How to build your own usenet indexer

Since the fall of Nzbmatrix and Newzbin2 there have been several new NZB sites launch and some close. There are still a lot of people interested in building their own Usenet indexer. Whether you want to index groups to share with friends or for personal use. You have a few options. Our favorites are Newznab (NN+) and nZEDb. Both will get the job done. We’ll share some helpful resources to get you started.

There are a number of options still available for finding Usenet content. From clients with built-in search to NZB sites and search engines. You can visit our main site – Newsgroup Reviews – to learn more about the latest software and websites available for searching newsgroups. With that said the rest of this post will focus on doing it yourself. With free source code and resources for getting everything set up.

We suggest you start by taking a look at Newznab. You can use Newznab’s free open-source code to build your own Usenet indexer. They offer both a free version and a premium Newznab Plus (NN+) release that adds additional features for around $20. Most the new NZB sites are built on the Newznab engine. For that reason you’ll notice a lot of similarities between the Newznab screenshots and some popular NZB communities.

If you decide to give Newznab a try then @taybgibb has written a great guide on the How-To Geek site. Taylor walks you step-by-step through how to build a Usenet indexer using Newznab on a system running Ubuntu. You will also need a Usenet provider with long retention and good completion to build the index. The guide is very informative. We noticed that both Taylor and Newznab have responded to users comments.

See how others are going about creating their own Usenet indexer. Here are some additional resources:

Regardless of whether you choose Newznab, nZEDb or something else to build your Usenet index we hope you enjoy the outcome of having your own private newsgroup index. If that doesn’t work you can always fall back on the old school method of downloading and searching your way through the headers for lost treasure.

Usenet Automation Tools

As Usenet continues to evolve a number of developers are working on projects to automate the process of finding and downloading content from newsgroups. The thought of piecing together all the tools needed for the perfect setup can be daunting. We’ve kept an eye on a number of automation tools … [Read More. ]

Here are the 4 basic steps to using Usenet in a jif!

1. Download SABnzbd
2. Sign up for a Usenet Provider. For best results, use one from the US and one from Europe. I recommend Easynews and Usenet.farm
3. Run SABnzbd and add your servers
4. Search for NZBs from NZB Finder, or one of these other indexers.

Getting set up with Usenet is by no means difficult. Still, the average person downloading torrents these days isn’t familiar with the process, and it’s gotten a bit more difficult in 2019, with publishers cracking down on Usenet providers. Make no mistake though, Usenet is still the best way to download movies and shows in 2019, and it’s still way faster (and more reliable) than torrenting!

Since I’m a nice guy, I thought I’d lay the steps out as clearly as I could and save you the frustration of learning by trial and error 🙂

Disclaimer: I don’t advocate internet piracy. This article is intended for educational purposes and though you can probably download virtually every movie, show, or album ever in mere minutes – I assume you will use this information strictly for the better of mankind.

A Usenet client is the software that manages your downloads, and extracts the compressed files after downloading them. The only one worth considering here is SABnzbd. Bit of an odd name, but it’s a fantastic piece of software.

It’s free, quick to download, and easy to work with. So what are you waiting for? Download SABnzbd. Then simply open the package and install it as you would with any program.

Here’s the rub; It does cost money to use Usenet. But it’s also dirt cheap, and unbelievably better than torrenting (or any other option for downloading media).

There are tons of Usenet servers (aka Usenet providers) out there, but most of them are actually just the same few companies re-branded.

For best results, I recommend using a US-based provider and a Europe-based provider together.

Recommended US-based providers:

• Easynews (has a free trial)
• Astraweb (no free trial, but has block accounts)

Recommended Europe-based providers:

• Usenet.farm (has a free trial)
• Cheapnews (has a free trial)

My current personal setup is Easynews Classic Plan ($9.98/mo) + Usenet.farm Block account (€15.00/500GB).

Upon opening SABnzbd for the first time, you will be guided through a quick setup wizard. This makes the initial configuration a snap. Follow along with the steps:

1. Select language
2. Add your primary server info (the US-based server in most cases)
   Server info is either provided in your Usenet provider’s user account, or in a welcome email you received upon signing up. Test server, and make sure it’s properly connected.
3. Step 3 in the setup wizard is optional, I recommend just skipping it.
4. Let SABnzbd restart
5. After restarting, go to SABnzbd and add your secondary server via Config > Servers > Add Server

Note: SABnzbd runs in your web browser, so don’t be alarmed when it opens a new tab for its interface. It doesn’t run in its own window. It can run also if the browser tab isn’t open, so you should make a bookmark for it in your browser. Here’s the link for reference:

Now all that’s left is to find NZB files for whatever you want to download!

