Noob's guide to usenet

tweaknews or free-usenet

Hitnews too :P

Never heard of them but damn pricey looking at their landing page. I guess they are rather good to cope with that

Someone has to pay for that very abusable, no questions asked three day trial ;)

Very well written, explains all the basics. Thx!

Thanks! Useful info to get everyone using usenet.

Got me up and running, thanks.

I have been using several free NZB indexer, but most do not realy work for me.

Someone has a hint for me?

nzbindex.nl/search and binsearch.info/ These two are pretty stable and long lasting. Luck

@ulysses thanks I will try them out

nzbindex.nl/search and binsearch.info/ these are good to start with.
I have also tried https://www.gingadaddy.com, you need to register,
I tried a few downloads but all are missing data.
Not enough data blocks to repair!

If you need assistance??

More information may be required..........

Binsearch used to be good, but nowadays it can't find most of the stuff I want. Still worth keeping in mind... as a last resort. Other decent free (and public) indexers include nzbstars.com and nzbking.com, with the former having a pretty big database.

If you stay tuned to this section, you may also catch the normally invite-only ones sporadically opening registrations.

No worries, you know i would only be interested in one anyways, and that you have to check the obituaries to get in there:D

Then i would have the top 3 :sly:

About https://www.gingadaddy.com, the filse I have downloaded were old >2000days.
Tried to repair them with SABnzbd, response "repair failed, not enough repair blocks(68 short)".
I tried a few recent files, all ok.

@anon nzbstars interesting!

just tried nzbstars.com, it opens up annoying popup adverts

And to fairly abusive levels (one per search), but well, it's a free service.

I just use usernet, seems to be decent.. still have some file issue

Thank you for the tip of nzbstars worth checking it out

NZBindex is good.

A nice and informative guide. You need to be a bit clear about indexing.
Thanks, keep it up.

Thanks for the indexers: nzbstars.com and nzbking.com.
