Question for the more experienced, I have an unlimited monthly sub with newshosting and eweka, two different backbones. Would it be beneficial at all to pay for a 2TB block from someone like usenetexpress backbone as a 3rd priority backup, or would this essentially never be used ever and a waste? My idea is it'll either cover me in maximizing the rare times where the others might not have it covered but it might also literally never be used ever.

For indexer I'm using NZBgeek and Dunkenslug.

Hi,

I reached out to support of newshosting as I am unable to login to the server to download files but I can login using the same username and password on their website. . Their server's is so glitchy that I am pissed. I tried logging in using SABnzbd and its says invalid username and password. Wth. Now I am m stuck trying to solve this issue. . I tried a second provider easy news and They charged me but my account did not get activated and I sent an email to support there too. what is wrong with these providers systems.

Hey all!

I have used Usenet for almost 15 months, and my current provider subscription with Newshosting is ending at the end of the month. I want to take advantage of some of the deals floating around, but when I went to cancel, Newshosting followed up with quite an interesting offer, and I'd like some opinions on it.

Because of your past support, I’d like to extend a special offer to apply a discount to your plan so that it renews at $47.88/year ($3.99/mo), which will also include unlimited Easynews and unlimited Tweaknews at no additional charge for the duration of your account. If you accept this offer, I will also add 3 months of free service to your account.

I will be combing either this offer, or the €2.50/month Eweka offer with NewsDemon ($30/year).

Curious to know what you all think.

Note: I'm mostly automated, and my indexers are NZBFinder and DrunkenSlug.

Lets eliminate the following indexers: Slug, Geek, Finder, Ninja

Other than these four, who here is primarily using some other indexers heavily?

I listed those four because those are the four who get talked about the most here. I have no idea about actual size of the indexers.

Anyone know why paysafe has disappeared as a payment option on seemingly every provider who previously supported it?

Hi everyone,

I'm thinking about getting the promotion o the megathreat for eweka, because it looks like a good deal. But what happens after one year? Is there a way of renewing for the same price? Or do I have to make a new account in one year's time?

I signed up for a 14 day trial with iLoad. It required a credit card and didn't provide a way to cancel online before getting charged - seems you have to send a support ticket. Anyway I put in the ticket several days ago and got no response at all. Anyone had better luck?

I hedged my bets though... Put in a credit card I don't use anymore and then immediately locked the card after starting the trial so they can't charge it on the renewal day.

(EDIT: Removed the part about them charging me early, sorry I confirmed that one was a merchant I'd just forgotten about and didn't update to my newer CC#)

Hey! Sorry if this has been asked here before, but I been super interested in the usenet and mostly just wanna look through what people have been talking about back in the 90s/early 2000s

I know usenetarchives exists but I have found some other ones from archive and want to look at them in a more interesting/accurate way like back then?

I currently have a lifetime sub to Geek and Planet, but have had rolling subscriptions to Slug and Finder which are about to expire. I guess my question is, would it be worth me renewing my Slug and Finder subs or does the collective think Geek and Planet will cover the majority of stuff? I mainly use Radarr, Sonarr, Lidarr and Readarr

I've been using Newsgroup Ninja for 3 years, and I'm totally happy with it. I have some mistakes in Newsgroup Ninja dashboard recently.

I believed like other system, no one could resolve it without weeks or months.

But the founder has helped me just in less than 15 minutes, also with the technical issues, and the professional service.

I'm truly impressive with Newsgroup Ninja service, and I suggest our hoarder to give it a try, I'm totally sure you would be satisfied with the quality of the service, and also the top professionalism of the supporter.

Need to get my password for a fresh win install. I've used the link to have the password resent to email several times but nothing is coming through after 24 hours. Does it take a few days? Any other channels for support?

Hi everyone. Currently I have the following providers:

• NewsHosting (priority 0)
• NewsGroupDirect (priority 0)
• Eweka (priority 1)

I'm probably going to drop Eweka entirely, as I keep it set to a lower priority in SABnzbd. I just checked and that provider hasn't downloaded a single article over the last 6 months. 0% hit rate on 84k articles. So it doesn't seem to be adding anything of value to my setup.

That leaves me with NH and NGD, the former of which has more than doubled my subscription price this year to $44 USD. I think I pay $25 USD for NGD, assuming they don't also price hike this year.

My question is - is there anything I can improve here? Better deals, diversity of providers/backbones, etc? Or should I just drop Eweka and call it good?

I have a collection of files that im preparing to post. One thing that I don't fully understand is which newsgroup I should post in. I understand that is has to be in alt.binaries, but im not sure what specific group. Does it matter which group I post to? And if so, How do I determine which group?

I'm writing to warn other users of problems with bulknews.eu so none of you repeat my mistake since Bulknews hasn't been mentioned in a few months and the times it was mentioned were due to other TLS/SSL errors of various times. Admittedly this is where I messed up. I'm a big dummy. I don't want you to be a dummy too.

I attempted to purchase a bulk account a few days ago and was immediately provided with an API error stating that the Certificate Authority could not be verified between Bulknews and their credit card processor. The problem is that I was also charged for the service that was not showing up in my account. I immediately submitted a support ticket to get the issue resolved, but have found that my account is disabled/deleted today. They never answered my support ticket.

Just a warning to other users that might potentially fall into the same trap.

. . . or does it only fetch/display binaries?

I'm navigating the UI as best as I can, and when I click the "Everything" tab for a newsgroup, the messages with the lowest size are around 5 mb with binary attachments. . . so I'm not seeing any text messages. If I'm wrong, can you help me out? Thanks.

I have limited newsreader options on a Mac. Usenapp works great, except once I try to fetch more than 250,000 articles, it just. . . won't.

Hello there, I have many nzbs stored on my hdd, I want to organize them like indexers do, I have installed newznab.com indexer on a small vps, I don't want to index from usenet directly, I want to upload my own nzb manually or through api like nzbgeek does.

but I cannot find "user upload" option on newznab, I wonder if the paid version offer such a feature.

what do you thing? I cannot find any info about the paid version, I am using it among my family and friend, we are about 30 users only, not that much.