In oder to download from your Usenet server, you need to find a .nzb file essentially acting as the address to the file. There are plenty of NZB indexes out there, varying greatly in usefulness.

My current favourite is NZB Finder. It’s a very reliable index and it has never let me down. It offers limited free accounts and a premium account that is more than enough for most users for €10.00/year.

Whichever index you use, just go there and search for what you like, or browse the NZBs by category to your heart’s content.

Download the NZB file associated with the item you wish to grab and save it to your computer.

SABnzbd should automatically associate your downloaded NZB files, and begin downloading them when you open them. If not, you can open it from the SABnzbd interface. Just click Add NZB and click Choose File, then select the NZB file from your computer and hit Add!

You can cue up as many downloads as you want, SAB will download one at a time until they’re all complete.

That’s it! Sit back, relax, and enjoy dat Usenet!

[Newsgroups] How to Build Your Own Usenet Indexer

I’ve not done it yet but I believe many in this forum would appreciate input from those of you who have got your Newznab indexer – for private home use – up and running.

Is the guide spot on?

Are there caveats?

2012-Dec-13 12:50 pm

2012-Dec-13 1:37 pm

I used this exact guide. There are several caveats that I’m going through to this day.

Also, don’t bother unless you plan on getting the full version. The free version of newznab will only index and make one group available for you.

You better have a dedicated rig, no bandwidth limit and a fat hard drive if you want to set yourself up with retention beyond 3 days. You also better have some Linux under your belt, because the actual install process for the full version is not as simple as shown above.

I followed the guide above and had to blow away my install when I had to build out the paid version of Newznab.

2012-Dec-13 2:20 pm

Apparently there are workarounds available for the free version (although I’d simply rather cough up the $15).

2012-Dec-13 2:21 pm

I used the guide and found a regex file which has produced more results that the stock (zero), but I have no way to compare that to what the paid version has at the moment. The guide is about 75% spot on and it required some tweaks, but I have never used mysql before and only have some experience with linux. Google was able to fill in the gaps. I haven’t gotten much time to play with it since i installed it a couple days ago, but confirmed it was working as I had files found and presented as nzbs (which was very exciting . hope this helps.

Edit: Goober yes that is the secondary page I used to get the regex, but it doesn’t lead to any guide on how to apply it to an Ubuntu install only windows. That took some time to figure out.

$17. Not only do they give you the regular expressions, they give you torrent access to back fills to allow you to get your index up and running.

Can’t see anything illegal in that.

2013-Jan-6 11:54 pm

2013-Jan-7 10:04 am

Hm, by NN do you mean Newznab sites? Would it be against this site’s rules to list proposed groups here?

Separately, I have seen results that include a wide variety of releases with garbage names like this:
jPbFt8Yc
WRcDQThx
llufd3emelbacipsed
XQ8Gh6yC
201520D112910O4A

Is there anything I can do to improve / eliminate this, I guess by eliminating them after they are coalesced into a release, or preferably, not having NN+ form releases at all with garbage names like those?

2013-Jan-7 10:08 am

That’s what I meant, but all the rest of it is beyond my knowledge.

I can’t imagine listing groups would be against the rules.

2013-Jan-7 10:18 am

I am actually having a relatively difficult time finding any kinds of ‘forums’ for NN. There’s a whirlpool forum here:
» ··· &#bottom

but other than that, and here, where else have you found?

For groups I have the following right now:
a.b.games.xbox360
a.b.hdtv
a.b.hdtv.x264
a.b.moovee
a.b.movies
a.b.movies.divx
a.b.movies.xvid
a.b.multimedia.tv
a.b.teevee
a.b.tv
a.b.tvseries
a.b.x264
a.b.xbox360.gamez

Any suggestions to add / remove based on that content?
Thx.

2013-Jan-7 10:24 am

Weird, at nzbs.org they used to provide a listing of all their groups.

I’ll check nzb.su.

2013-Jan-7 10:29 am

but it’s pretty big. I was thinking it would be better to have a max of like 20 groups added to NN+. but honestly I don’t know because I haven’t really figured out how to gauge the health / utilization of my system. other than just looking at my used GB on the system itself.

