Newzbin / NZBMatrix alternative recommendations

So what links specifically an I supposed to put in there?

And do I need to add the API link-thing as well?

Really, I am lost when it comes to these sorts of things...

When you create your custom provider you need to input the sites URL: http://www.newztown.co.za/
and the site API key you are given in your profile

But as I said the site is unstable and they are moving servers so for now you will probably get many errors in sickbeard.

There are loads of results but all of them have been removed. I've tried 8 different ones with no luck.

Add IS news servers and try those, they don't have takedown requests so if the movie was uploaded on there before it was taken down on other sites you can still grab it. The more providers the better.

Good plan that. I take it the address is news.is.co.za?

How do we go about adding it?

How do we go about adding it?

In SABnzbd I went to Config / Servers / Add Server.
Host: news.is.co.za
Port: 119
Left everything else. How many connections must be set? It defaults to 1.

EDIT: I changed Connections to 20. Looking under Status now, I see 19 active connections to IS. Hmmm. Pretty good. Thanks Nduimiso.

Why not add the IS news server as backup and signup for a free XS Usenet account and also add as backup, I've never ever had a failed download using just my ISP news server and free XS Usenet.

*cough* I said it yesterday *cough*

I'm on Axxess and tried to use the IS servers but kept getting error messages. Eventually gave up on them as well...

Axxess accounts are not on the IS network, so news.is.co.za won;t work for those accounts, you should use news.afrihost.co.za

Aha, thank you. I tried to google the hell out of it to no avail...

Looks remarkably similar to http://newztown.co.za .....

 

[icemanoz]

the only thing simliar would be the base platform.

www.OZNZB.com is heavily customised and tweaked, lets compare some key points of difference

we have over 51,000 pages of releases - newztown has almost 15,000
Speed !! i am finding newstown takes a long time to load and return search results, OZNZB lightining fast try this one your self run a search on both and compare how long to get the results.
we offer 1000 API and 1000 grabs per day currently free!!
we designed a rating system with Video and Audio scores and thumb up/down, newztown just has thumbs up/down

lastly our forums are full integrated into the site, you dont leave and can keep searching
