

I want to run it with a plex and prowlarr setup on a windows pc

Thank you.
