Never understood the appeal of NZBMatrix. Just use a search engine like Binsearch, NZBIndex.nl, etc.

In any case, with more and more takedown requests being directed at usenet providers, I think usenet's days as a safe haven for piracy are numbered.



Binsearch is much harder to navigate.



If you're looking for scene releases, just use a pre database like preDB.com. Find a release on preDB, copypasta the release name to binsearch, create the NZB, done.

Generally speaking it's very easy to find material just using binsearch. If you want a 1080p copy of a particular film, just search for the film name along with '1080p' and you're almost guaranteed to get relevant results on the first try.


How does this work? Could you elaborate on how to use those sites a bit? Thx


Automation is allot easier on a pre-indexed, pre-QAd, pre-tagged and pre-filtered data than it is on the raw underlying data itself.

Almost all the automation tools spoke newzbin and nzbmatrix.


I don't think usenet itself will be taken down - it actually pre-dates the world wide web - but the battle lines are now drawn.
