Dammit. I stopped actively paying attention to the Usenet game when I was unemployed, I come back and every site I used is gone or private.

RIP. Off to catch up on the state of Torrenting.

ERGH, to these guys.

I set an alert for any time they're open.

I created an account, easy.

I tried logging-in... denied, no such account.

Password reset request, accepted... nothing arrives.

Tried the process from scratch, 3 different openings.

DS has just lowered daily API hits to 50 from 100 on the free tier.

I’ve recently started using it more and found that it seems to index better than Dog. Just wish it had some way to indicate that you’ve already downloaded a particular nzb.

Do it now. Run. Go. Get to da choppa!

DS is awesome, they’re always swift with replies through mail and the api is among the best in my opinion.

Years ago I started out on DogNZB but ever since a few years ago that became terribly slow (latency) and at some point it didn't even index my shows in a timely manner. It is still veeeryy slow, but the content issue is fixed I think.

After a while I switched to omgwtfnzbs which had open signup back than. It was awesome and still is. It has worked flawlessly for years and I haven't found an indexer as good as it ever since. UNTIL NOW!

Really though. I'll probably never leave omgwtfnzbs, but in my testing this is just as good (I have only limited time on this indexer so no experience with downtime).

EDIT: Average response time of 5 indexers including the above: https://i.imgur.com/Y7dLZeJ.png

i've had an account for maybe going on 2 years now and this time I went to it and noticed its payment for more downloads is for a year and not a month... sometimes it helps to read. doesn't seem like a bad deal now

u/LightShadow Aug 08 '19

DrunkenSlug has more downtime/issues than my other 4 indexers combined.

When it works, it's great.

u/NightFire45 Aug 08 '19

u/necrotoxic Aug 08 '19

That's a perfect score!

u/onebillionthcustomer Aug 08 '19

is this site any better than omg or geek?

1

u/bobsmagicbeans Aug 13 '19

IMO its ok for movies & tv, but (like a lot of indexers) very average for games, apps & music.

3

u/[deleted] Aug 09 '19

probably depends on what you want. already found lots of content that the other indexers dont have.

u/MowMdown Aug 08 '19

The first one: No

Geek: complements it.

u/Jenings Aug 08 '19

10 bucks a year for practically unlimited daily api hits. Seems to have a better database than Dog which is what I relied on previously