Setting up Newznab, your own personal Usenet Indexer

1. Usenet account (I suggest an unlimited account from astraweb as they allow compressed headers which saves time down the road)
2. Basic linux terminal knowledge
3. Ability to install Ubuntu / running Ubuntu

1. Install OS
2. Obtain required packages
3. Configure packages
4. Install Newznab
5. Configure Apache site
6. Configure Newznab
7. Start indexing

Install OS:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get -y upgrade
sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade
sudo reboot

sudo apt-get install -y ssh php5 php5-dev php-pear php5-gd php5-mysql php5-curl mysql-server-5.5 mysql-client-5.5 libmysqlclient-dev apache2 unrar ffmpeg mediainfo unzip

Now we have our packages configured

Installing Newznab:
First we create our directory for the files (/var/www/newznab)

sudo chmod 777 /var/www/newznab/www/lib/smarty/templates_c
sudo chmod 777 /var/www/newznab/www/covers/movies
sudo chmod 777 /var/www/newznab/www/covers/anime
sudo chmod 777 /var/www/newznab/www/covers/music
sudo chmod 777 /var/www/newznab/www
sudo chmod 777 /var/www/newznab/www/install
sudo chmod 777 /var/www/newznab/nzbfiles/

at this point your site is technically live!

on box with GUI:

on remote box: address here”/install

You will be presented with a preflight checklist which should be fine. Click Next.

Now enter the MySQL info from earlier

Password: password we set during install

Now set up an admin user account for yourself

Give the path to where you would like to store the nzb’s

Start Indexing:
The site has tons of options but for now lets focus on a basic few.
First, under the Admin > Site Edit let set some basics.
If you’re using astraweb, enable compression and set the max messages to some number 100k – 300k (experiment for best results)
Also make sure you apply for API keys for IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes as well as Amazon if you hope to get art working with the releases.

Now save and lets add a few groups and you’re ready for indexing (add group linux for a start)

To start the index, on the server navigate to /var/www/newznab/misc/update_scripts/ and execute

this will build those files into release groups.

Adjust retention and backfill after your initial population as it will take some time.

Good luck with everything and if this helped you please donate to the newznab developers

When it comes to sharing files on BitTorrent and Usenet, it doesn’t get any better than private trackers and indexers. But by definition, they’re very exclusive, so you can’t just waltz in the front door. Here’s how to get access to the best private file sharing communities.

This post is part of our Evil Week series at Lifehacker, where we look at the dark side of getting things done. Sometimes evil is justified, and other times, knowing evil means knowing how to beat it. Want more? Check out our evil week tag page .

Welcome to Lifehacker’s Sixth Annual Evil Week

It’s that time of year again: As Halloween approaches, we’re feeling the need to unleash our dark…

What a Private Site Is (and Isn’t)

The beauty of private BitTorrent trackers and Usenet indexers isn’t just their exclusivity: it’s the organization of their library, the quality of the files they share, and the dedication of their community. You’ll find music in FLAC or videos in near Blu-Ray quality, with users that are committed to the cause. Heck, even if you aren’t interested in the files, they have some of the best forums on the web, and the library is better organized than Wikipedia. (Seriously: private music trackers are better discography sites than actual discography sites. Nowhere else can you so easily find every tracklist, re-release, re-master, or bonus edition so meticulously organized.)

What’s a Private BitTorrent Tracker, and Why Should I Use One?

Dear Lifehacker, I’ve heard people murmur about “private” BitTorrent trackers and how they’re so…

Private sites do not, on the other hand, make you more anonymous. Sure, they may be smaller targets for those that would want to spy on you, but don’t think you can download with reckless abandon just because you’re part of a smaller site. There is only one way to stay anonymous, and that’s using a high quality, privacy-focused VPN .

How Do I Torrent Safely Now That Demonoid Is Down?

Dear Lifehacker, My favorite private BitTorrent tracker, Demonoid, has apparently gone down for…

Furthermore, private trackers require serious dedication that is not for everyone. If you do download files, you need to do your share of uploading too—which means seeding them 24/7 to keep your ratio up, or even uploading your own files. There are strict rules about sharing files elsewhere and inviting other users. If you can’t keep up with the community’s rules, you’ll likely get banned. Private usenet indexers aren’t quite so strict, but have their own costs (usually in the form of a one-time membership fee) that not everyone will want to bear. If you aren’t serious about these communities, then they are not for you.

