I know I had it for many years before this, but somewhere along the way I must have lost my history with a new computer or install (or something)....
Mine goes back 14 years. 1.9MB/sec, nzb downloaded from nzbmatrix.
Hi all, I had signed up for EasyNews last year. I had gone in and removed from credit card information and I thought I had gone through the steps to cancel my service a couple months after sign up as I did not really use it enough. Well I got charged double what I was charged the first time today. I never received any emails telling me it was renewing let alone the price was doubling. Has anybody had this happen to them? I contacted support already. Hopefully I can get a refund and cancellation as it was within 24 hours of the renewal.
Update: support was super helpful and I got the issue resolved!
Hi everyone,
I’ve spent the last few months developing a new Usenet tool called Zenith Uploader, and I’m finally at a stage where I need real-world feedback. I haven't had any external testers yet, so I would highly appreciate your honest thoughts, feature requests, or bug reports!
What is Zenith Uploader? It’s a cross-platform Usenet up- and downloader with a modern, clean GUI, built for both power users and beginners who want full control over their binaries.
Key Features:
Licensing & Demo: The tool is commercial, but there is a free Demo version available so you can test everything. The only restriction in the demo is a limitation on the upload [insert limitation here, e.g., size or frequency]. No registration required for the trial.
You can find the documentation, screenshot previews, and the download links for the Windows (.zip) and Linux (.tar.gz) binaries on our website: 👉https://zenith-uploader.com
Please let me know what you think, what features you feel are missing, or if you run into any bugs. Thanks for your time!
Ok this is an odd one.
I have used UsenetServer for a looong time and just started seeing this.
If I download an hour long public domain PDF thats between 2-4gigs, I get full speeds on the download (100mb/s - 115mb/s). If I download these PDFs then there is no issue one at a time.
Now it's say i am looking for a full series of PDFs to download that could be between 60gb - 100gb, it will start off at full speeds and then maybe 10-20 mins after it will slow down to 10mb/s or so.
I wanted to test my isp to see if that was the issue so I started a free trial with GigaNews, and I could not duplicate the issue. I would get full download speeds and never slow down no matter how much was in the queue.
Anyone else seen something like this with UsenetServer?
I wanted to send support an email, but their contact me form is broke and cannot see another way to reach out.
---Edit---
UsenetServer support reached out to me (THANK YOU!!) and I will be working with them moving forward to see if I can identify where the root cause is.
Thanks everyone!
I donated BTC for one of the NinjaCentral plans last Thursday and followed the instructions on their donation page. I sent an email to their support address and submitted a message through their contact form, but haven’t received any reply so far.
Joining their Discord isn’t an option either since that’s locked behind having an active paid plan, so I’m stuck without any way to get updates or help.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any tips on how to get in touch or confirm the status of your donation?
Hello. This is maybe a bit of a long shot post and appologies if this isn't allowed.
On NinjaCentral members are allowed to join their discord server. The website points you to the Discord server as the main way to engage with the NinjaCentral. E.g. if you want support, make a content request, ect.
To get into the server you need to provide a verification code to their Discord bot (prove you are a paying member). The problem is this bot has been down for a few days, so newer members such as myself can't join.
If there is anyone in this sub and part of the NinjaCentral discord. Could you maybe pass on the message that the verification bot has been down for a few days and newer members are currently unable to join as a result.
(They maybe could be aware already, but ways to communicate with them outside of Discord seem to be limited)
Trying to figure out if my Usenet speeds are where they should be or if there’s more tweaking I can do.
On a 1Gbps line I’m usually getting around 60–70 MB/s in SABnzbd. it’s pretty consistent and doesn’t really go much higher.
Using 40 connections. I already tried some connection tweaking and basic settings stuff, but not seeing much difference.
I’ve seen people say they can almost max out gigabit with Usenet, so just trying to figure out if that’s realistic for me.
I started using Newshosting and it's really great so far. What would you recommend as a complementary service, I guess something outside Omicron backbone, right?
I don't even know how often problems occur with services like this, so I wonder if I should get full service from other backbone or just block? Price is really important, of course.
Thanks for your help.
Managed to register an account in the recent opening, but I'm facing issues with PayPal donation unfortunately.

Has anyone else been able to contact NinjaCentral for payment support? Was hoping to still be able to donate via card. Tried emailing and using the contact page but to no avail. For context, it's been about a week since I first reached out.
The terms mentioned it's possible to reach out via Discord too, but it seems to be blocked for non-VIP to begin. Is there any alternative channel to reach out for support?
[UPDATES]
Using a random address resolves this. Managed to get a valid invite link to discord too, though verification bot is broken, likely requires admin fix.
With all the drama surrounding the unavailability of Real Debrid content, I’m now leaning towards setting up Usenet. I know it’s a challenging journey ahead, but with some assistance from forums and hopefully helpful responses here, it can be accomplished.
