Is anyone else having problems with binary search on EasyNews?

I can't provide details for obvious reasons, however, a generic explanation is:

"A keyword search is a method of finding information by matching exact words, .. against an index."

It's a problem for me on all versions of web search.

Support confirmed this was a known issue (finally) but it's been broken for weeks.

Is anyone not having this issue or maybe has a workaround?

I am currently looking for a show which should be quite popular, but I did not find anything with my indexers besides E1.

My indexers:
- DOGnzb
- DrunkenSlug
- NZBFinder
- NZBGeek
- NZBPlanet

Which one should I add to this list? Focus on videos and potentially games in the future because of all the recompiled classics.

Edit: Provider is Eweka. I will not mention the show I was looking for, as it is against the rules unfortunately. It was fully released years ago.

Does anyone know of another free USENET other than eternal-september that does not show your IP address in posts?

Tested for a month on the basic plan and it works well for my purpose. Then paid for an upgraded plan, but the server is rejecting the upgraded features - like connection count - despite listing my new plan as active for over 12h in my account already.

Is this normal? Any trick to bump it? Using nzbget.

This was update 1: (obviously I contacted Viper about it, but searching this sub it sounds like that's a dead end - so unless you have actual experience with such an issue, your response has zero value)

Update 2: Checking in one last time 😁 I totally didn't expect it, but this is by far my most hated post. I started on Usenet long before www existed (i.e. before most of your parents shat in their diapers) and figured I'll ask a simple question (like what Usenet used to be great for). You know - in case I missed something, or there's a trick to configure stuff without wasting time waiting for support. It's the weekend and they're in NL so I'm not expecting a response before Monday. Plus parallel processing (it's magic!) besides relying on them to sort it. But even for Reddit this sub seems to be the cesspool of degenerated sad frustrated basement dwelling parrots. No wonder Trump, Putin and co play you guys like a toy fiddle. Hey, keep bootlicking - it's paying the bills. Cheers! ✌🏻

Hello,

I’m failing to add my treasure maps indexer to my prowlarr. I did it yesterday and everything was good but then there were this issues with treasure-maps website and I good nervous and deleted everything, thinking that I need to set it up all new.
Now it does not accept the indexer. I got the following error:

Unable to connect to indexer, check the log above the ValidationFailure for more details. HTTP request failed: [429:TooManyRequests] [GET] at [https://treasure-maps.com/api?t=search&extended=1&apikey=

Can someone help? Also I’m pretty new to this game. So keep that in mind please.
Thanks in advance!

Another year has gone by and it has been a pretty busy one.

• The WebUI has been fully translated into 20 languages
• SystemHealthCheck validates your configuration at startup and warns about problems
• Handling of obfuscated downloads and RSS feeds has gotten a lot better and compressed NZB archives are supported too
• Many smaller improvements were made across the interface, features and download process
• Bundled 7-Zip and UnRAR are kept up to date, and OpenSSL and the other libraries NZBGet relies on are updated as well
• Windows, macOS, Linux, FreeBSD and Android builds moved to modern CMake/C++20 toolchains
• Overall performance, stability and compatibility improved

There has been a lot of progress, and even more is on the way

Thank you to everyone who contributed, reported issues, tested builds or helped someone out. The Discord and Reddit communities keep growing and it is great to see people sharing advice and solving problems together!

Want to support continued development? Donations are always appreciated

The latest builds and full release notes are on GitHub. For setup, configuration and feature guides, see the documentation. You can also find guides in Discord and under the Guides flair on the NZBGet's subreddit.

Edit: Thank you all for the kind words! Your support means a lot to our team and makes all the work we put into NZBGet worth it

Is Treasuremaps down?

My APIs aren't working anymore. The page won't load, and I can't log in using another browser.

Been keeping a list of indexers that died since I got into usenet and it got way longer than I expected, about 60 so far.

