    Meh, who cares? It is their indexer and they can do what they like. Anyway, you guys might want to check out binsearch.. they are at 600 days now

    Bintube was a site like binsearch but they sometimes indexed shit binsearch did not, IE if you couldn't find a file on binsearch then you go to bintube & vise-versa; that is why alot of people liked it. binsearch + bintube = easy searching.

    Well that's the servers they use, that is what they resell, astraweb... it worked for me when I tried it.... which means to me that those faggots changed it so you can no longer do that. Fuck them

    Um, not charge for a service that should be free. If they need cash then sell the client.

    People are now going to use BinSearch or NZBIndex which don't charge anything? ... yet .

    I started using BinTube recently when I got back to the usenet game. In terms of service and retention they are great, I can understand the ire at them charging for the search though. Since I was already a customer I didn't notice the difference. Kinda sux - although I usually just come here or use NZBMatrix to search anyway and then use their client to download the stuff. The search is not why I joined, decent pricing and not a lot of BS (till now I guess). And the client really is decent especially for newbs and media whores like myself - I hardly ever use it to watch media as it comes down but for the occasional sample viewing etc, it is great and it has good integration with RAR and PAR files. I really can't complain - I'm just sorry it sucks for everyone else.

    ^^^ Sounds like the average Newsreader client. Nothing really special.

    I'll be honest I have no idea what's out there now the last one I used was BNR2 - Binary Reaper. Any thoughts on a good one these days?

    I use Pan, Newsleecher and SABnzbd. All three have their pros/cons. One client isn't going to suit everybody's needs.

    For instance I have no need for RSS support but some clients have it as their main feature.

    That sucks. Wouldn't surprise me if a few of the others followed suit and started charging.
