Best Usenet provider for Australians
Hey everyone, I live in Australia and I was looking for advice on choosing a Usenet provider for someone like me who lives in Australia, I don't really care about stuff like a VPN included (as I won't use it but I'm not opposed to using a service that includes one). Currently I'm setting my eyes on Newshosting but I was looking if anyone had any separate opinions on the matter.

Can unhealthy files be healed?
If I encounter a usenet file that is unhealthy below the PAR2 threshold to repair it after download, can these files ever be healed?
I'm asking because Radarr sometimes blocks releases if they are unhealthy and I'm wondering if there's any point to retry them again in the future (if there's no suitable alternative anyway).
Edit: Thanks for the suggestion with the second usenett provider. I'll look into that. But I'm still curious if on the same usenet network, these missing parts can get re-uploaded for the same file/nzb?

What exactly is the difference between "Date", "Posted" and "Date-Received"?
So this sub seems to mostly be about usenet binaries, but /r/ClassicUsenet is restricted so I don't know where else to ask this. I've been going through some old usenet archives and I've noticed a lot of date oddities in messages and wasn't sure why. Date and Posted seem to be usually the same, but Date-Received can vary wildly. Sometimes its a little later than the others, but sometimes it's many days later, and sometimes it's several days before. It's apparently supposed to be "the date a message was received on the local system", which to me would suggest it should be later than Date, but then why have I seen it up to a week earlier than Date sometimes? And it isn't just a bug - a few message authors have signed their posts manually with dates that match the earlier Date-Received instead of the later Date. But if DR being earlier is more accurate, how is it way later other times?. Any oldschool usenet experts who might be able to explain which is the more trustworthy date?

Pre 2009 items?
Trying to get some old posts o know were in a binaries group but my provider only shows headers back to 2009 now, nothing prior. Any providers out there still got files from before 2009?

Newsdemon posted a Valentines Deal $0.50 for first month then $24/year forever
From their emails and their subreddit:
# Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
Here is a special deal for those looking to complete their setup, get started on a setup, or just looking for the best deal in Usenet!
https://members.newsdemon.com/billinginfo.php?pricepointid=2026021101
The Deal: $0.50 for the first month, and then only $24 per year afterwards.
Questions:
Did you say only $0.50??
Why yes, I did say FIFTY CENTS for the first month and yes, that's not even enough to cover our merchant fees on the transaction, but we feel really confident you will love our service and want to continue with us. Then your $24 will help us pay the hamsters that run in the wheels that power our service.
Does it continue at $24 every year until I cancel?
Yes, it does! No need to stack or pre-purchase umpteen years of service to guarantee the low price. Just sign up now and this is the price we will bill you at forever.
How can you provide such a high quality Usenet service at this kind of price when literally everything else in the world is getting more expensive?
I don't know. lol But we are...so lock in your price before we change our minds.
Is this a good Valentine's gift for me to give my spouse or sig other?
YES! Totally! Wait, maybe not. Might want to give something with a little more personality, but I am not a couples therapist. You decide, but if you do, I am not responsible for the outcome.

Just got a usenet going for the first time. Im using nzbgeek and holy this is so much better than the alternative, not needing to worry about seeders is so nice

Does anyone here know if nzb.life website is undergoing maintenance?
Their old and new domains resolve, but I get http status code 522 from the curl command line utility and from my browser for both.
o/c the most important think, their indexer, is unreachable.
I discovered they have a Twitter account but it looks abandoned with their last post in 2017. I'll look around the Web a bit more to see if I can find any news. nzb.life of one of my fav indexers, so I hope that this is temporary!

Are there indexers focussed on STL files?
Recently discovered Usenet. As I am a 3d printing enthusiast, im wondering if there is an indexer that allows searching for STL Files aswell. I read of "birds of binaries" but it seems to be dead.

What is going on with my sabnzbd speed?
What is going on with my sabnzbd speed? it runs fine for a bit and then starts bouncing up and down. I don't think it always did this. Just started looking recently when it felt like downloads were slow.
In ESXi I see disk throughput is low but latency is high suggesting lots of small writes which makes sense with usenet. I think it runs fine until the Article Cache Limit (which is 1GB) fills up and then it starts writing to disk. This is a SSD with the incomplete/complete folder on it which then from there is moved to spinning drives.
What is the solution? I got plenty of RAM on this server not in use. Should I bump Article Cache Limit to like 50GB?

90s user here...
I'm aware that there are a number of us veteran computer users who had huge fun exploring the ancient WWW. Newsgroups gave us access to a vast community of interested people who shared interests and wished to put the whole thing to good use.
On my attempted return to the fray, I'm met with demands for payment and apparent danger signs all over the place.
Has Reddit become the natural successor?

