Newzbin legal stuff.

sad times.

You guys know about www.nzbsrus.com though right? It seems pretty good, and you can use it free for a handful of things a day.

I like binsearch just fine, it has some features that are better than newzbin's conditioned search. (like telling you what's passworded)

I also seem to remember some sites (possibly including the one Joose linked) just leeched nzbs from newzbin and reposted them, so some of them might go titsup soon, though it's not that difficult to get them, lots of things are posted with an nzb these days

Hmmm

http://www.newzbin.com/

Appears to be back up...

[Dr. kitteny berk]

Yeah, someone stole the code and did that, would be wary.

Might be worth mentioning that this didnt happen, so (for the moment at least) nzbsrus is still going.

If they stole the code, they did a pretty good job as getting a full and reasonably up to date copy of the DB is impressive if they didn't have help.
And surely they must be in contact with the orig owners, as they are using the orig domain. Unless they stole that too...

Anyway, they already have my username & password etc etc and i have enough credit to last me ages so I can't imagine using it would be any more of a security risk than it already is.

[Dr. kitteny berk]

I'd guess the liquidators sold the domain.

My personal concern would be if , and they're logging IPs and downloads.

Not massively more likely than newzbin the original was, but these people don't appear to be even remotely honest.

[Mr. Johnson]

Is that the word/image felcher in action there?

[Dr. kitteny berk]

no, but it really, really should be.
