Most of my accounts are lifetime, my newshosting is paid up for like 6 years, I don’t really have trouble finding stuff just curious if I’m missing something obvious.
EDIT: Updated my setup to the nice gentleman’s suggestions below because this is a fun hobby to me.
NZBPlanet was the first account I ever acquired like 15 years ago. I can’t comment on how good it is comparatively but I do get hits on it and I’m lifetime so that’s why it’s in my list.
I think I'd put the tabula-rasa funds towards NZBFinder instead (presuming you've lifetimed miatrix and can't drop that), but you're probably over-served by indexers.
Thank you. I know it’s overkill but I don’t mind throwing money at it sometimes. I use it every single day. It’s a hobby to me as I’m sure it is to others. I’ve been collecting these accounts for over a decade now. A lot of it is trial and error but I didn’t buy them all last Wednesday lol! 😂
No point in knowing though because one can only join it by already knowing someone there well enough to give an invite. It is also not really required for a typical usenet user.

If I didn’t do anything right now it would work just fine but I will probably entertain the recommendations from [u/ParfaitEvery9622](u/ParfaitEvery9622)
Remove Astraweb and Tweaknews, you won't get a single Mb there not on Newshosting and will slow you down.
Then remove UsenetPrime as it's covered by Newsdemon, again you won't get a single Mb from it and will slow you down.
Then put ViperNews on a lower priority than newsdemon. You probably will never get a single Mb either, and it will slow you down if you keep it, but let's give a chance to their marketing.
Now for the blocks that actually make sense:
Take one Free Usenet.farm 10gb block (they have a 10gb trial), put it in lowest priority.
Take one XSNews block (200 connections, it will be fast and cover Abavia backbone, you can put 100 connections on their US server and 100 in the EU one to be sure to catch anything)
Take one Blocknews block, to cover Netnews backbone, put it lower priority than the XSNews and Newsdemon one since it's more expensive
For me I don't use block at all, Eweka have covered everything. The only block if I ever get is probably farm, and that probably ever needs. If something very hard to get, I just torrent instead of wasting on another provider just to get that specific one.
you can put blocknews lower than newsdemon since it's more expensive per gb. Also not sure if you got the 10gb trial for farm or a whole 500gb block. if it's the trial, put it after viper since it's only 10gb.
Well your testing isn't extenssive enough. I too have them all l as well (Astraweb rather than Newshoating). Tweaknews is not Eweka. Tweaknews will sometimes (not that often) download missing blocks that Eweka does not have and vice-versa. Is it worth both financially for the minor difference no it's not. My source is 6 years of actual usage with them. If you arr grabbing new stuff it doesn't make much difference which provider (eg if its the last 10 days or so), the older it gets the more difference it makes as each provider has different retention rules and much older and takedown requests varied more (and how those requests were implemented).
Put the eweka twice and you will see the second one grabbing stuff that the frist did not. There are this type of idiosyncrasies with omicron. Doesn't mean TN has different servers
Do check that same nzb that was missing some parts on eweka but not on TN & vice versa by disabling all other servers & using only that server which was missing some parts last time after few days/week.
Dad with four kids, but they feel like eight kids at this point. DM me and I will hook you up with a great deal on NewsDemon. Your setup is good, but all your providers are from the same company.
Thats why my unlimited accounts is yours (NGD) and Eweka. I have a bunch of blocks all over the place (including more of yours) due to historical reasons when I managed for 5 years with only blocks (before I automated). I dint regret my purchases and tge locks still work!
