http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com/nzbs.org back up

What's the best alternative, would it be something like binsearch or nzbclub? Those just seem like low-rent nzbs.org

I can't figure out how to purchase the 200GB blocknews deal for an existing account... or is it for new accounts only? Anyone else tried?

Would like to know this as well. It is an excellent deal, Blocknews has been a 100% good experience for me!

What happened to https://www.nzbs.org :confused:

edit: Scrolled back a couple pages, discovered the inconspicuous login link. Are there DMCA worries in the industry right now?

This isn't entirely true.
The Feds could run or take over a provider and monitor your activity, assuming that's the provider you use.

No. Copyright infringement by downloading is not criminally illegal in the sense of actionable law, and I don't think a single person has ever been convicted of such in the U.S. There is basically zero risk, unless you are under investigation for some other reason, in which case it would lower your legal credibility.

Found this in my research though, this is why you probably shouldn't reproduce copyrighted material you find on Usenet for anyone but close friends.

Anybody else noticing uptime issues with nzbs.org? It's not usable at the moment. By the way, what's a good consensus for an alternative should the worst happen with nzbs.org?

NZBclub and binsearch seem like a step down, so I'm looking for some more robust choices.

Getting this for some reason on Chrome and IE. I think it's on my end though.


VVV Yup tried that too, no dice.

In terms of naming of files on Usenet, such as Linux distributions:

What is the difference between Linux.LatestUbuntuVersion.RP.iso and Linux.LatestUbuntuVersion.iso without RP? The two copies are uploaded mere hours apart.