I’m still planning to use Elfhosted’s AIOStreams for the Usenet setup. I’d like to understand from your experiences which Usenet provider you use and how you manage your expenses, especially considering that someone like me is coming from a 16 EUR for 6 months RD package.
I’m only looking for a minimal setup, not a crazy power user kind, but obviously, I need some guidance on where to start. There are just too many articles to confuse newbies like me.
Is anyone having issues with usenet speeds (under 600kb/s) with Usenight and Newhosting?
They test well, but the reality is they aren't working well. But when first added they seem to go hard for like a day or less, then the speeds just completely flail.
I'm using Sonarr/Radarr/SAB/qbit etc and I'm scratching my head over why when I first set them up they looked great. But 24 hours or less in everythings stagnant.
***UPDATE***
So an interesting update, I've had multiple contacts with Newshosting and gosh, I can only say how incredibly helpful and willing to offer support they are.
I would 110% recommend them and I'm very grateful that they actually took the time to reach out when they saw I was having a problem and gave me steps to troubleshoot.
They even followed up later to make sure all was still good!
What a great group!
By comparision, Usenight have been absolutely invisible.
I submitted a support ticket hours before I wrote this post. I've updated it a couple of times to bump it, and add information (I'm not doing it more than once every few days) but I have heard ZERO from them.
No one has read or responded to my ticket, no one has contacted me, no messages or emails and no help whatsoever.
I'm so disappointed as I paid for a year in advance and I have all the regrets.
Terrible download speeds and worse than terrible service.
If you come across them, maybe avoid them. They have so far been a bit of a waste of money for me and it's frustrating as if I'm doing something wrong, then just say so.
Give a newbie the chance to fix whatever I'm doing wrong, or heck, refund me and kick me off.
But this silence and zero feedback is a pain in the butt and makes me want to share my experience.
Is anyone else with Cheapnews? I've been waiting to hear back from their email support team for about a month or more now. I've sent multiple emails and not even an automated response back.
Has anyone heard back from them in the last month or two? Normally they respond promptly so I'm worried something might be up.
I have an oracle maching hosting prowler and nzbfinder won't connect, I've used flaresolverr but it still doesn't get me the content
Hi guys, right now I have been running decyphrarr with real debrid and building my library with DMM (I select the files manually to be sure I have Spanish subtitles or audio, I don't like it automated), and it was working great but you know what happened with RD, so I moved to AD as it has pretty much all of my library cached (also tried torbox but it has like 15% of my library). I'm aware it could also happen to AD so I'm thinking in trying usenet, is there a way to build a library with usenet and play it with decyphrarr as I'm doing now, or how does it work? which one do you recommend and stuff, I'm new, thanks.
I'm new to usenet and just want a basic setup.
Easynews, EasyHosting and Frugal are usenet providers I have looked at. I don't know what indexers to look at.
It would be great if I didn't have to hold onto large files.
I just want to be able to search and download, of it can be in all in one function that would be great.
I live in Australia if that matters. I think Frugal has the only Australian server.
Edit: also came across NewsDemon.
I have a premium membership with althub, but I haven't been able to search or get anything really. Have I set up something wrong , I've newshosting and sabnzb setup too.
Hi all. I have Newshosting (with Easynews and Tweaknews) and Eweka. So far its been excellent. I get 99% of the things im looking for with full completion and when I look at my SabNZB stats it says it pulls some from all four providers. When I bought these i was noobier than i am now, but only slightly. I didnt really know that Eweka and NH were on the same backbone. In a few months it will be time for renewal and I'm wondering if I should cancel Eweka and maybe switch to another provider on a different backbone? I feel like NH and Eweka are pulling from the same places but if thats the case why would SAB pull from both if its the same backbone? If I cancel Eweka will it still pull from NH with the same success rate? Im not sure i need to pay for two providers on the same backbone and my thoughts are having NH and another backbone would be more beneficial. I might be totally wrong about this so I thought I would ask here what the consensus is.
Thank you all in advance!
Hey all. I am running SAbnzb, Prowlaar, Radarr all installed directly on my old Mac laptop. I use infuse to access my library.
Can you recommend some ways to improve this setup? I have read Docker is useful. What about doing this in a VPS rather than an old laptop.
Thanks.
So trying to make sure I am getting ngPost to use parpar for par2 generation. ngPost will work if I use the par2_args for multipar and have it pointed to Multipar in the config file. But when I use the parpar arguments it always fails on the -s command. It doesn't matter if I use no space like the example in the config or put a space in it. It just always fails. Have pointed it to the parpar location on my C drive and also pointed it to the parpar location in the v4.16_x64 folder but always with the same failure.
Trying to make sure I am getting the most speed out of my i5-12600k processor with ngPost.
Any ideas for me to try and fix this? Been at it all day today and still nothing
