Title says it. Is anyone still on the newsgroups? For reasons I need to amass a large collection of music in MP3 format, preferably full albums, and I’d like to do it somewhat quickly. Is there a better place to hunt before I buy news server access? I been on land for too many years.
Usenet is still very much a thing.
I use Eweka.nl (Usenet access) and NZBGeek (indexer). Works well.
DrunkenSlug is another great indexer, invite only and about $30 USD per year for their top offering.
I’ve been using them for a few years now. Smooth as butter.
How much does this setup cost?
According to my bank account:
Eweka runs about $16 USD a month (I also pay for the VPN), and NZBGeek runs about $12 USD a year.
9USD / mo for eweka.
I’ve only signed up in the last 24 hours. It seems incompletes are a thing, so that might mean I need another account with another provider as well.
nzbgeek cost 9 USD / year
Eweka is ~9 Euros a month:
Not sure where you got pricing for NZBGeek, it’s $12 a year:
