    This is quite a good indexer.

      After the demize of nzbs.org, it's the best I've found. It's still far more confusing to set up a subscription to a group of shows.

        I find nzb.cat & drunkenslug to also be handy.

        I just use sonarr for shows. Let it do the magic of find, seek & grab.

      • DryScissors on 23/11/2019 - 13:44

      I disagree. They 'take down' a lot of stuff. How they do it, I'm not sure, but often stuff is indexed and can be seen but fails to complete on download. When I go to another private indexer and grab the same nzb (the same file/releaser etc)it completes no problem.

      • [Deactivated] on 19/11/2019 - 21:27

        That’s not quite how it works. They index stuff. But sometimes people post/repost he same release numerous times. Some f it gets taken down from Usenet (not the indexes fault).

        I check the comments for older stuff. People often let you know if it works or not.

        Private indexes, people tend to rate stuff, public ones, they tend not too.

      • 4agte on 24/11/2019 - 12:12

        Usenet providers take files or part of a file down due to DCMA or NTD requests. An indexer just does that. Indexes new uploads. Who you download is with you. A DCMA provider will have much faster take downs than NTD

          That's right. They did their own research and didn't rely on other people answering questions that are easily found online. Fair enough if you have a question after doing some rudimentary research.

                an indexer 'indexes'…its in the name
                it doesnt host

                • No Username on 19/11/2019 - 12:24

                  @SBOB: I think I made my first comment confusing. The website is an indexer. But it points to servers to which you can download illegal content from. I asked him what he uses the website for because most users will use the API to link to PLEX or XBMC. But in all honesty, the website main purpose is primarily pinpoint free movies, games, etc. So to clear things up the website complies with DMCA request. It is the servers hosting the content are illegal to an extent.

                    no it doesnt
                    the servers hosting the files are the ones getting DMCA requests
                    the indexers couldnt care less

        With sites such as NZBGEEK you can use its API (Kind of like an automatic robot) to pipe all the latest movies/tv-shows automatically onto your PLEX Server. So essentially you're hosting your own illegal Netflix.

        • Lancerx on 18/11/2019 - 20:14

          So it hosts user's files on the site and you can share around? That legal though? Sound awesome though

            @Lancerx: You can run a plex server, that can store media files, or anything you want really. To share with anyone.
            No it's not legal.

            no, it hosts pointers to files that exist on usenet servers…
            how you access usenet servers is another question ;)

          incorrect you also need a usenet provider, nzbgeek is only an indexer.

      • obo on 18/11/2019 - 22:12

        I think the reason you never get a good response to this is because it's difficult to explain quickly or simply. It's also used for many different things. I'll try take a stab tho.

        Usenet is an old ass (pre-internet) protocol(kinda) that was created by two clever dudes as a way to distribute information. It was first used as a kind of bulletin board, but I won't go into it. While crazy interesting, not really important for this. Nowadays it's a collection of user-uploaded notes/messages on a whole range of subjects. These posts are organised into collections called a newsgroup. There are hundreds of thousands of these newsgroup's hosted on servers worldwide (online and offline).
        Now, if you want to use usenet and access these newsgroups, you will need three things:

        • Provider - provides access to usenet as a service. Think of it like an ISP, but a Usenet Service Provider.
        • Indexer - Similar to a search engine They are constantly indexing newsgroups, and allow you to search them. NZBGeek is an indexer, but is community driven. Big difference to a standard search engine imho
        • Newsreader - Basically a usenet browser. Allows you to view these newsgroups, or download from them too.

        So say you wanted to watch the new episode of that crazy hyped show that is totally not copyrighted, but isn't available in Aus.
        Well, we could use our usenet indexer to search for it. You see a post that matches, posted 3 days ago. Great! so you download the .nzb file from the indexer, and then open that file with your newsreader. The newsreader uses your usenet provider to download the file, done!

        Now this is super simplified, but I hope it gives a quick overview. Usenet allows for so much more too!
        It's useful for finding things when your normal avenues fall short, or if you're a fan of automation with software like SABnzbd, Sonarr, Radarr, etc.

          Great explanation, amid some fairly questionable/inaccurate ones!

          If you are only interested in highly specific content (eg classical music), you can do things the traditional way and retrieve headers from the appropriate Usenet groups (a program like NewsLeecher for instance). But films and TV shows tend to be posted to a variety of groups with huge numbers of headers, so indexers are essential

          One other thing to note is that many posts now have obfuscated (non descriptive)names to prevent DMCA takedowns, and better indexers like NzbGeek de-obfuscate some of this otherwise hidden content.

          Another way of searching Usenet is to get an Easynews account (wait to see if they have a special for Black Friday/Cyber Monday, last year they had unlimited for $5 USD/month). They have traditional NNTP servers as well as a searchable HTTP interface for Usenet with the content of archives unpacked (so if you want just a track from a rared set of 10 CDs, you can download the track without havng to grab all 10 Cds).

    Might be time for a lifetime subscription methinks.

    Been too stingy to pay for an indexer since nzbs.org closed and limited to 5 grabs per day from the last time DrunkenSlug opened up free registrations.

          Your risk here is that they close down. For example, I paid for a lifetime sub at nzb matrix, which lasted a grand total 1 year 2 months before they closed down - I blurted out "but I'm still alive" when I saw that - so it does happen. So by taking out a lifetime sub, what you're effectively saying is "I think this site will stay up more than 2 years 6 months". Because if you don't, then you're better off paying less for a time limited membership - e.g. a 12 month sub during 2019's Black Friday, another in 12 months during 2020's Black Friday, and then a 6 month sub during 2021's Black Friday.

            @nickj: Fair point but I think Geek has been around a while?

            • nickj on 19/11/2019 - 12:16
              +3

              @iShibby: Yes, Geek launched in late 2012 apparently.

              Indexers do come and go though. I went through a stage around 2011 where I tried to sign up to all the indexers I could find to see which were useful to me (most were rubbish), signed up to a total of 15 indexers, and to the best of my knowledge, at least the following 8 from that period have closed down:
              * Hyrdamind / nzb-matrix.eu
              * newzbin
              * nzbclub
              * nzbid
              * nzb matrix
              * nzbsrus
              * nzbxxx
              * usenet-crawler
              There were 2 more that deleted my account, and 5 that were operating last time I looked.

              That's a > 50% close down rate in 7 years. Most closed in late 2012/early 2013 when there seemed to be a big push to shut them down.

              So to clarify: your primary risk is not that Geek are going to be take your money and run (I don't think that's especially likely), rather your main risk is that there's a big push to shut down sites, which forces them to close.

      I use both and these are my observations;

      • NZBPlanet has 4K remuxes uploaded a ton times faster than Geek
      • NZBPlanet has a faster request system (IMO)
      • Geek is more user friendly especially their Collections
      • Geek's UI and design is so much better to the eyes than Planet

        Agree on Geek vs Planet UI. And that is saying a lot, as Geeks is but ugly. Planet looks like it from the early 90s.
        Dogs is great, the best of what I use.
        Drunken seems to be the quickest in having certain sporting events that I am after now, by a large margin.

        New release tv shows will often have tons of missing pieces if you try and download them 24hrs after release. A lot of new release movies also get taken down quickly.