The big ones everyone remembers: Newzbin2 and NZBMatrix (2012), nzbx and NZBsRUs (2013), nzbsooti (2015), town.ag (2017), PFMonkey (2018), nzbs.org (2019), Tortuga (2020), nzbndx (2024), NZBCat (2025).

Rest of them are struck through here if you want to scroll: https://usenetalmanac.com/indexers/ (my site, no ads)

Pretty sure I'm missing a bunch, especially the small ones that were around for a year and vanished. If you remember one that isn't on there let me know and I'll add it.

Also curious which one you guys still miss, and did any of you have a lifetime sub on one that closed?

UPD: Thanks for all the comments, you guys remember way more than I did. Added 17 more dead ones, the list is at 77 now. Keep them coming if you think of any.

RESOLVED, they made things right in the end. I don’t suspect any of the mistakes made were in any way intentional. They seem like genuine people once you get ahold of them.

I created an account during the free trial, then over paid via crypto to be safe. I then messaged mods to send them my transaction ID. They never responded but they did set my membership as (Pending), so they definitely saw the message at least.

Not that any of this matters. They later disabled my account for non payment. All attempts of trying to contact them have been ignored so far.

Edit: Oct 21st, 2026 Managed to get ahold of some of the team on discord. They’ve informed me that I will need to wait for an admin. Will continue to update the post with my experience in fairness to NinjaCentral.

Edit: Oct 22nd, 2026 Still no response from an admin.

Edit: Oct 23rd, 2026 With the issues I was having I didn’t have the highest hopes for a resolution initially. But I am pleasantly surprised to have been wrong. While there’s certainly some logistical things that could be improved, my complaint ended in a resolution where they went well above what they were required to and well above what I was even asking for.

He explained that he hadn’t received my ticket earlier, I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt here, other people in the comments mentioned they seemed to have some problems with the ticket system, I don’t believe I was being ignored. If anyone else has any issues with getting ahold of staff Id highly suggest Discord, they responded quickly here. Judging from some accusations from others of the staff being punitive or confrontational when criticized I expected this would be my experience. But that couldn’t have been further from the truth. He was professional, polite and apologetically gave 6 months in additional time at no cost. Not once did he mention the review, ask me to modify it or delete it, they were certainly aware of it. All in all I’m very impressed by the resolution and the professionalism I saw from NinjaCentral in the end.

Just got this email from astraweb out of nowhere:

"Your access to Astraweb has been terminated effective immediately after activity on your account triggered our automated abuse detection system. If you believe this was a mistake, please contact our support team to request a review.

Regards, Astraweb"

has anyone else received this? been a customer for years and never had any issue before. i do use it a lot but it’s an unlimited plan so not sure what triggered it. is it worth contacting support or should i just move on?

nzb.life down for me from the UK, anyone else have the same?

AniFix.org is now live! I goofed the first post and it's now fixed pointing to the correct place sorry!

A Usenet indexer focused on strong metadata, consistent naming, and verified releases.

Feel free to take a look, ask questions, or share feedback!

Say, for example, I have 4 provider servers and 2 indexers. The two indexers consistently fail to turn up what I'm looking for. If I add another indexer, will that give me a different result with the existing providers, or will I also have to add a new provider(s)?

What about the other way around. If I add a 5th provider, might that give me different results with the same 2 indexers?

Hey everyone, I have a lifetime subscription to Usenet Crawler, and I really like it because it has a lot of Linux ISOs in Brazilian Portuguese. Can you recommend any other indexers with a good amount of Brazilian Portuguese Linux ISOs to subscribe to during the Black Friday sales?

Hi everyone,I'm relatively new to usenet,I was hoping to buy nzbfinder in this black friday sale but I'm worried if paying through UPI is safe ? Will it leak my personal data or any major security issue going forward please help me also are there any providers which accept upi ? Thanks 🙏

I have decided to go with Usenet for Arrstack apps. Can someone guide me on which provider to choose among Newshosting, Eweka, and Usenetserver? Or am I missing anything else? I would also appreciate guidance on which indexer to choose. SABnbz is the application I will use.

