I can’t vouch for the quality of these, but better than nothing.
NZBx.co - No registration required. Pretty spartan and no categories. Reddit Thread for more development information.
NZB-SA - Haven’t signed up myself, but commenters seem to like it.
Usenet-Crawler - NewzNab Index with open registrations. 1,000 API hits a day.
NZBZombie – New NewzNab site but open registration.
privNZB - Open registration until the end of the year. Thread with more information. Closed registration. $30 to have VIP.
NZBFinder – $10 gets VIP with 5,000 API hits
nzbTV.net – Basic NewzNab site
Nzbs2Go – Open registration
NZB7 – Open registration
MuttNZB – Open registration
FileSharingTalk NZB Kind of an old but not very well known NZB forum. Server is a little spotty, but still good.
NZBgeek – Forums based NZB indexer.
newzNZB - New, similar to NZBx.co. Broken, but still taking VIP donations.
NZBsRus They apparently still up. Only available for $9.99 for VIP in BitCoins. Might want to try the ones above first. Now VIP only. $12 in BitCoins.
NZBRoyalty - Not too bad for an NZB forum. They like to password a lot of their uploads, and they’ll disable your account if you never contribute. Registrations closed by admin.
Remember, account hoarding is key for the long term.
And if you know of any others, please let me know.
The creator of NZB.co has been posting about it over in reddit. He only set it up less than a day or so ago. He is making a front end for newznab+ and said that downloading all of the index stuff is going to take an additioanl 4-5 days. He said he definitely has the server resources that he would not have to limit registrations. He seems like a nice guy and he has been making a ton of changes based on user feedback in just the day it has been up so it’s definitely something to keep an eye on.
Do you have a link? I’ll put it in the main post.
Here you are
http://www.reddit.com/r/usenet/comments/14nxl3/ive_put_up_a_google_search_style_usenet_indexer/
It’s nzbX.co, not NZB.co
.
Sorry about that. At least I got it right in the link :/
No worries, everybody seems to be linking correctly… but putting the wrong “title”
.
I see that you made the X really giant on the site now
http://www.nzbsa.co.za seems to still be open for signups.
Found one brilliant
http://newznzb.wz.cz/public/
I guess imitation is the greatest form of flattery
.
That website it’s beyond broken try to switch pages on any category (if u have vip) and it returns you to the same page. He is taking donation but everything is broken the forums, your account info, API, a complete total mess. You’re not even given an account he gives everyone the same VIP account
NewzTown should still be open:
http://newztown.co.za/
http://newztown.co.za/ is closed. I believe its by invite only.I agree. I am trying to get account everywhere. just be safe. NBZRUS is open but limited to VIP and they accept Bitcons only right now. Ginga Daddy is back. they accept paypal. nzb royalty says “registration has been disabled by the administrator”. Some sites, if you email the staff, they will invite you. Just keep trying and you will get lucky.. cheers!!!!
Wow I did not know it was going to be this hard to get in to some nzb sites. Also I guess several people have been hitting major nzb sites so heavey they are saying they are down when they are not. ex: http://www.nzb.su has a fake “The page cannot be found
” when they are axually running to stop so many people from knocking at there doors https://nzb.su/register The same with a cupple more. This page has fooled a lot of people. I think when everyone settles in to there new place doors will open again.
Its hard. try emailing them. I got into one site by emailing the admins. Also, I got into closed site by just trying. Don’t give up.
good luck!!!!
A new NZB Indexing site has been started by a guy named “djp” over on Sickbeard forums, the site is called “privNZB” and is open for registrations for next 48 hours then will close, I’ve registered and so far it looks very promising, it should do because this guy is a web developer
SickBeard Forum thread:
Coming Soon: Indexer Replacement.
http://www.sickbeard.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=5979
::: update On my last post ::::
“privNZB” is a test site only, for details on how to join when the main server goes live, you need to email the owner and there is a donation of $10 required see, pages 38 & 39 of the above thread for more info, or just read the whole damn thing
if you looking for a site, you use this in google
“newznab all rights reserved 2012″
good luck.!!!!
privNZB – UPDATE 2012-12-13 9:00PM: We are officially closed for registration.
You can email them if you missed the deadline. go to site and they have details.
host your own site, really easy
spotweb.nu
download spotweb easy.
