Ie mine expires 10/5/21 which is 5th October 2021 (edited)
Access to world newspapers is great for the price
Ahem ahem..... Yes... Cough cough....
You are not waiting for seeds is the main benefit plus you are not visiting torrent sites (obviously but important to some)
nzb. su
Yeah - just twigged when I looked again.
Nzbgeek has a free option or paid if you want API access, it's the best public one
Been using nzbgeek for years... they sometimes have very cheap lifetime membership deals
My fault it never clicked with me until I looked again - the yanks put THEIR month on the left where we put the day so it looks like May is the month whereas actually its October !
That proverbial cat/cliché was well out of the bag in about 2010
Newsgroupdirect are perfectly fine BTW, long time Highwinds reseller. I have a block of many years standing since I dip into Usenet only periodically and rarely use nzb files. Never had any speed, access or completion issues.
Is it worth me changing? Tbh I rarely use the service now
Deep retention, interesting, I've not heard anyone say that before about a US based company! (edited)
As expected it looks like you can't share your account and very few allow that these days but the big question for me is what is the takedown like?
Binsearch is okay for free with no sign up etc. I use a few closed sites for my setup, but still use Binsearch when I want to search manually
Didn't realise it was still going! Yeah I used to use private ones too, but it's going back years..
What is the benefit over t0rrn.t sites like rar>bg & TPB ?
Assuming you're an Easynews user? I managed to get a big discount on their unlimited package earlier this year through a techradar offer. It's still much more expensive than this though and I do like their webinterface.
Yes I also took the discount. It looked cheap at the time but now this....
Does NewsGroupDirect have search facilities which are comparable to Easynews?
Have a look at the comparison here -> techradar.com/uk/…ers
They don't have a web interface like Easynews from looking at their website or a newsgroup reader. (edited)
Can others check too please?
Thanks for checking I'll be buying tonight 😁
Terrible reviews.
