    NZBgeek lifetime has been going well for me… apart from that one incident.

    • Bigfellaborham on 24/11/2024 - 13:36

      How long you been a lifer for?

        4-5 years

        I've been with them now on a lifetime sub since May 2017. Have very rarely ever needed any other indexer since.

        thanks for this question. I had to go back and check myself.

        lifetime member since mid 2015!

        i'd recommend !

      • M00Cow on 24/11/2024 - 16:40

        they've been around since 2012.

          I'm at 11 years. Been super happy with them.

  • mith on 24/11/2024 - 13:48

    Do you guys feel having a backup provider helps complete grabs?

    For example, I tried to download a very popular version of Linux a few weeks after it came out but every single one I tried had been taken down. This is with geek/.su and Newshosting. Would a backup provider from a different backbone/region be of help or would it not actually make a difference?

    • Bigfellaborham on 24/11/2024 - 14:05

      I only use HitNews and NZBGeek along with the ‘aars and it gets pretty much everything perfectly.

    • merriweather on 24/11/2024 - 14:13

      Sometimes yes but it’s not bulletproof. I was also trying to get a Linux distribution this morning and it failed which is the first time in a few months I’ve had that happen.

      You're supposed to set up a block account for redundancy. Get a fixed storage block from usenet farm or newsdemon.

      You don't need that much data, it only gets used for missing blocks.

    • Loopholio on 24/11/2024 - 16:52

      I use DS and NZBgeek. I've haven't needed backup blocks over the last five to ten years.

      Every time one of these indexers needs to be renewed, I let it lapse to see if I really need it. So far I've renewed every time within a few days. They seem to work well together.

      • fredblogs on 25/11/2024 - 22:32

        I've only got DS. Does adding NZBgeek really make much difference? How do you tell?

        • Loopholio on 25/11/2024 - 22:55

          Yes, it absolutely makes a difference.

          See above (second paragraph) for how I can tell. There may be stats in one of my arrs, but I didn't find any last time I checked.

    • M00Cow on 24/11/2024 - 16:54

      a backup provider (preferably a block account) on a different backbone is key.

      I'd recommend grabbing on of NewsGroupDirect 1Tb block account when they're $10. they'll probably have one for Black Friday, but you can sign up to their newsletter in about once a month. I'll send you out an email for The terabyte Tuesdays. They don't expire, stackable, but it'll probably take you years to exhaust it.

      here's an old usenet backbone map which might help with providers

      Geek and Slug cover all my shows from Eweka with very few failures. Exceedingly rare to have every available download fail.

        Hey, same set as me. It just works ;)

  • metallum on 24/11/2024 - 14:14

    Can throw in some free indexers as backups.

  • gizmomelb on 24/11/2024 - 14:14

    hmm checked it out and I really dislike their layout, imo makes it hard to find anything. Doing some searches resulted in millions of hits (it was including everything with 'the' 'of' as well by the look of it for 'the wizard of oz'). Had hardly any listings in the games / consoles section (most were years old). Pricing is good but I'm sticking with nzb planet.

    • Bigfellaborham on 24/11/2024 - 14:24

      I never login to search. I just plug it into the ‘Aars

      • finger on 24/11/2024 - 14:47

        This is the way

      • vengefulkoala on 24/11/2024 - 15:43

        I plug it into my 'aars as well. Very convenient!

      • Loopholio on 24/11/2024 - 16:53

        Yes, this is the way.

      • gizmomelb on 29/11/2024 - 21:40

        ars is good for tv series, however if I want to see 'what's new' in movies or discover a series I've not heard about I just like to have a browse through the different categories. I've discovered some great stuff that way - ie: huh? what's that? never heard of it (goes and watches trailer) - whoa! I must check that out.
        EDIT: oh nzbplanet lifetime is 30 euros (about $49 AUD) for black friday. Huh, turns out I registered on there 11.3 years ago (site has been operaitional 12 years).. guess I should buy a lifetime instead of year to year (originally registered when a lot of indexers were up and down, so figured I'd wait and see if they were stable. I think 11 years is stable enough).
        Personally I use tweaknews for usenet source, less takedowns and missing blocks. I used to use the US based providers but they were unreliable.

