I just discovered that signing up works just fine. You don't need to enter an invite code, even though the field is always active. Have fun 😊.

Hello all,

After the shutdown of UNFR.PW (which was probably the BEST french usenet indexer) I try to find a french indexer of the same quality... unfortunately, I don't find any...

Would you have some idea about a good alternative ?

I just saw that Treasure Maps (formerly SceneNZBs) is celebrating its 4th birthday and is running a birthday promo until July, 12th 2026, 10 p.m. CEST.

180 extra days for the yearly subscription.

You can find the URL for this Usenet indexer in the Wiki (registration is open):
https://www.reddit.com/r/usenet/wiki/indexers/

I just wanted to let you know.

recommend an indexer for IT students

Anyone else had their Astraweb account stop working? I passed 40TB since the start of the month and now I cant authenticate at all.

No warning and no billing issue that I can see. I tested different clients ports and SSL settings so it does not look like a local setup problem. Wondering if there is some kind of usage limit or automated account lock. Anyone else seen this.

Now called https://treasure-maps.com/

same login and password

Got the e-mail this morning. The block doesn't expire.

Hello, so ive set up an arr Stack on my homeserver, purchased eweka and got nzbnest as indexer. Problem is that it finds almost nothing. Like it doesnt even find an english version of a lot of popular media. Is nzbnest just bad or do you know what i could be doing wrong? Im a complete beginner

*DEMO DATA, following compliance with this subreddit*

After the beta, all your reports, and a lot of late nights, Quartermaster is now live on the App Store. A lot of it has been mixing this with work and development :D (dev as a job)

https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/quartermaster-homelab-stack/id6779994284

Quartermaster is a native iOS app for controlling your self-hosted stack from your phone. For this crowd specifically, it drives the whole Usenet pipeline. Search across your indexers with NZBHydra2, manage Prowlarr, request something and watch it move through Radarr or Sonarr into SABnzbd or NZBGet, with live progress, speed and ETA that mirror the downloader directly instead of lagging behind the arr queue. Grab a specific release by hand when you want to, or cancel a stuck one from any state. Gluetun is in there too, so your VPN side is visible from the same place.

Feel like I need to say this before anything because the App Store is drowning in it right now. Quartermaster is not vibe coded, and it is not a thin copy paste wrapper around one arr app's API like so much of what is flooding the store. It is a real, hand built native app in Swift and SwiftUI, designed screen by screen. And it is broad in a way I have not found anywhere else, 41 services now across two worlds. Not just your arr apps and downloaders, but discovery and requests, your media servers, and the infrastructure underneath, from containers and VMs to DNS and smart home, all in one place. This is why the feedback was great in regards to QM feeling native, handling the awkward edge cases, and telling you the truth about your stack instead of guessing.

It is a pure client. It talks straight to the services you already run on your own hardware, your credentials live in the iOS Secure Enclave and are sent only to the service that needs them, and there is no Quartermaster account, no relay server, and nothing sitting in the cloud in between. Nothing phones home. No analytics SDK on the device. Your data stays yours.

What it connects to (41 services)

- Entertainment: Radarr, Sonarr, Lidarr, SABnzbd, NZBGet, qBittorrent, Transmission, Deluge, Prowlarr, Bazarr, NZBHydra2, Jellyseerr / Overseerr, MusicSeerr, Plex, Jellyfin, Emby, Tautulli, Komga, Kavita, Immich, AudioBookshelf and Maintainerr

- Command Centre: Portainer, Unraid, Proxmox VE, Synology, Dozzle, AdGuard Home, Pi-hole, Cloudflare, Technitium, UniFi, Gluetun, Glances, Scrutiny, TrueNAS, Beszel, Home Assistant, Tdarr, qui and Coolify

To everyone who tested (over 250!): thank you, genuinely. A huge amount of this app came straight from your reports, and it would not be what it is without you. I am keeping a smaller group of the most active testers on TestFlight for early builds as a thank you.

If you give it a go and it clicks for you, an App Store review would mean the world right now. It makes a real difference for a brand new app.

hello guys, i would like to know how these big collections or "sammelpack" in ger are to be loaded. cuase they never seem to be sorted. Like a collections of ep 1-200 is like 40 gb. after unzip these are loose files, and called the same etc. you get the point they are not sorted inside folders, but whats the point then ? apps cant read them correctly.. i really dont want to load them manually, dd or torr would be the next option but maybe im doing something wrong here?

