DOGnzb open for registrations

But I was just giving you an example of one of the features the site has, no one has given me any other of those 80 indexers with similar features? RSS & API are common across sites, but saves me polling for updates (eg saves bandwidth).

The features I look for:

Do they (mostly) eliminate passcoded releases and spam. Can they decode many of the coded (obfuscated) headers? Do they take requests and allow user generated NZB's? Do they have a good backfill of movies, TV shows etc.

The Dog has a lot of good features, but so do many others. The push feature is simply no big deal to many people. When I said "80 other indexers", I was including forum based indexers.

If I judge the Dog against other NEWSNAB sites, it is very good, but so are many others that are not hard to get an invite and/or are open.

Basically, the Dog is one of _many_ very good newsnab sites.

Isn't this push feature just a gimmicky name for send to SAB? The newznab sites out there that have it activated all send to SAB. Isn't RSS pull and send to SAB push? Just trying to understand here, because to me the functionality is the same, just the terminology is different.

Isn't this push feature just a gimmicky name for send to SAB? RSS is pull and send to SAB is push? Because all the newznab sites that have it activated do the push. Just trying to understand, because the only different I can see here is terminology, techicly there isn't any difference.

Also, there is a 'Newznab' site out there that is doing things very outside the 'norm' of the standard newznab software. The results seem to be talking for themselves as far as content and quality goes, so at what point is the coding behind a newznab site changed to the point credit is given to admins for creating a site that goes beyond what we are seeing produced out there in these newsnab sites, as they have through their knowledge and talents created an indexer that's features and functionality, plus support that goes far beyond the design of newznab software. So the question is, when isn't newznab, newznab? And when will the community start looking at an indexer as an organic environment of people working together, rather than a machanical tool? Because it has been my experience that as a mechanical money making tool, it is failing for everyone but the creators of the software. Like all software unless you know what you are doing with it, it benefits no one and just because you can put newznab on a server and call it an indexer, dosen't mean you should, unless you have the right motivation, and for the good of the community that should be more than money, it should involve service, because that is what you are providing, a service.

So the question is, when isn't newznab, newznab?

When it's nzedb?

You use watchlist and use the dog's "push" feature to push content into SAB once it is posted. I would not call it a "gimmick." It's something he coded into the newsnab software. Since nobody else has bothered to do that, it gives him something unique to his newsnab setup. You will probably have to play with your router settings to get it to work. This can be a hassle if you have DD-WRT firmware and a Vpn. It does work but it's not a foolproof. It won't work 100% of the time.

If you have Sab set up with Sicksab/Couch etc. and use 2-3 indexers, you can bat 100%. Since any one of these indexers could crash or go out of business at any time, I have no interest is using something proprietary to any one index.

You can take a Ford chassis and put BMW fenders and a jaguar interior and a Lexus engine in it but it's still a Ford. Functionally, there is simply no difference between one good newsnab indexer and another good newsnab indexer. The public is too stupid to realize that so they keep begging for invites and/or overspending for these Newsnab sites.

I say Newsnab is Newsnab. Hell, you could set up your own Newsnab indexer if you wanted to spend the time on it.

I concur.That reddit sub for usenet index invites is disgraceful.
I have a feeling majority of those posters dont even use usenet at all or like you said have any idea of newznab.

To be sure, we are in the minority. I have led a few of my friends to usenet and most find it incomprehensible... what we do/have/share/bare witness to, is in the low percentile... and yet... there are many ways/methods/possibilities in the NZB arena to access all there is... and unless one wants to support a site by financial means there is really no need to pay for anything... if you know how to find it... with that said... I do like to donate to deserving, hard working sites that I appreciate... (honestly... I get paid thursday... your turn is coming FST)

Your money is wanted again

From the reddit thread

Thanks for the heads up. Got in.
I'm actually disappointed, after all the build-up, it isn't any more impressive than many other indexing sites.

NO SHIT.

LMAO.............I wonder if those Reddit people know what open source newsnab software is. Hopefully , most of the people who were pining for the Dog indexer got in this time.

IF I had the bandwidth (I may have by this time next year) I'd do a 'run' on all these encrypted/for pay sites, posting 'in the clear' all that they have done encrypted and put them all out of gullible user/payers.