What do you think? http://spotweb.nu/faq
You would think people would learn
why are you making article about nzb sites that still work matter time before they get discovered becasue of post like this.
I browse usnet old fashion way manually
Good riddens to nzb sites they do nothing but ruing usnet
You’re hurting the usenet scene with information like this. You should have a blog with register users.
This stuff is easy to find on google. You’re just asking for more sites to go down.
Stick to the rules even so I know you’re trying to share info.
What rules?
the super leet ruleZ!!
I was not going to say anything about it but you guys gave me no choce. So here goes. Usenet has been around for YEARS!!! and you don’t think they know about it. nzbmatrix was NOT the first or the last one that is going to get shutdown. They hire hackers coders ect… just to go out and look for them. You guys act like not talking about it is just going to make them go away like that ever stoped a site from exzisting. People are not that dumb… Also your on the INTERNET your going to find out info on it anyways all you have to do is winki it and guess what they have even shutdown close/private sites. Shure you don’t have them talking about usenet as much as torrents. Does not mean they are not going to know. Think about this when nzbmatrix got shutdown and everyone was trying to register at diffent sites. Most of them was slowing down to the point of almost getting a DNS. They had to start locking people out. even dognzb, nzb.su had to pretend to go off line to stop people from banging at there doors!!!
It was NOT because of the govement, mpaa ect… THEY CAN TELL IF A SITE IS STILL ONLINE. They did it because people was killing there servers by sending request they could not handle that amount of traffic. at one time. they will eveualy open up again.
I guess in 2080 people are still going to be saying don’t talk about usenet. This method could have worked when it first begain but not now.
p.s. it is not THAT hard lookking up sites. If they are on the internet you can find them. Mike! and Djripz
Reese,
The information is out there but who and how you get your information is your secrets. The problem is and always will be: everybody like to brags about where they get their stuffs.
One a site like nzbmatrix get popular and open to the public, its become an target. DCMA are flying left and right, the fun is gone and so is the site.
There are plenty of nzb sites but what I have mentioned earlier is the truth. If you wanna find out where to go or find, you have to do the works and not some site like this with a misleading title ‘Usenet Secrets’ is gonna help the cost.
Plus, there are tons of forums and if you register to some of them, you can get networks to other sites.
So, that’s why it been the rules since day one when I was on dial up connection back in the early 90s. Before that, it was all BBS and so on.
What are those rules? Don’t ask, find its yourself. Don’t brags about your ‘illegal’ activity, you will gather attentions. The list goes on.
If you want to google the scene rules and their codes of uploading and so on. You will have respect for those that go out of their way to do things for others and only ask for respect in the end.
Its a nerd universe on here. If you can’t follow them, don’t be apart of it and go buy your stuffs because you don’t belong.
People can’t use a usenet search engine to find what they need?
Indexers…yet another case of something that dumbs down the internet for the feeble minded & in the process, puts the one untouched internet resource, usenet, in peril.
Shame on you.
You left out the best of them all.. http://omgwtfnzbs.com is the best nzb site on the web. It is better than nzbmatrix was in relation to updates on new material. I think it hands down is the best index currently available
Registrations are closed, so I didn’t list them.
Do you happen to have an invite for http://omgwtfnzbs.com?
any news on nzbs.org, yesterday I typed in their url and saw a linux test page which rapidly disappeared again, maybe they’re moving servers ?
I heard it had a little bit of downtime, but I didn’t experience any.
no, the nzbs.org web site has been down for a week, I get just a blank page ?
Don’t know. Its working for me.
how’d you do it, I tried x3 different browsers and still get nothing for
http://www.nzbs.org/
double check:
http://www.websitedown.info/nzbs.org
I’m already logged in, so maybe thats why. Try going straight to nzbs.org/login
Really pity that many good usenet sites were closed in last months. I can say only up to torrents!
holy s*** thought I was going crazy and nzbs.org had gone down the tubes, but I’m in now, many thanks!
…it’s only a pity if you are unable to figure out how to use a usenet search engine. why would anyone advocate torrents when you can download usenet content pretty much at the limit of your
connection speed?
