For those who 'live' on NZBMatrix (like, have it running in multiple tabs on PC Firefox AND on mr. smartypantsphone, yep, me), it's been down for at least the last 6+ hours.
Now, everyone knows the connection problems they have, it a hosting facility that's got to be extremely low rent, as either the routers, local fiber loop from Bell Canada, or a variety of 'external' things keep messing with their operation, personally I think that they need to rethink their business model, and really consider both moving their operations to another hosting facility PLUS getting some programming help. And that will undoubtedly cost some additional funds past the $10/lifetime fee they currently charge.
I'd say $10/yr might be okay, much cheaper than Newzbin, and IMHO, far better. They maybe need to get a 'paid' phone app as well, one that actually works more like the actual site (unlike the current one or the ones cobbled together for many other sites, don't get me going on the current or past capability of the programmer types out there), anything to perhaps get the cash flow going a bit more.
Anyway, it's not like I haven't been there, spending a Saturday beating on some machine. But it is the premier site out there right now, and needs to pull up it's capability and get to work.