All that said: These communities can be really great, whether you’re looking to download lots of stuff or just browse a meticulously-organized database by a truly dedicated community. The hard part is getting in.

Option One: Score an Invite

The best way to get into a private tracker or indexer, by far, is to get invited. Ideally, you have a friend or internet acquaintance who has access to the site you want, and can invite you directly. You won’t have to jump through any hoops or go through any screening process. Easy as pie.

Of course, if you had that, you probably wouldn’t be reading this article, so let’s talk about other ways to get an invite.

The best thing you can do is start small. Find a couple smaller, easier-to-access trackers and join them first. From there, you can start using their communities as resources to work your way up to the better trackers. Reddit has a good list of BitTorrent trackers that offer unlimited invites, provided you can show good standing on other sites. (You can also try option two or option three below.)

Reddit also has a good forum for grabbing invites to private Usenet Indexers. You’ll have to be patient, since there are far more people asking for invites than offering them, but if you keep an eye on it you should be able to catch one.

Once you have access to a few sites, you can build up your standing there. Take part in the community, make friends with other members, and maybe someone will invite you to another site one day. Some trackers also have a dedicated forum that offers invites to other trackers, or where larger trackers will “recruit” new members. These are usually for “power users” only, so you’ll have to have good standing in the site before you can access it.

Usenet is a wonderful service for finding and downloading digital media, giving you speed and reliability you won’t find with other file-sharing options—like, say, BitTorrent. Here’s a quick guide on setting up and getting started with Usenet.

An Introduction to Usenet

What is Usenet?
Rather than dive into a full history of Usenet, let’s talk about how it’s relevant to you. Usenet was originally designed as a bulletin-board service, and so there’s a ton of text content available on Usenet, but once binary newsgroups made their way into Usenet, it quickly became a popular place to find any sort of files that interest you. A site called Newzbin started indexing the binaries available on Usenet and creating the NZB file format. An NZB file is basically the Usenet equivalent of BitTorrent’s torrent file, in that when you download an NZB, you’re simply downloading a file that points to files available on Usenet. Applications supporting the NZB format can use them to make downloading Usenet binaries a piece of cake. In this guide, we’re going walk through how to set up Usenet access, configure a newsreader, and then find NZB files so you can get the content you want.

Regarding the First Rule and Other Issues

Step One: Choosing a Usenet Service Provider

Unlike most file-sharing services nowadays, Usenet is not peer-to-peer. While in rare cases you might get some poor level of access through your Internet service provider, you’re going to want to pay for Usenet access that will actually prove useful. Currently I use Newshosting , several more (and potentially better) choices exist, such as GigaNews and Astraweb . These are all good options, but you can choose whatever Usenet provider you’d like. When comparing providers, here are a few things you’ll want to look at:

• Days of Full Binary Retention – With massive amounts of data being added to Usenet servers every day, it can’t all be stored forever. Retention is the number of days you’re guaranteed to have access to a file after its original posting date. Most providers offer something around 200 days, and in most cases that’s sufficient, but there will be circumstances in which you’ll want access to older data. A year is usually sufficient for most people, but some providers (like GigaNews ) offer very high retention rates as high as two years. It’s important to check the type of retention advertised. Some providers will separate their binary retention from their text retention when their text retention number is significantly higher (for example, GigaNews retains binaries in full for 1,048 and text for 2,900 days).
• Monthly Transfer – Generally measured in GB, this is the the allotment of data you can download for the month. In most cases you’re going to want a plan that offers unlimited transfer, but most Usenet service providers offer plans with data caps generally ranging from 5 to 50 GB.
• Connections – Every Usenet service provider caps the number of simultaneous connections you can make at a single time through your account. This is relevant for a couple of reasons. First, most of the files you’ll download are split into parts and you may want to download those parts concurrently, as this can often be faster than downloading one file at a time. The number of connections you pay for is directly related to the number of files you can download at a given time. Also, if you want to use your account from different locations at the same time or share your account with someone else, you can split up the number of connections between locations so only one account is needed. Personally, I use eight connections at a time, but my account includes 20. Generally, no matter what type of account you choose, you’ll end up with a sufficient number of connections—if not more than you’ll ever need.
• Security – In most cases SSL and other security options cost extra but may be something you want to consider. If you want to take any extra measures to encrypt the data moving between your Usenet service provider and you, make sure you take a look at what each provider offers you, as various security options are available with most.
• Support – While it’s unlikely you’re really ever going to need to contact support, it’s good to know it exists with a decent response time. Generally the contact method is only via email, but that should be good enough so long as they promise to get back to you within a day.
• Cancellation and Trial Periods – When trying out a new provider for the first time, make sure you can easily cancel your account without incurring any fees. It’s best to not pre-pay for several months (or years) of service ahead of time until you’ve tested out the waters for a month or two to make sure the provider will work well for your needs.

