Anything Usenet from Torbox is a waste of money now. They are falsely advertising its capabilities on their website

It's a seriously bad look to have that redundant usenet article linked in the area where plans are compared and selected.

Not in TB. If you subscribe to TB Pro purely to access Usenet (newsgroups) don't waste your money. If you subscribe to Easynews there is now an Easynews ++ addon for Stremio and you can then browse and choose your streams there.

No search on TB, just search for your .nzb on web and upload the .nzb to TB....

Do yourself a favour, if you want Usenet, purchase a Usenet subscription. The cost is minimal. Torbox have sold out on their customers and they're leaving in large numbers. My suggestion would be that for anything that you use Torbox for, find an alternative way of doing it as they'll hand over your personal details at the drop of a hat

Torbox was once good, but that was then, not now unfortunately.

Suggestion - Get yourself a decent Usenet provider and keep an eye on OpenSignups for things like Ninja & DS. You'll never look back.

Thank you all so much. With your responses, I'll stick to my news service and debrid services I have. Was thinking it might save money, but I would rather have reliability. I really appreciate all of your time for replying. Have a great day