SpotWeb is very easy to do. I was just fooling around with it.Its not bad. btw i have some invites. please email me at [email protected] Sibject line: NZB invites. thanks!!! Also, maybe we can trade as well!!!! Cheers.
*Subject
RK, I sent you an email.
http://www.nzbs4u.net/

Nice to see my site listed! We’ll take anyone , and will never require donations.
Running a customized Newznab and will constantly be making tweaks, etc. Our API works & we have a phpBB3 forum.
I am a web developer by profession and enjoy working on new projects!

omgwtfnzbs.com Its gone?
I get this message…….
Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access /browse on this server.
Apache/2 Server at omgwtfnzbs.com Port 80
I joined this site when the matrix went down… and it was looking very nice…….. i am mainly a dvd movie man, and this fitted the bill well,… a lot of sites just index SD content togethr and not list dvd
by itself……. which this did, so i liked it, tho it did not do the same for dvd………..
now today i get this message?
wots going on>?
any VIP members able to access? Im registered but not VIP.
I am vip,and i can also not reach site,so either he has problems,or he ran away with the funds
https://nzbs.chica.be/register
Its open for now. I agree omgwtfnzbs.com having issues.i heard they were short of funds or something.
take care
http://www.nzbgrabit.co.uk/
is open again. Cheers
Has anyone seen the terms and conditions of NZBzombie? Smells like a honeypot to me.
http://nzb-matrix.eu/
Another site I found. I don’t know the quality of the site!! cheers
NZB.SU Vip is back. only for current members. they might delete free members. cheers
Hope I’m worth taking a look at. http://nzb.baconbytes.nl . Would love to grow the community.
http://nzbz4u.com worth a looksie
Nice, I like it! Good work.
I created one also, http://www.freenzb.com – no restrictions or limits and 100% free.. enjoy!
NZBArea
A new and fast NZB indexer
Free basic membership with the ability to upgrade to Lifetime VIP
Special January offer – Lifetime VIP for £7.50 – HALF PRICE
Works with Sickbeard, Couchpotato and Headphones
http://nzbarea.co.uk or Click on the name NZBArea in this post or the one above
http://omgwtfnzbs.com is useless. Signed up because everyone said its the nicest site around, but they do not update their nzbs. Todays new series is not even up yet. What a waste.
So baack to http://www.nzbsa.co.za as they are at least up to date with their nzbs and have API key as well and best of all they do not charge to use their site
found another 1 http://autonzb.co
I’ve tried quite a few of the newly formed NZB index sites which are still open, the one I ended up keeping and actually paying for was “smackdownonyou”. It doesn’t look or feel like the majority of Newznab sites, the owner has customized the front end, the backfill is currently around one thousand days, and there’s an active user forum, for me it’s one of the best. Registration is currently open, cost is $10 for lifetime membership.
https://www.smackdownonyou.com/
Damn! I thought the DMCA trolls were only taking down new stuff. I just tried downloading The Big Bang Theory S04E12, but all versions (HDTV, Bluray, BDRip, 720p, 1080p) of it have been taken down.
From the sites I’ve seen here I like http://nzb-matrix.eu the best. Other nn sites like the bacon one are sloooooow, nzb-matrix.eu is fast and has all options, oh and its free
I’ve never had a problem with http://nzb.baconbytes.nl and the selection is large. I know they recently had some technical issue db table crash but thats going to impact any site (announced in the forum). I registered to nab-matrix and they have a very limited selection see below. 50 item per page * the # of pages in that category. Plus Baconbytes is free and has all the features nab-matrix has but doesn’t beg for donations or have a limited time for registration (so far).
baconbytes movies = 75,000
nzb-matrix = 20,000
baconbytes music = 529,000
nzb-matrix = 16,000
baconbytes TV = 281,000
nzb-matrix = 83,000

I hope there is kind person out there
http://nzbindex.in is another fine alternative …
If you are looking for a good resource of information on usenet providers you should check out the forums on nzbgeek. This thread here.. https://forums.nzbgeek.info/showthread.php?tid=44 is full of great information.