    • Bigfellaborham on 24/11/2024 - 16:24

      If anything I wish they would get rid of seeing the Linux isos. Best to keep unwanted attention away.

    • Reveen on 30/11/2024 - 22:24

      Agreed, they have the worst search algorithm.

  • vengefulkoala on 24/11/2024 - 14:21

    I haven't renewed my sub with them as I find half of the stuff I look for aren't indexed. More often than not, Drunkenslug has been more reliable.

    • Bigfellaborham on 24/11/2024 - 14:22

      Really?! Mine has been flawless the Sonarr, Radarr and Overseer

    • skyva on 24/11/2024 - 15:51

      I found drunkenslug good, but NZBgeek has a much better layout for seeing new and popular isos.

  • Viospeed on 24/11/2024 - 14:34

    Are these even worth it anymore? Last time I used usenet there were so many missing blocks.

    • Bigfellaborham on 24/11/2024 - 14:34

      What do you use instead?

      • Viospeed on 24/11/2024 - 14:41

        Torrent Leech. Has basically everything you need with seed rules. I get around 800mbps on new torrents and like 500mbps on older torrents.

    • jasonxc on 24/11/2024 - 15:15

      If you get missing blocks, you just need a block account.

  • atlas on 24/11/2024 - 14:46

    Hmmmm this or dog?

  • HojuGuy on 24/11/2024 - 14:52

    For any Linux isos, I use:

    Althub, drunkenslug, NZBgeek and tabula rasa to cover all bases.

    • Bigfellaborham on 24/11/2024 - 14:56

      4x the cost? This is ozbargain not ozbillionaire

        I only pick these up when on sale.

    This and NZBGrabit are the perfect combo. 👍

      For the lifetime of the company ?

      • gizmomelb on 30/11/2024 - 14:23

        usually.. indexers were appearing and dropping like flies many years back. I joined nzbplanet 11.3 years ago and only just noticed I've been a member with them all that time, so I just bought a lifetime membership for 30 euros (about $50 AUD) since I guess they've proven themselves to be stable enough.

  • M00Cow on 24/11/2024 - 16:31

    Althub is fairly good for $us20/lifetime
    it's been around for 10+yrs

    I'll grab another year at 9USD. I don't trust lifetime subscriptions.

  • SnoopX on 24/11/2024 - 17:31

    Been a lifer for ages, but it's not great for PC "shareware"… Still my primary for everything else…

    Any drunkenslug invites ;-)

  • hydrox on 24/11/2024 - 18:57

    no one mentioned of nzbplanet?

    been downloading my Linux ISOs there for years.

    • M00Cow on 24/11/2024 - 19:28

      i don't have them..you got any other indexers or just them?

      And do you get 20-60min weekly Linux ISO's or more one off 2-3hr Linux ISO's ? or

      • hydrox on 25/11/2024 - 02:41

        just them… i find its enough. paired with nzb360 and its all automated

  • darrenoz on 25/11/2024 - 02:21

    Any other suggestions apart from HitNews? Haven't touched newsgroup in years, guessing there might be some worth it since my Easynews or Giganews days.

  • vndl55 on 25/11/2024 - 07:37

    Been a lifer for almost 8 years. NZB is the best.

    Highly suggest buying 1TB blocks from NewsGroupDirect when they have them for 10USD.

    Outside of that, my yearly unlimited is with UsenetServer and that has PrivadoVPN included for free.

    • Bigfellaborham on 25/11/2024 - 08:15

      If I’m with HitNews which block account do you suggest I get?

      • vndl55 on 26/11/2024 - 04:45

        Go the EUR5 and scale up if you need to.

    • fredblogs on 25/11/2024 - 23:00

      how much do you pay for UsenetServer ?

      • vndl55 on 26/11/2024 - 04:45

        US 7.95/mo billed annually
