Way less than most of this thread, I'm guessing: 1600ish.

Dis is amazing!
I gotta try dis!

I was never able to get an account on .org so I've been using nzb.su dognzb.cr (I don't recommend them much anymore because they reverted lifetime subscriptions) nzb.cat and nzbnoob.com. I also have spotweb running still on a VM but it's not very good for automated searches, mostly for manual stuff. It often indexes stuff subbed for the netherlands that I don't see on other providers but it's kinda janky.

edit: the last time this happened some goons were going to set up a server but like most great goon projects I don't think anything came of it.

Anyone else didn't get into nzbs.org in time? Largely because I didn't really get started on Usenet until about 7 years ago. Never really tried either.

Shame nevertheless, .org was the promised land.

ds i'd say

you can still try ds free, you get 100 api hits and 5 downloads/day on the free tier.

Once you have more than 2-3 indexers in more than one application I recommend setting up NZBHydra2. Basically what it does is emulates the Newznab API and acts as a proxy, so you set up your indexers in Hydra and then point Sonarr/Radarr/etc at it, then you only have one place to manage everything. You can prioritize indexers and it'll automatically handle throttling requests for sites with API limits.

It also gives you a single central search interface that hits all the connected indexers and shows your stats. There's multi-user functionality as well, no idea how that works though but if you share any usenet/indexer accounts with friends that might be useful.

edit: Fixed link to current version.

Hydra2 is so great that I probably wouldn't have noticed nzbs.org's departure outside of reading this thread. Already got new accounts setup on it since all it really needs is API keys and it's good to go.

I started doing this a while back, another handy thing you can do with it is strip tags/text that Sonarr/Radarr won't/haven't gotten around to yet, like postbot took forever for one of them to strip. They mentioned they weren't going to keep adding new ones too, so there's that.

There's also some prolific reposters that add their own tag after the release, though they keep altering their name (rakuvxxxx). Annoying cause I have to look through the history to see what release it actually is.

Been a great run with nzbs.org over the past decade, and it figures the shut down notice comes on the same day I finally got around to setting up Sonarr/Radarr on my server. I ended up paying for a lifetime membership at nzbgeek and am using ds, omg and 6box as backups. Is blocknews.net still the preferred block provider? I need to finally get a backup for supernews set up.

So what is the criteria for a good indexer with you guys? I'm kinda new still so if a indexer has what i want and doesn't go down a lot it basically ends there with me, but some of you seem to be extremely picky. Figured maybe there is something to learn here that i don't know about yet.

Retention, speed, good amount of group %ages, reliability, no dickheads running the show. If you an indexer that seems to be doing everything you need, then no reason to worry but it's always good to have an account or two elsewhere (even if just free ones) just so you have something to roll back to if things fall down. Nobody really saw .org dying with a few weeks notice after being mostly solid for 10 years.

I think most people who have strong preferences for whatever indexer, are also the people who spend a lot of time at the actual indexer site. Maybe?

I go to indexer sites only when I sign up for them or if something is hosed up. Otherwise I use binsearch or hydra for weird searches.

Thankful for cat, but will likely donate to the one that accepts PayPal (without the sketchy "email me your information" option).

I just set up nzbhydra on my Synology (don't want to do the effort of installing 2 on my Synology right now), and it does look as though some indexers provide more or fewer unique results on a given search. It's unclear that makes a difference on finding what you're looking for, but it does look like it makes sense to have a couple in your back pocket.

To be honest, I think most of my grabs have been coming from indexers other than .org for th last year or so. I'd have to check my history in Sonarr. But it'll be sad to see it go, I've had my account for 9 years with 8900 grabs. I've signed up on a handful of the other indexers, so I'll have to try out Hydra2 and consolidate things down.

I'm on cat as well. Most of mine come from nzbplanet right now. My free Slug account does some lifting too but far far less than planet.

During the sudden necessity to spring clean configs, I’ve noticed I’m getting a fair few failed downloads.

I’m currently just using supernews, does anyone have any suggestions for a block provider that might fill in those empty spaces?

Blocknews should fit the bill. On Highwinds I believe, opposite of Giganews that Supernews uses.

I signed up to Ninja a little while ago, after using Giganews since like 2001. Also got a friend to signup, since we were sharing the Giga account and things got a bit fucky. He signed up near the end of March, and this code was still valid:

NewsgroupDirect at $3.99 a month and Newsgroup Ninja at $40 a year ($3.33 a month) are both a little cheaper than Fast Usenet and they're on the same backbone.

Pretty happy with the speeds, basically maxed out my Fibre :D
