Nzbmatrix gone..

[iNSPECTA]

Woke up this morning to find the following statement:

The End...

It is with our regret to announce that NZBMATRIX had closed.

We have had to make this decision due to a very large takedown request from a company called Wiggin LLC. These represent the following: Federation Against Copyright Theft Limited ("FACT"), Paramount Home Entertainment International Limited; Sony Pictures Home Entertainment Limited; The Walt Disney Company Limited; Twentieth Century Fox Film Company Limited; Universal Pictures (UK) Limited; Warner Bros. Entertainment UK Limited.

As everyone is aware we are DMCA/Takedown notice compliant, and always have been. Once this notice is completed we are left with an impossible task of policing our indexing bots. Even then it won't stop there, there will be follow-up notices etc.

Coupled with this is problems with payment providers, we have been through pretty much everyone out there, in the end they all pull out. There are massive server/bandwidth costs to pay, with the payments in-stability this is a very hard task.

NZBMATRIX has never been the subject of any legal issues or threats.

Also the Usenet Indexing scene is going through some changes, with content being removed from pretty much every provider its making the existence of an indexer irrelevant if the content does not even exists anymore.

So it's time for us to bow out...

Looks like it's good old binsearch from now on

Just noticed this myself.

Could be a good time to make some suggestions for alternatives?

Shame. It's been on the cards for a while though. Stuff was getting taken off before you had time to grab it.

Bugger, suppose it was inevitable though.

This and Newzbin were the only two sites I used, looks like I'll be ending my Astraweb account

Yes just noticed that it was about 8ish this morning then logged back in and gone. I tried to log in to nzb r us as well but it looks like it is not there - not logged in for ages so no idea if its been gone long. It takes you to a different web site now to do with iphones but when you try to register it displays a blank page with error on it after completing all the fields.

I've been using this for a week now, really good so far. . . .

i'm more gutted about nzbxxx.com lol

On the flipside it could be a good thing longer term, the less of these indexing sites are out there, the less chance things will be taken down. Back to the old school way of doing things - wonder if Grabit or Forte Agent have been updated in the last ten years?

i'm more gutted about nzbxxx.com lol

The weird thing is I pulled two files off there literally minutes before!!

[tawny]

Includes its sister site too nzbxxx.

Gutted :'-(

Feck!!

Damn, that is a shocker! I imagine like a lot of you, I jumped to NZBMatrix after the original newzbin went down. So where's the next place on the list for us to hang our caps then?

[pratman]

fuck me that has come out of the blue i just used it this morning to get the man with the iron fists at around 830 and now its dead, and with nzbsrus down until they get their new server up and running, we are starting to run out of sites lol.

[blaggard]

its there, at the moment they have had server issues so they are down, they are in the process of moving to another server but its a slow process. at the moment the estimation is it should be up by today or early in the week but i dont think it will be around for long though so it will be binsearch until that goes then its hoping something better turns up

[ilscuro]

We'll be back using torrents soon at this rate

[tawny]

Am I right to think binsearch is a little more of a pain to use as there are extra clicks to create an nzb and also no notifications of new release? Other than that I can still get all the same content from it?