มีตัวทำดัชนี NZB มากมายเช่น NZB Matrix และ NZBs (dot) ORG แต่มีเพียงดัชนีเท่านั้น บาง ของ Usenet ต่อไปนี้เป็นวิธีสร้างตัวสร้างดัชนีของคุณเองเพื่อให้คุณสามารถจัดทำดัชนีสิ่งที่คุณต้องการ.

สิ่งที่คุณต้องการ:

• คอมพิวเตอร์ที่ใช้งาน Ubuntu.
• บัญชี Usenet.
• ความเข้าใจพื้นฐานของเทอร์มินัล Linux.
• การเชื่อมต่ออินเทอร์เน็ตที่ดี.

การติดตั้ง NewzNab

นี่จะให้เทอร์มินัลทำงานภายใต้บริบทความปลอดภัยของรูทด้วยวิธีนี้เราไม่ต้องพิมพ์ sudo ต่อไป.

สิ่งที่เกี่ยวข้องกับเว็บไซต์ส่วนใหญ่บน Ubuntu นั้นอาศัยอยู่ใน / var / www ดังนั้นให้สร้างไดเรกทอรีสำหรับการติดตั้งและตั้งค่าการอนุญาตที่สามารถเขียนได้ในโฟลเดอร์:

chmod 777 / var / www / newznab

apt-get install -y php5 php5-dev php-pear

เราจำเป็นต้องติดตั้งส่วนขยาย PHP พิเศษอีกสองสามตัวเช่นกัน:

apt-get install -y php5-gd php5-mysql php5-curl

สิ่งต่อไปที่เราต้องทำคือแก้ไขการกำหนดค่า PHP เราจะใช้นาโนนี้:

คุณจะต้องเปลี่ยนการตั้งค่า date.timezone คุณสามารถรับรายการทั้งหมดของค่าที่เป็นไปได้ที่นี่.

apt-get install mysql-client-5.5

apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev

เราจะต้องทำการเปลี่ยนแปลงแบบเดียวกันกับที่เราทำกับการกำหนดค่า PHP พื้นฐานกับการกำหนดค่า Apache นอกจากนี้ยังมีการตั้งค่าเพิ่มเติมที่จำเป็นต้องเปลี่ยนอีกครั้งเราจะใช้นาโน:

• memory_limit = -1
• max_execution_time = 120
• date.timezone = ยุโรป / ลอนดอน

ตอนนี้เราจำเป็นต้องสร้างการกำหนดค่า Apache ที่เหมาะสมสำหรับเว็บไซต์ของเราดังนั้นให้เรียกใช้:

nano / etc / apache2 / sites-available / newznab

เมื่อ nano เปิดวางสิ่งต่อไปนี้ลงในไฟล์:

ServerAdmin webmaster @ localhost
ชื่อเซิร์ฟเวอร์โฮสต์

DocumentRoot / var / www / newznab / www
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
LogLevel เตือน

ตอนนี้สิ่งที่จำเป็นต้องมีการติดตั้งไว้ก่อนแล้วเราสามารถติดตั้ง NewzNab ได้ดังนั้นตรงไปที่หน้าดาวน์โหลดและหยิบสำเนาของ NewzNab Classic.

