In answer to https://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-new...om-down-355504
Newzleech is back up after being offline for several days.
No mention of when (or if) the forum will ever return.Sorry for downtime! Server maintenance didn't go to plan and we couldn't get a reboot till Monday morning.
this was the message for last weekends downtime, not the downtime this week.
Newzleech seems to have quite a bit of downtime each and every month, I have slowly started using Merlins Portal more and more.

How in the hell do you compare "portal" to a search engine? Don't plug a site because a search engine is down, you did it in another thread their are other engines .....

Good thing it's back cause I can't figure out how to find with partial file names on the others. Maybe I'm just lazy

I use SS....and the others seem the same to me, a varying results but generally the same.

Well my good man, to me at least, when I can SEARCH and browse for what I want (like I can with Merlins Portal by clicking "Search")...whether something is a portal, or a search engine, the semantics of it all is trivial to me as long as I am searching and finding what I need. Granted, I will agree with you that binsearch.info is a valuable search tool, actually being one of the better search interfaces I have used. I like Merlins Portal simply due to its "prettiness" if you will, and indexing of what is available. Sometimes I like to simply browse the catalog than just straight search.Originally Posted by SonsOfLiberty

Well true, but it's a forum, so semantics aside, then FST could be classified as a search engine, I thinks of "search egine" as what I listed, because they search the "entire" realm of Usenet.Well my good man, to me at least, when I can SEARCH and browse for what I want (like I can with Merlins Portal by clicking "Search")...whether something is a portal, or a search engine, the semantics of it all is trivial to me as long as I am searching and finding what I need.

Newzleech was one of the few usenet "search engine" sites that also had a section of user-submitted NZBs - "posts" - that could also be searched. Sadly, the verfied NZB posts were disabled.
