https://www.nzbclub.com has been supplanting binsearch more and more as of late when I need to look up something quick and dirty. Otherwise, it's just raw headers and a predb for the most part.
Nope it sure is not I been getting everything perfectly fine even DMCA content. Just give me a example .nzb that is DMCA and I bet I can get it.
could you share how?
Moomin: One point is that people keep reposting material. So the reposted material is up until a new DMCA is issued.
Everything is still online! There is really nothing I haven't been able to find.. Minus the hbo show vice at first but I figured that out.. Its all about having a list of good indexer sites.. My ability to find anything and everything on usenet has not changed.. And my provider is usenetservers.
With these indexers you will hardly need to go anywhere else.Quote:

www.kleverig.eu - The only porn indexer you'll ever need
www.binsearch.info and www.nzbindex.nl - for specific searches.. Can be used to find anything but I mainly use it to find specific things like mp3s and such.
everything good is invite only. :(Quote:

Go do your magic.
The good ol days of nzbmatrix are gone.
i have noticed this, hopefully it doesn't last very long, i have a few friends who are slowly turning away but i still like to dl over night and watch whenever i want even if the connection goes down (no need to stream)
To answer the OP original question .. No it's not drying up.
Things have certainly changed and it's become more of a challenge but Usenet is here forever as long me fellow pirates be sailing the internets and keeping things real.
I admit retention isn't as great it used to be (ah the good ol days ceratinly were very good indeed) but if you want something today grab it quick or know of a good news server outside the reach of DMCA takedowns.
Part of the problem with take down notifications is the attention nzb indexing have brought to usenet.Quote:

So NZBs are sort of a blessing and a curse at the same time.
Haven't missed a beat here.
It depends on the provider, seems to be a growing need to have more than one provider as time goes by. Take down notices are going to usenet now to and some get more than others, or do it quicker at least.
Is it just me or does it seem harder and harder to manually find NZBs, that are either not scrambled code names so you don't know what they are, or their password protected. Is theses posts just for special private groups that list the pw(s) or something?
It is not just you. It is harder and harder to manually find NZBs - and mostly not worth the effort. I tried to keep up when the DMCA's really kicked up in Dec 12/Jan 13 and was not able to do it without searching constantly through different newsgroups and not knowing when things were going to be released.
I haven't had many problems finding things but still have to find other ways get certain files.
@bumblebsticker
Sometimes these posts are just people trying to get you to their website to either generate more clicks (more clicks = more money) by making you jump through hoops, get spyware/malware installed on your machine, or just like you said, some private groups that want you to "sign-up" (for a fee of course) so you can get the password. So this (although I don't agree with but ) I understand.
What I've yet to understand is why so many groups like to rar their subtitle files inside the rar collection of the movie. It's not like they're saving any extra space. I don't get that.
No, it's not just you. NewzNab and automated indexing had a big hand in where we're at now. NZBs themselves too. You distill something down so as to make it so stupid simple/easy/convenient. Think of where usenet was 10 years ago, and look at how turn-key it's become.Quote:

I think it depends on the provider, astraweb has an automated DMCA removal process which is why a lot of things go missing on their service. I've found tweaknews to work okay though.
My problem is that so much junks on newsgroups that you have to figure out which one to get is a pain in the behind
I've been on Astra/US as my 'primary' provider for almost a decade (probably close to a petabyte transferred at this point), and have yet to hit anything of interest that has been. If of course you're talking about 'pro-wrestling' (controlled by organized crime in the US) and junk TV (close to 100% eventually available on Netflix), you may have a point.Quote:

Then again, there still is, at this point in time, quite a lot that is fully 'in the clear' (no scrambled names and no encryption used) and I have yet to hit any of it that's been targeted, again, if one isn't interested in the categories I mentioned in the above paragraph.Quote:

Not sure is drying up but for sure it leaves in the instant. More and more difficult to find complete archive of all stuff. Had to dowload Termintaor 2 by torrent as all arhcivees were incomplete:sick:
The important thing is to check every day, but apart from that business as usual.
Most everything is there, it is just harder to find it these days
It really all depends. I'm getting something from 453 days ago, every piece but 1 has had missing segments, but the PARs are enough to reconstruct.
I don't think Usenet is drying up soon. I still can find all actual TV series and movies.
also depends on your Usenet server
If you have good sources, usenet works just fine.
I'm able to find 90% of what I'm looking for -- still seems to be going strong.
Like everyone else, I've noticed that just about everything is posted with a strange name now days. You pretty much have to use a NZB indexer to find things anymore.
been using astraweb without issue lately, was getting lots of dcma's for a bit, but havnet ran into many lately.
Looking closely usually pays off.
As has been said above, things are still around, its just taking a bit longer to find as compared to before.
I think search engines like binsearch and the like really has made our life harder, when the were supposed to have the opposite effect. I think everything is harder to get now because the industry is more active to bring things down, including filesharers not only usenet.
Agreed. If you make things too easy, it opens everything up to greater risk and swifter takedowns.Quote:

Its getting tougher but you have to stay up on where to look
Easynews is still pretty good