ตอนนี้เปิดเทอร์มินัลใหม่และเรียกใช้คำสั่งต่อไปนี้เพื่อลงทะเบียน NewzNab เป็นเว็บไซต์เริ่มต้นรวมถึงเปิดใช้งาน mod-rewrite.

sudo a2dissite เริ่มต้น
sudo a2ensite newznab
sudo a2enmod เขียนใหม่
sudo service apache2 เริ่มต้นใหม่

คุณอาจสังเกตเห็นข้อผิดพลาดเมื่อคุณรันคำสั่งรีสตาร์ทนี่เป็นเพราะเราใช้ localhost ในไฟล์ config ของเราเพียงแค่ละเว้นและดำเนินการต่อ.

sudo chmod 777 / var / www / newznab / www / lib / smarty / templates_c
sudo chmod 777 / var / www / newznab / www / หน้าปก / ภาพยนตร์
sudo chmod 777 / var / www / newznab / www / หน้าปก / เพลง
sudo chmod 777 / var / www / newznab / www
sudo chmod 777 / var / www / newznab / www / ติดตั้ง
sudo chmod 777 / var / www / newznab / nzbfiles /

องค์ประกอบ

ตอนนี้เราได้ติดตั้ง NewzNab แล้วเราจำเป็นต้องกำหนดค่าให้หลังจากนั้นจะไม่มีจุดใดในการรันตัวสร้างดัชนีของคุณเองหากคุณไม่ได้ปรับแต่งมัน ดังนั้นเปิดเบราว์เซอร์ที่คุณเลือกและตรงไปที่ http: // localhost / install เมื่อหน้าโหลดคลิกที่ปุ่มเพื่อตรวจสอบสถานะของสิ่งที่คุณต้องการ.

หมายเหตุ: คุณจะได้รับการตั้งค่าสองแบบที่มีสถานะเตือนนั่นคือการตั้งค่า date.timezone และ memory_limit เพียงแค่ละเว้นสิ่งเหล่านี้และดำเนินการต่อ.

เมื่อคุณย้ายคุณจะต้องใส่ข้อมูลประจำตัวในการเข้าถึงฐานข้อมูล MySQL ของคุณ.

คุณจะต้องมีรายละเอียดบัญชี Usenet ของคุณด้วย.

คุณอาจได้รับข้อผิดพลาดเมื่อถามว่าคุณต้องการจัดเก็บไฟล์ nzb เพียงแค่เรียกใช้คำสั่ง chmod ที่ระบุจากเทอร์มินัลเป็นการแก้ไขด่วน.

สิ่งหนึ่งที่คุณจะต้องทำก่อนที่ฉันจะส่งคุณในแบบของคุณคือการเปลี่ยนวิธีการทำงานของหมวดหมู่ nzb ให้คลิกชื่อของคุณที่มุมขวาบน.

เมื่อคุณทำเสร็จแล้วตรงไปที่ http: // localhost / admin และทำตามขั้นตอนเพื่อเสร็จสิ้นการกำหนดค่าตัวทำดัชนีของคุณ.

นั่นคือทั้งหมดที่มีให้มัน อย่าลืมติดตามฉันใน Twitter: @taybgibb

Guide to the Usenet for Noobs

Usenet is an excellent place for finding, sharing and downloading files. Currently, Usenet is the best platform for file sharing out there. More and more people discover the advantages of using Usenet. Usenet has a lot of possibilities that you can discover:

Usenet is a great source to download files. Usenet providers store petabytes (that’s millions of gigabytes) of data and files which anyone can download.

It’s secure and (almost) anonymous. Usenet providers use SSL encryption. High anonymity since there are No Logs, no monitoring and SSL comes for free.

Usenet is known for its extremely high speed: Usenet uses the full bandwidth of your internet connection.

Downloading files on Usenet is extremely easy. It is possible to download files by just a single click. Downloading from Usenet today is easier than ever before .

To get started with Usenet, the first thing you need is a reliable Usenet service provider. Choosing the right Usenet provider is key to having a positive experience .

So many people make the mistake of finding the cheapest Usenet plan and then don’t understand why the files aren’t complete or why unlimited plans have restrictions (fair use policy)

The ideal Usenet provider is the one who offers:

A good number of connections (30+).

Impressive retention. Retention is the length of time the Usenet server retains the binary files. Some providers have only 100 day retention, whereas top Usenet providers have almost 4,200.

Unlimited traffic. Some Usenet providers have ‘invisible cap’ to unlimited plans, avoid them.

Multiple locations for servers. Premium Usenet Service Providers have newsgroup servers in the United States and Europe. The closer you are to a server, the faster the connection will be.

Free newsreader – Most Usenet providers also offer their own newsreader client to their users.

Good price – Usenet is not available for free – thankfully – since payment has allowed the development of a very interesting network.