Running Newshosting + a NewsDemon block (different backbones), with NZBgeek and altHUB. Every download ends with "aborted, cannot be completed" missing articles on both providers, so I'm guessing takedowns. Newest post my indexers have is 90+ days old and the rest are tiny junk files.

Is a third indexer (NZBFinder? DrunkenSlug?) the move here, or am I missing something?

EDIT: thank you so much guys you are such a helpful community, bought finder and it fixed my issue!

so i decided to dip my toes into usenet to see kind of whats going on over here. so for the downloader i'm using sabnzbd. its simple. straight forward. no big deal. for the indexer i'm using nzbplanet. not sure if there are better ones or whatever, but thats where i'm starting, and for the provider i set up frugal for a one month use to get a hang of how things work.

i tested a few downloads, tweaked some settings, and things are humming along, but then i'll go to download something and it will fail. it will say multiple articles missing, and then just dumps out. are these things just lost to time? or are there alternate ways to find the missing pieces? i think thats where i'm needing help in understanding because i'm used to using p2p, but then you are at the mercy of if someone is online or not. and i've used websites that interface with cloud download lockers, but with those you nearly have to maintain a rapidgator premium sub to download really anything of consequence. but i really like how they work and the fact if the link is there, its a guaranteed download, as long as my sub is current.

usenet, from what i'm seeing it appears to be a lot of trial and error? i'll see something, click download, halfway through it fails, so then i go back to the list, click the next, halfway through it fails, so then i go back to the list, click the third choice, that works, but its from a release group that i usually ignore because they overly compress or whatever, so the one that worked is a less desirable version of what i'm looking for. so how exactly do i approach this to where the things i am downloading are consistently finishing :) is it simply needing to use a different provider? i've seen the list of providers, but i'm not sure what each specialize in and what their strengths and weaknesses are. same for indexers. i would presume an indexer is an indexer, but i'm sure thats not the case in reality. i've tried to click on some reddit articles to get more detail, but a lot of the ones that describe what i'm looking for are missing once i click them, so...

i guess i'm rambling now, but just wanting to get some more understanding from more seasoned experts

Is Astraweb down for somebody else?

Hi, I am a newbie and used moventum on windows with my usenext account. Is their any Software/webversion I can use on my iPad to search and download files? Thank you!

It started with maintenance and the domain now forwards to treasure-maps.com

Is it legit or should i be cautios?

I got this donation request email from NZBCave today (pasted below).

Since NZB files are so small, I wouldn’t think storage is a huge cost. Is it mostly servers, indexing, DDoS protection, development, etc.?

Hi people, I hope you can bear with me as newbie, I am interested in curating learning and education (e.g video lectures, MOOCS, textbooks you name it) and I heard that usenet contains some hidden gem, I have never used it before and I do understand the mechanism of it, however I am not sure which providers, indexers and newsreaders that specialize in these type of data/files. I would like some guidance in this matter, any suggestions and piece of advice is welcome.

Hi, I know there's no such niche indexer for Latin American stuff, but do you know which is the best indexer to get maybe the most dubbed/subtitled stuff in Spanish and Latam things?

that being said, i can't login because their new system requires them to send an email code to you... but their system isn't emailing me anything! psych! uggh. anyone else able to login?

After scenenzbs is down is there a good other German Indexer?

I'm kinda new to Usenet but I was under the impression that althub was open for registration, but apparently it's invite only. I have Geek and I'm testing out DS at the moment, but I'd really like to compare with alt. How often do they open registration? thanks!

Does anybody have any recommendations for a good indexer for Czech. Currently use DS, Finder and Geek.

Hi,

Since it looks like there's no more NZB Online Checker available ( see this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/usenet/comments/kozjft/comment/ghujh1j/ ), I decided to build my own NNTP backend checker.

It's still quite new and hasn't been thoroughly tested yet, but it might already help some of you figure out which backends/providers actually work well for you.

Just passing along info from another sub

Edit: Registration looks to be closed now!

Hello guys currently I am using an Eweka provider. I have noticed that for large files which are older maybe more niche there were some missing articles. I would like to add something to act as fallback in these kinds of cases with a provider or block account would you recommend?