Using Newshosting.com's site kinda sucks
I've reset my password several times in an attempt to get into my account. I still can't log in. 100% positive I'm using the newest password. Password reset emails take a long time to arrive. Then when I reset it says that it worked, but when I try to log in I can't log in with the new password. It's behaving like there's a queue of password update events in the backend that aren't getting consumed.
Even waiting a few minutes for the new password to "take" doesn't work, I still can't log in with the new password.
And overall everything on the site is slow (the parts that I can actually get to anyway).
I want to see if it's set to auto-renew, but I can't get in to the site. So it's going to auto-renew, maybe, and I can't even get in to the site to turn it off or check.
Just a bad user experience.
edit: so I tried to contact support. I type out a whole message, check the "I'm not a robot" and hit Submit. The captcha resets and nothing happens. So I can't send a message to support to get help with their site not working. before pressing "Create Ticket": https://i.imgur.com/KRp8oeq.png -- after: https://i.imgur.com/PF1F970.png
this is kind of a problem: https://i.imgur.com/D91UgS4.png -- they didn't allowlist their front end to post to the backend?

NzbPlanet account disabled for scraping, now being ignored?
I’ve been a lifetime member for a few years now. I recently found out my API key wasn’t working, as I could search for entries, but not grab them. So I logged into the site and changed it. It still didn’t work, so I submitted a request with the websites contact form. I got a reply back in a couple of hours saying my account has been disabled for scraping. I only use the arr stack, so replied to the email advising this. I then went back to the site to see if I could see anything else on my account page, but the account had fully been disabled and I could no longer log in at all.
Since then, I have had no communication from anybody at nzbplanet. Over the span of a week, I’ve emailed, I’ve used the contact form, I’ve sent messages to u\\nzbplanetdotnet via Reddit as I saw a similar post a year ago they resolved. Nothing. I don’t see any other contact methods to try.
Not sure what I expect from this post, but the lack of communication is pretty shit tbh.
Edit: NzbPlanet have gotten back to me, and I've been able to log back in. There were a lot of IPs on my account that weren't mine, and I was using an old password that could have been compromised.

Keeping Usenet indexer accounts from getting pruned
Over time I ended up with a few paid indexer accounts. I don’t use all of them regularly, some are there just in case, when something is missing or completion is not great.
I don’t want to game the system or anything like that, I just don’t want to lose accounts I already paid for because they sit unused for a while.
Do you actively “use” your backup indexers, or do you just leave them alone until needed?
Is it enough to just have some light activity once in a while, or do you actually log in and check things?
Just wondering how others deal with this, since I’m sure I’m not the only one with a few unused subs sitting around.

Newsdemon Throttling?
I know that ND doesn't claim to throttle but I can't help but notice that after I pull a TB or 2, my download speeds just drop heavily. Like down to <20MB/s. I have an 8Gbit connection and my server is running a 2.5Gbit NIC which can normally max out.
Maybe there's something dirty in NZBGet slowing me down?
Should I contact ND?

Intermittent “Access denied for user” error in Node.js + MySQL (Docker + Nginx)
Hi everyone,
I’m hosting a Node.js API with a MySQL database using Docker, and Nginx as a reverse proxy.
The database user credentials are configured correctly, and the setup works most of the time.
However, I’m facing a strange issue where authentication randomly fails.
Problem
Sometimes an API endpoint that was working earlier suddenly returns:
“Access denied for user …” (MySQL error)
What’s confusing is:
I’m not changing anything between requests
The same API request works at one moment
Refresh → suddenly “Access denied for user”
Refresh again → it may work normally
So this is intermittent, not a permanent credential or configuration issue.

Next important date?
So I blame myself for missing the opportunity to subscribe to a provider during blackfriday sales.
I bought the Newshosting sub to start using usenet, but as I notice there is only 250gb of Easynews.
I wonder what is going to be the next date/event where I could hope to get a discounted deal, or if I am doomed of waiting 9 months until next blackfriday.
Can you please help me?

# Support for Compressed NZBs \#711
You can now import NZB files directly from compressed archives.
Supported formats include RAR, ZIP, GZIP, etc.
This works for files uploaded via the WebUI and files dropped into the NzbDir (watch folder).
# Hardlinking for Instant Access \#614
Added hardlinking during Direct Rename to allow immediate access to files.
When enabled, this creates a hardlink in the destination directory during the download, allowing for immediate access to files.
You can exclude specific file extensions using the HardLinkingIgnoreExt setting.
# WebUI Improvements \#676
Scroll Area: The main view area now scrolls independently of the sidebar.
Save Button: The "Save all changes" button is now aligned with the sidebar so it is always visible.
Layout: On large monitors, the settings interface is now centered rather than stretched across the full width.
Links and Licenses: Social media links have been added to the Info page. Licenses have been moved to a separate tab.
# Windows Users \#699
The Windows installers and release binaries are now signed by SignPath.
# For Developers:
NSERV improvements:
Implemented AUTHINFO USER & AUTHINFO PASS handling strictly according to RFC \#674.
Added support for the STAT request.
Updated OpenSSL to 3.5.4 \#720.
macOS pipeline [\#703](https://github.com/nzbgetcom/nzbget/pull/703).
x86_64 build: change runner to macos-14.
universal build: update build and sign steps to run on macos-14.
Docker updates \#723.
The image was updated to Alpine 3.22.
7zip updated to v25.01.
The stable version is available on **nzbget.com**. You can also find it via the in-app updater (Settings -> STATUS -> Updates) or on our **Github**. All feedback is welcome! Join our official **Discord**, the primary place for real-time discussion and support. Happy downloading! 🚀