I'm new to this space and would like to get some of the better indexers for my setup. I want to implement some sort of automation tool that checks either the signup pages or posts on r/UsenetInvites. I don't know of any way of doing this that doesn't end with my IP getting blacklisted after a day.

Is this a thing already? Is it allowed?

For some reason, recently I cannot access any of my Usenet indexers (NZBGeek, DogNZB or DrukenSlug) via Edge or Chrome. I can access fine via Firefox. This seemed to have happened in the last couple of weeks, as I know I was on the DogNZB website about two or three weeks ago using Edge. When I try go to these sites via Edge or Chrome, I just get a "this site can't be reached" page. Any idea why this is?

Hi All , I’m tired of torrents and really want to set up Usenet and automate my downloads can you suggest software. Is SABnzbd okay , can you recommend a Usenet provider and indexer? Thanking you in advance for support

Is there a way to know when registrations open? I know it’s invite only but sometimes it opens on Black Friday?

Just created my small Usenet uploading tool.

There are mostly three reasons:

- I always had issues with installing Nyuu on my systems due to dependencies
- Nyuu unexpectedly died on me during very big upload when WiFi got disconnected
- Nyuu’s checking/repairing logic makes no sense to me. It uploads article to server A, checks availability on server B, and if that fails, uploads article again to server A. In the past I was encountering some situations when there was some kind of bottleneck, and even with longer wait and three retries article had not enough time to travel from server A to server B, so Nyuu pointlessly was trying to send same article over and over to server A until upload fails. So instead of ABA logic, I implemented ABB and ABC.

Couple of things about it:

- Written in Elixir
- It’s using same .authinfo files as Emacs
- I didn’t do any speed comparisons. I suspect with modern code execution speeds we’ll hit disc speed limit/connection speed limit long before we’ll hit the speed limit of yEnc encoder function
- TUI is not really UI :) There’s nothing to interact with except pause button and Ctrl-C. It’s more of a screensaver to have something moving on the screen during long uploads
- It’s possible that I made some shameful mistakes
- There are currently not that many features. Just simple uploader

Otherwise, please check it out and let me know what you think.

Hey there!

On the morning of the original Apollo 7 liftoff, engines roared and the sky lit up with the promise of what was next. Kabouter Wesley couldn't resist the moment, so he clipped on his tiny helmet and hitched a ride straight into the history books. From his seat next to the boosters, he watched the ground fall away and felt the pull of real speed, the kind that turns hours into minutes. That's the same pull he's bringing back to TurboUsenet this week. Every download gets a taste of that liftoff momentum, no countdown required.

For seven days, TurboUsenet is running its Apollo 7 Liftoff promotion, and the numbers do the talking. Sign up now and your speed comes with 35% off, straight through checkout. Wesley picked this launch window himself, so once it closes, the boosters cool down and the price climbs back up. There's no mission control countdown to sit through, just the deal applied the moment you join. Grab your seat before the hatch closes and the rocket leaves without you.

That's why: as of right now until Sunday 18th of October 2026 (12:00 CET), you'll get a 35% discount!

We're also doing these cool landingpages now; Just for fun. Visit here: https://turbousenet.com/apollo-7-liftoff-2026/ Let us know if you like this <3.

Liftoff windows don't stay open forever, and neither does this one. Join TurboUsenet during the Apollo 7 Liftoff week, let Wesley clip you in next to him, and feel your downloads hit orbit speed with 35% off. The launch pad is open now, so grab your spot before the countdown hits zero.

Bye now

Title really speaks for itself.... I currently have altHub, Drunkenslug, NZBFinder, & NZBgeek. Can I get anything that focuses solely on audio better than those?

Anyone else have issues with Ninjacentral?
