You can get newznab running pretty easily, but the bandwidth requirements can be kinda high, since it's constantly updating. Plus diskspace.

Called it a week and a half ago.inpheaux posted:At the rate things are going, I expect NZBMatrix will be the next one to go belly-up. Not sure if it'll be due to mass paranoia, direct action against them, or users fleeing over said mass paranoia. At this point it looks like the only Newznab site that's still public is nzbs.in, and they seem to be getting slammed right now, so expect them to close reg any time now. As I just asked on IRC, why the hell were you people only using NZBmatrix in the first place? They were hands down the worst indexer out there tech-wise. Worst API, worst site infrastructure, terrible layout, and in recent months they were one of the major sources of DMCA complaints resulting in takedowns across the entirety of Usenet. As I mentioned pages back, the cycle was going: - Something gets posted to Usenet - Post gets listed at NZBMatrix - Post at NZBMatrix starts getting comments / downloads / etc - DMCA-Troll organization rolls through NZBMatrix top-10's and sends out DMCA's to Giganews/Highwinds/Astraweb/Blocknews - Post at NZBMatrix fills with tears as another thing posted to NZBMatrix is mysteriously nuked And yes, it was confirmed it was SPECIFICALLY once it got posted to NZBMatrix. The process was tested with special NZBs made just for NZBMatrix, with specially named content being posted to Usenet, etc. This makes their parting comment that "Indexing is going to have to change" somewhat hollow. NZBMatrix going down could end up being a good thing for Usenet as a whole. Bobx66 posted:Hate to see them go but I guess that leads us to the next question - how do we decentralize this? Obviously all of these indexers were running scraping bots and sourcing their nzbs from somewhere. Given the uniformity of the software running these sites and the availability of said software - what is to stop the individual from running their own indexer only for their individual and private use? Absolutely nothing is stopping you. Centralization isn't the problem anymore, that was solved with Newznab. If you're scared that your favorite indexer just shriveled up and died, go start your own. For a $10 donation, cost of a server to put it on, and cost of a Usenet account to scrape from (look at Astraweb Block plans, one time payment + headers are free, and that's all Newznab needs), you can have something just as good as NZBs.in that works perfectly fine with Sickbeard & Friends. Bobx66 posted:My follow up question is, where were these site scraping from and why hasn't the original source of aggregation been targeted? Is it possible to decentralize the distribution of these source indexes say through a system like torrents? The original source for all indexers out there except NZBMatrix is Usenet itself. I'm still not scared of direct action being taken to dismantle Usenet outright. If it could be done, it would have been done already. Filesharing over Usenet has outlived five major shifts in filesharing: BBS's in the 80's and very early 90's, hacked ftp topsites in the late 90's, Napster/Limewire-style P2P in the early 2000's, Public Torrent Trackers (which are basically all dead or dangerous now), and Megaupload-style file lockers. It's probably outlived more, but I'm not up on my piracy history further back than that. I think all we've really seen today is the death of the public indexer. Next step will be all the remaining public indexers going private / invite-only permanently, if they haven't already. If you don't have access to a private indexer, chip in with a few of your internet friends and run one yourselves. Newznab isn't hard to get set up, you just need one person with a passing understanding of running LAMP-stack software. Once it's up and running the core underlying NZB-scraping tech is just as good as NZB.su, NZBs.org, NZBs.in, DogNZB, SickBeard Index, etc. Edit: It would probably not be a good idea to start begging for site invites. To my knowledge, no private Newznab sites have constantly replenishing invites. NZBs.org only gives out something like 50 invites per month total. I've had DogNZB / NZB.su accounts for ages, and between the two of them I think I've seen 3 invites ever. There just aren't jillions invites floating around, so don't bother asking. inpheaux fucked around with this message at 17:25 on Dec 9, 2012 |

I've tried it out with nginx, I forget what the load averages were but I know they would get over 2 and I think generally sat over 1.

DOGnzb just reset everyone's invites back to zero, by the looks of what's being posted they're planning on staying small in an attempt to fly under the radar, so unless you currently have an account with them don't expect to get one any time soon.

Did dognzg, nzbs.org, or nbz.su have any kind of open registration before nzbmatrix shutdown? I know that no one has any invites right now so I'm just curious if it'd be likely that any of those indexer would open up registration after the nzbmatrix exodus ends. I'm fairly new to Usenet so nzbmatrix was unfortunately the only indexer that I had an account for.

DOGnzb was created ~100days ago, was was open for about a month or so? Hang tight, I imagine something has to fill the void that NZBmatrix has created.

Here is a convenient Google search that brings up Newznab sites. Enjoy! (Note: there's no easy way to tell how up-to-date or maintained they are, but it's better than nothing.)

If you got purged from nzb.su were you a free user? I got my account back by asking to upgrade to VIP status so maybe that could still be an option (even though giving money to a site that could belly up anytime is still a risk).

At one time or another being the operative phrase. Matrix worked well enough, and it's tiresome to keep checking all time to see if one of the "better" indexers was letting people in.

Regardless of whether the 'tech' was better on other sites, user comments can be very useful. Most of them may have had little value, but: a) you didn't have to look at them; b) they occasionally would be useful; and c) every site would have dumb comments if comments were enabled.

All my account hoarding has finally come in handy.  Sad to lose NZBMatrix after so many years... not as sad as losing the original Newzbin, mind you, but still feels like a watershed moment in the history of Usenet file-sharing. I have to agree with inpheaux, however. It may be better for the community that NZBMatrix closes down. They had a big target on their back and the results of that were being felt everywhere. There are so many other solutions out there these days... I don't doubt a few dozen indexers will step up to fill the void. Also, there's always binsearch.info, right?

Horn posted:Is there a place to get a good how to on how one would set this up? This sounds perfect for some of the daily talk shows. http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=97657 Its a plugin for xbmc. You then either get the branch of sickbeard that nabs the nzbs and converts them to .strms for placement in your library. Or you can get the newznab plugin which backs into any newznab based site and lets you browse their indexes and do searches. I think it also supports favorite shows on some sites so you don't need to search. I didn't realize that newznab actually indexed the headers itself. Do you run into access issues when you use newznab personally to crawl the headers through your usenet provider - such as api limits? I think that once the private aggregators fall individual newznab sites are going to have to be the way forward.