You only need to sign up to the forums to get the wealth of knowledge on there. Indexer sign up is optional and free for public, with a private VIP indexer. Open registration on public indexer. They have a shout box in forums and you don’t need to be using their indexers to ask any information from the mods on there that know their stuff. I was totally new to all this a month ago, I feel like a pro now.
https://newztown.co.za/ is open for probation account at the moment, donno how long for.
https://newztown.co.za/content/8/Probation/
+1 for https://www.oznzb.com
I am very interested in becoming a member at dognzb or nzb.su. I have been a long time nzbmatrix user, and before that I spent 3 years with Newzbin so i lost pretty much all access to a decent indexers and have been scrapping by with some of the sites listed here. i would be very grateful to anyone out there willing to share.
forgot to leave my email address [email protected]
Use http://www.nzb7.com they have been around for 3 years.
Clean interface, no ads..full support for API, sickbeard sabnzbd. Have fun!
To complete the collection here is abother one indexer: nzbid.org
I am creating an NZB site based off some code I wrote almost 4 years ago now, it’s currently up at http://nzb.wotwefink.net .
I think http://www.usenet-crawler.com/ got shut down,not sure,but i get this if I try to go to site:

Dear Sir, Madam,
The BREIN foundation acts against piracy of entertainment content (music, film, eBooks, computer games and other interactive software) on behalf of rights holders and interested parties such as authors, performing artists, publishers, producers and distributors. Together these rights holders represent the lionÂ’s share of the intellectual property rights on entertainment content worldwide.
We have found that one of your customers operates the illegal website http://www.usenet-crawler.com/ (IP 77.72.147.85). The website is offering a choice of popular titles in the area of films, and music that are made available without the required prior permission of the rights owners. The website constitutes a platform for its many users to offer and share these titles which are known to be protected by copyright and neighbouring rights (e.g. Wreck It Ralph; Rise Of The Guardians; Finding Nemo; see screenshots). This is unlawful.
The website is structurally making use of the availability on internet of unauthorized files with entertainment content without taking into account the interests of copyright and neighbouring rights holders. Such conduct is in conflict with the due care proper in social traffic and is unmistakably unlawful with respect to the rights holders whose interests are taken at heart or represented by BREIN. The website is causing extensive damage to these rights holders. The website is being maintained by one of your customers.
The owner of the site has not ceased the abovementioned illegal activities upon demand. My request to you is to arrange for the immediate closing down of this illegal website.
In the event you have any questions please don’t hesitate to contact me. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Hoping not another has fallen
https://www.smackdownonyou.com has the best features and is the nicest looking. They have specialized dead on newsgroup reporting, password reporting, active community and something i have seen no where else, a scene predb list with ability to search for the predb nzb and to top it all off, its low key
http://ninjacentral.co.za is a free NZB indexer that seems to be open and has loads of content + full API access, including TVRAGE, IMDB and much more.
I have been working on an indexer site, it started as an indexing toolkit project and has ended up as an indexer Web Portal.
http://thecube.bluebit.com.au
Has an search and API.
It is powered by the Nntp Indexing Toolkit
http://sourceforge.net/projects/nntpit/
Usenet Crawler has been taken down, the original article should probably be updated to reflect that
We are a new site open free registration.
Come hangout with us and get your nzb on.
http://www.nzbhangout.com Come check us out
go to http://indexer.nzbgrab.it , they have open registration and been going for a while as far as I know, and multiple server farms and boast instant indexing, and can more or less verify that as got a episode of my favourite sunday night show minutes after it was on tv!! seems fast and backfilled too.
I can also recommend http://indexer.nzbgrab.it or nzbdirect.ru, the guys there do a hell of a job and great site.
nzbgeek.info
No sales talk, Just good honest knowledge and experience. One free public indexer, one VIP indexer, $1 month, unlimited. Features are the best I have seen.
Wonderful blog! I found it while browsing on Yahoo
News. Do you have any tips on how to get listed in Yahoo News?
I’ve been trying for a while but I never seem to get there! Thanks
Hello there! This is my first comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout
out and tell you I genuinely enjoy reading your articles.
Can you recommend any other blogs/websites/forums that cover the
same topics? Thank you!
I took people’s advice here and have settled at nzbgrab.it.
Great features and even basic free service rocks, I donated a little bit for VIP status and they have a lot of good VIP benefits.
Tried some of the others listed on this page and most don’t work or do seem to be traps?
Anyway can recommend http://indexer.nzbgrab.it
