Best NZB Sites?

Cheers, just trying to configure those now. I THINK I've got them close to being set up, just added "The League" into Sick Beard and seeing if it picks anything up.

Edit: Well Sick Beard has picked up the name of the show, I've tagged some episodes as being "wanted" but now I guess I need to add somewhere to get them from.

If you make a directory in C:\Program Files (x86)\SickBeard\autoProcessTV\TV_Shows for each TV show they will be picked up using the auto import setting (I think) that's how I did it, I used to use a windows sidebar TV Show app, I took the show names from that and created a simple batch file:

Code: 
MD "30 Rock"

Saved as tvshows.bat and when I run it it created a folder for every show which Sickbeard picked up and added to the list, obviously I watch a shit load of shows so the thought of manually adding a show one at a time was far too unbearable ;)
 
When this works, it's pretty amazing :D

Added a few shows, mark them as "Wanted" and off it goes, it's excellent. Unfortunately "The League" is definitely available but it just refuses to grab the NZB's for some reason.

Otherwise, hugely impressed.
 
Weird. I got them manually anyway. Added more shows and it's perfect with those. Great apps, why haven't I discovered this sooner?!
 
I thought the same as well once I got it set up, was the one positive that came out of Newzbin2/Nzbmatrix dying so quickly one after the other, so much less tome consuming tracking when new episodes come out and downloading them etc :)
 
I just decided to re-setup a monthly NewsDemon package earlier this evening after moving away from Usenet for quite a while and only afterwards have I realised the shit has hit the fan with the indexing providers.

I used to always use Newzbin back in the day but now I'm at a complete loss, any of the places I seem to come across now have already closed sign ups/invtes. Serious pain in the hole, not impressed. haha.
 
Has anyone noticed so many files are incomplete these days???
I've been using bin search to get the nzb files with newsgroupdirect as my provider. The last 2 weeks have had so many incomplete files that the par files don't even help
 
Can't say I've heard of newsgroupdirect, maybe they're auto-DMCA'ing like Astraweb.

Edit: Just did a tracert, they're a highwinds reseller, so yes that's why you have missing parts, thecubenet is also a highwinds reseller and I dumped them a couple of months back, it should be noted that thecubenet is much cheaper than newsgroupdirect as well.

Edit2: Just checked newsgroupdirect's prices, bloody hell you're getting ripped off, $20 for unlimited is really bad, as are the block prices, you can get unlimited from a much better server for $11.99 a month with similar retention, PM me and I'll give you a referral link :)

Oh in that case I have no sympathy, UFC is killing usenet ;) According to scene indexes it was only pre'd a few hours ago so I guess it'll show up at some point, assuming anyone even bothers uploading UFC to usenet considering all the takedowns etc. if you google the scene release name there are http hosters :)
 
I've lost the plot with all this takedown stuff recently and more and more sites dying. Think I may just cancel all my subscriptions and just watch stuff on TV!
 
So far I havent had too many problems by moving to other sites, but I guess the coming weeks with all the tv shows starting up again will give me a better idea.
 
Is there anything better than Binsearch for finding the odd thing that's not necessarily marked up as an NZB?

You're looking for a raw searcher, TBH binsearch is about the best despite not being very user friendly, some other alternatives are:

http://www.nzbclub.com/
http://www.nzbindex.nl/
http://findnzb.net/
http://www.newzbox.com/
http://www.nzb.cc/
http://nzb4u.me/
http://nzbfriends.com/
http://www.nzbsearch.net/
http://www.rssnzb.com/
http://www.yabsearch.nl/
http://www.yubse.com/

My favourite was Mysterbin but that closed down some time ago :(
 
There are no Ebook specific sites that I know of but Ebooks are pretty easy to find on general search sites, unless you want something really obscure in which case there'll almost certainly not be a scene version.
 
I've just set up Sick beard and sabnzbd and it's amazing

Thanks for the heads up Paul, i should have done this ages ago
 
i've found these:

Linux / OSX
Download the Sick Beard source and execute it directly with python
Install python (2.5, 2.6, or 2.7)
To check if it is installed just type "python -V" in a terminal window
In the unlikely event it's not already installed you can simply install it with your OSes package manager.
Install cheetah
Use your package manager: sudo apt-get install python-cheetah
Or install from source:
wget http://pypi.python.org/packages/source/C/Cheetah/Cheetah-2.4.4.tar.gz
tar -zxvf Cheetah-2.4.4.tar.gz
cd Cheetah-2.4.4
sudo python setup.py install
Retrieve the Sick Beard source

If you have git installed (use "git --version" to check):
git clone git://github.com/midgetspy/Sick-Beard.git my-sickbeard-install
If not:
wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/midgetspy/Sick-Beard/tarball/master
tar -xzvf midgetspy-Sick-Beard-xxxxxx.tar.gz (the xxxxxx part will be different for every download)
mv midgetspy-Sick-Beard-xxxxxx my-sickbeard-install
Start Sick Beard
cd my-sickbeard-install
python SickBeard.py
