Well they were sued for an injunction as far as I heard, so they are pretty much fooked at this point. Never used them, but that sucks for many folks.

So could this be the last attempt to gather as much funds as possible before they head out of Dodge.

I'd say keep your eyeballs on Slyck, they will have the scoop.

They're biggest 'problem' vis-a-vis the other usenet indexers (although several of them have come and gone after fingers got wagged at them), is the 'humans' involved in the indexing.

Makes it much too easy to troll the bits to find what you may be looking for, and be massive about stepping on one's 'unlimited' account on whichever server.

It'll be interesting, but I think that it's doooooooommmmmmed.

It's no more doomed than any torrent site. If the country in which their servers are held in decides the service they are providing is illegal, Newzbin will likely just re-host the site in a different country.

If they plan ahead, they might be able to achieve that without any downtime.