Newshosting – Best Usenet provider for beginners

For the best Usenet Experience we recommend Newshosting. Newshosting is a popular Usenet solution that is ideal for those who don’t have previous experience with Usenet:

Newshosting offers the highest retention in the industry which exceeds 4,200+ days. Most companies are still offering 1,500 or less and some are still limited to 100…or even 10 days.

Unlimited Downloads + Uncapped speeds.

Newshosting has servers in the USA and Europe so you can expect high speed.

Free newsreader with integrated search. NH newsreader is a nice option, especially for beginners.

If you are new to Usenet you can also get a free trial and see if it fits you.

Newshosting does not keep any logs of your download activity when connected to their Usenet servers.

Free zero-log VPN account

The next thing you’ll need is a newsreader. A newsreader is a standard application for downloading files directly from newsgroups.

I’ve been using Newshosting for years and Newshosting provides their users a free Newsreader client so the rest of the tutorial will assume you’ve chosen them. In case you decide to use a Newsreader rather than the one offered by Newshosting, see our Usenet newsreader software recommendations.

Once you’ve signed up for any of Newshosting’s Usenet access plans, you’ll get an email with the link to download a free copy (Mac, Windows or Linux versions all available) of their Newsreader. You can also download a copy through your Newshosting account control panel. There is nothing to configure (Pre-configured with your connection information on Newshosting) — just login and begin your Usenet experience.

That’s it! Now just leave Newshosting’s newsreader running, and we’ll start to explore Usenet.

NZBGeek – NZB for everyone (not just geeks)

In order to download movies through Usenet, you will need NZB Sites. NZB Sites usenet Indexers keep a large database of NZB files and makes them easily searchable. NZB files contain no actual files, only information about where and from whom to download the files.

TIP: Every indexer has a different database, so it is good to have more than one. For beginners, we recommend NZBGeek

It’s a very reliable index and it has never let me down. It offers a premium account that is more than enough for most users for 10$/year.

NZBGeek is one of the more popular hand indexes. Hand indexes are, as the name suggests, easier to use as they have already been sorted and often categorized to make it easier to find what you’re looking for.

Many files are posted to Usenet with “Scrambled” & “Obfuscated” names. These obfuscated files can only be accessed via the use of a Usenet indexer like NZBGeek. Only paid indexers can unscramble Usenet’s hidden files.

In the tutorial below, I’ll be showing you how to grab your NZB File from NZBGeek

Search for content on NZBGeek

Download an NZB file – Click the cloud icon to start your NZB download.

Now you can give this NZB file you have to Newshosting Newsreader and it will download everything automatically, and even decompress and repair it when needed.

As you can see above, the video files are downloading at a speed of 39 MB/s which is 312 Mbps. NZB files make accessing files on Usenet extremely easy. Usenet is private, secure, and as fast as your broadband connection can handle.

▶ With Spotnet you can get files that you want from the USENET system without leaving USENET . In this way you can get the content that you want without relying on a traditional NZB Site. Spotnet works entirely via USENET with its own database.

➀ What is Spotnet?

☞ Spotnet is a protocol of USENET, a system where people spot releases. “spots” contain informations (Image and a description) about uploaded binaries. The Dutch are very fond of Spotnet so you get a lot of Dutch releases on Spotnet. Spotnet is great and a supplemental source of interesting NZBs (music, ebooks, porn, movies, etc). Spotnet is one of the biggest USENET indexer. Thanks to the strong community, you can read and reply to comments concerning a certain release. The comments for the content tend to be non-english but the content is mostly in english and categorized in english (at least in the english filter set I use).

② How does Spotnet work?

☞ Spotnet is a protocol on top of USENET for retrieving files from NNTP (USENET) servers . The database is hosted on USENET. Spotnet uses tree USENET Newsgroups:

• header group: The spot is uploaded to free.pt
• comment group: Comments are stored in free.usenet
• nzb group: For spots the nzb is uploaded to alt.binaries.ftd

③ How to Use Spotnet?

☞ To use Spotnet, you’ll need a web-based version of that service (Spotweb) or one of the clients (Newsreader) that works with the Spotnet protocol.

➜ Spotweb: Spotweb is a web-based version of Spotnet. Spotweb is a Spotnet implementation in PHP. SpotWeb allows searching, filtering, and viewing of the spots and comments. There are a good amount of Spotweb sites: NZBStars has spotweb for free, there’s also NZBServer. NZBFinder provides Spotweb with Elite account.

