I use newsleecher supersearch because I get it for free, not saying how. Though I plan on maybe getting it soon if it is worth it.

Though I been trying newsbin as well with internet search.

Can't decide which one to get. Any suggestions ? Which is better newsleecher or newsbin?

binsearch can be very sketchy.

I still frequent several Usenet groups, mostly some of the more active sports ones (Red Sox, Yankees), rec.motorcycles, and of course, I must get my daily Kibology fix.

I've been trying (without much success) trying to find an alternative to the late newzbin to search for nzb files. I've had a usenet account for 13 years, started with buzzard news and switched to giganews but lately i'm questioning whether its worth it or not. Without a "good" nzb site it sucks...

I disagree.

I'm finding a lot of newsgroups are getting hit with DMCA takedown notices fairly quickly. If you don't get it on Day 0 or Day 1, you're likely to get a nice red bar when trying to d'load.

Not on the Newsgroup Provider I use.

You could probably get by with nzb club. Its free, detects encryption, and there is a vote system, so you can usually tell if there is something wrong ahead of time.

I recently switched my news provider and ponied up for a indexing site, and its better than what I was using before. Usenet in general just isnt what it was just a couple of months ago. The new server seems to have addressed CRC and repair issues, but I still have to manually check everything, whereas a couple of months ago everything was automated and working flawlessly.

What newsgroup provider do you all use?

Alt.binz here.

Omgwtfnzbs Open for Donation Signup though I know most people won't want to do that.

They have a free version too but you need an invite.

Here a great thread from reddit with alist of all the Newznab nzb indexing sites.

Is there such a thing as free seedboxes ?

I have a few more omgwtfnzbs and dognzb invites right now if anyone wants one. Get them quickly because I offer my invites on other forums as well.

Then why bother downloading it?

I download everything through SickBeard, but I still watch GoT on the 360 through HBO Go.

This is pure gold for all the people here cheering about newsgroup DMCA. I know who you are too.

If you still have one that you could send my way, I would appreciate it.
Thanks.

I wish HBO GO had a desktop app that I could integrate into XBMC.

I just integrated Hulu and it works so perfectly in XBMC.
