    Very nice to have yet another option!
    They do have a Newzsnab API and I should update our api indexers table with data soon.

    A reminder to anyone joining any new sites: don't reuse passwords or e-mails, because you never know who's behind them or how good they're at security.

    Yup, one e-mail per site with a different nickname, different password, and if allowed, different ip location for each is a good template for me.



    About Digital Carnage: Generally talking, I am usually more interested in the APIs and rarely visit the websites themselves, but I found their website layout very nice to use. That's something in their favor.

    Quick question to other peeps.

    I'm still on a free tier, but this is now the second time my account has been disabled. Anyone else?

    I'm on free tier since launch and never got disabled (ARRs never downloaded much from there, anyway).

    No. Usenet is dead. There is nothing else for you to look into it.

    Well, it takes a while to get used to it. Specially to understand it, i will try to resume:

    1- It's a 100% paid service.

    2- You will need a provider (Just like your ISP, but it's called a USP. Imagine it a a mega-gigantic ftp server that talks to other mega-gigantic ftp servers. You will download your files from this server).

    3- As you can imagine, multi-petabytes ftp servers would get full, and older files get deleted. How old the files will have to be to get deleted varies from server to server and is called "retention". A server that deletes files older than 900 days will say "900 days retention". A server that deletes files older than 5000days will advertise it "5000 days retention".

    4 - Providers can be expensive, but some of the most expensive servers have deals for as little as 2 dollars per month for unlimited downloads with 5000+ days of retention.

    5 - The speed is as much as you can handle. Gigabit internet? Gigabit downloads.

    6 - Once you have your provider, you can't just browse the server for the files you need*, you will need the equivalent of a ".torrent" file, which is called ".nzb". These nzbs are indexed by indexers (websites), like the one we talk about in this thread (not really the best one for starters). Such indexers are similar to trackers. Most of them have a free tier with a few nzbs per day, almost all of them have paid tiers with sometimes absurd numbers of downloads per day. They also allow automation trough the ARRs using an API, but that is another story.

    7 - You need a client to insert these nzbs you got from your indexers and download from your provider. It's the equivalent to a torrent client, but it doesn't upload anything, only downloads. SABnzbd is currently the easiest solution for that.

    * Note: Some providers provide you a browsing app or a web interface to look for files without an indexer. It can be very helpful for who is starting because you can download directly from this app or from your web browser; But keep in mind that everyone who uses that ends up setting a download client and some indexers, because what is available in these indexers usually isn't found "in the open" for such browsing web interface and apps.

    That's it, I'm in a monologue.

    In the past, I used to point people to https://filesharingtalk.com/showthread.php?t=384765 and free Usenet servers (or one of those abusable trials) and tell them: it's like this, but you'll always get maximum speed, on everything, even if it was uploaded a long time ago.

    Nowadays there's a drought of free servers and abusable trials, but it seems Usenet.farm gives you 10 GB per e-mail address, no questions asked?