➜ Newsreader: The client is also called ‘Spotnet’. There are two well known clients in the community. Spotlite and Spotnet 2.0. I prefer Spotnet 2.0 because it works for me a lot beter. All clients are Dutch programs but Spotnet 2.0 has a English language setting. Spotnet 2.0 has a simple interface for displaying the latest spots and associated nzbs. You can read and reply to comments concerning a certain release. You can also search for films by category or thanks to a search engine.

④ Spotnet as an alternative to NZB indexers?

☞ Spotnet is providing an alternative to NZB Sites (Newznab – nZEDB – Forums), and the NZB format in general. Advantages of using Spotnet:

✍ The biggest advantage of using Spotnet: It is completely free !

✍ Thanks to a strong community Spotnet is one of the biggest USENET indexer. Quite big in Holland so you get a lot of Dutch releases. But you can use english filter. Most Dutch people do speak English though so a lot of the content is available in English.

✍ One of the the most efficient way to download on USENET without using NZB Sites.

✍ Spotnet 2.0 Newsreader is very easy. With Spotnet 2.0 you can search and download in one program. It’s probably one of the easiest Newsreader, which is very useful for USENET beginners.

✍ The database is hosted on Usenet. Spotnet is designed to be immune for website-takedowns. No NZB Site closed by its admin.

✍ It’s manually maintained so the spots are normally pretty good)

⑤ Which Usenet Provider Works Best with Spotnet?

☞ Before you can start to use Spotnet you first need to find a USENET provider. Use Spotnet with Eweka Usenet. It makes sense to use Eweka as USENET Service Provider. Eweka is the most popular and appreciated Dutch news server (the Netherlands has a very high percentage of Eweka users). Eweka is a high-quality European USENET Service Povider. This USENET server has several advantages over the competition:

⑥ Eweka Spotnet Setup guide

☞ The setup is easy and it is not difficult to configure Eweka with Spotnet 2.0. Once you have it set up, you can use it to view spots and to get the content that you want. You have to do five simple steps in the Spotnet provider settings:

➜ Step 1: Download the latest Spotnet version from Spotnet.tk

➜ Step 2: When Spotnet has been downloaded successfully, start setup by clicking on ‘Spotnet.exe’. After installation you will see the following screen.

➩ Select Eweka from the dropdown

➩ If you selected a USENET access provider from the list, the server addresses are automatically filled in.

➩ Enter your username (Gebruikersnaam) and password (Wachtwoord)

➩ When all fields are filled, click ‘Verbinden‘. Spotnet starts immediately with downloading spots (download information), user replies, spamfilters etc.. Please consider that the initial installation from Spotnet will take some minutes, to build up the database. You can see the download progress in the right bottom.

➜ Step 3: As soon as the client has finished to build up the database, you can change the language. For ‘English‘, click on ‘Bewerken‘ > ‘Taal‘ and select ‘English‘ and click on ‘restart later‘. Language default is Nederlands because is an product which originated from the Netherlands. Most Dutch people do speak English though so a lot of the content is available in English.

➜ Step 4: On the left side you can find various filter options – click on the gray text next to ‘Filters’, select your preferred language – option. You can also add your own filters. Restart Spotnet one last time.

➜ Step 5: Now you can start using it to download movies, series and music from USENET. Using spotnet is easy.

➩ The interface is great and you can search for films by category

➩ or thanks to a search engine .

➩ We downloaded the classic 1968 horror movie Night of the Living Dead (public domain). Note: The 39 steps is a public domain movie, which means that anyone can legally download and/or share it for free.

➩ Spotnet 2.0 uses internal downloader for downloading, repairing and decompressing. You can use it alone if your downloading habits don’t require an extra USENET Service provider. Once in a while, we encountered an incomplete file, but generally, they loaded very well. In case of incomplete files you should use NZBGet as external downloader for adding a second server.

➩ Please post a small thanks and rate their spot when using a spot by one of the spotters to acknowledge their hard work.

☛ Spotnet offers a nice alternative to NZB sites and Newznab indexers. One of the best way to download from USENET is with Spotnet 2 and Eweka. Couldn’t be easier. ☚

➩ Enjoy USENET without having to leave your newsreader
