Newzbin - Usenet Search
Newzbin Closed

Regrettably the Newzbin website has to close as a result of the legal action against us. More details here: https://deepsharer.wordpress.com/2010/05/18/newzbin-gossip/

Other half has switched to torrents because of this.

newzbin has been on borrowed time for a while. They got loads of pressure to as they were the leading site. Having to pay didn't help their case i don't think.

Haha I came on here make a thread about this and ask for alternatives.

https://scenereleases.info/

Is "OK" for a few things. Shame as newzbin was just plain simple to use. Is it necessary to pay for those other sites for them to be worthwhile?

Yep.. And the major advantage of you don't have to upload.... Which is where you get caught.

Not just that, it's the speed and reliability that does it for me, and lets face it, if nobody uploaded there'd be fuck all to download.

Torrents are free!

Also using private torrents I can download fast! at transfer of 1+mb/sec (only a 10 meg line).

So can you tell me why I would want to pay for usenet?

I am an avid torrent user, i protect myself whilst uploading, and have been tracked before but i set my ip up to read as canadian (long process lets not go into that).

Used to use Peerguardian2 now use peerblock or whatever its called as P2 stopped working? Confused

Never used Usenet but have seen it advertised.. can someone explain what it is, how it works, and most importantly how it can be 'free' (im on Virgin??) Wink
