    Can't really complain at that like can you...........

    How Much Is A VIP Account?

    A VIP Account Upgrade Subscription is £7 GBP, this is approximately $10 USD.

    The subscription lasts for 10 years, there are no additional monthly costs to use our Usenet Indexer service. Its a one-off payment.

    Sounds like a plan.

    Thanks mate for that.
    Yeah,

    SABNZB is a utility that takes NZB index files and downloads them from newsgroup servers. its pretty simple to use and has a web based interface so can be accessed from pretty much anywhere if you want to.

    VM newsgroup offering is 20 or 30 days retentions which is fine as sickbeard will queue up downloads as soon as they are on nzbmatrix which is normally next day after TV program has been broadcast.

    So basically sickbeard monitors your download folders and TV backend database to check which episode should be on next. It then checks matrix if there is a matching posting and if there is then downloads the NZB index file and sends it to SABNZB to do the download. Don't worry about all the technicalities. Once setup its very slick and simple.

    Didn't realise it was only tens years subscriptios.

    I've been with them for while now and though their indexing is not 100%, they have all the common postings indexed. newzbin2 have better coverage but their indexing does not go as far (due to their legal issues they had a few years ago) and they cost more.

    binsearch.net is free, has very good coverage of indexing level, has long retention but interface is very basic there is no API for directly accessing the data so does not work with 3rd party apps

    Just so it's clear as Oneman's post references NzbMatrix and Astraweb (and they way i read it you would be mistaken to read it as the same thing)

    One is an NZB Indexer, the other is the Newsgroup provider, so you need both.

    The one off sub to nzbm@trix and the ongoing sub to a usenet service (Astr@web, Gig@news etc)

    Re: Sickbeard and using torrents? bit of set up help please.

    I see, one is an indexer and the other the host as to speak. (I thought £7 for 10 years was cheapo...ha)

    any nzb's grabbed from nzbmatrix are all downloading using the server settings from virmin at the minute, how does that work then? (I've been meaning to ask that question for a while)

    Used to have "easynews" and the like and that had a SSL login that you'd use with "Grabit" or "newsleach"

    but today a few of the 20 allowed nzb's that you can grab for free from nzbmatrix are all as I say downloading from virmins servers? (or at least the gateway to the newsgroups) Is it because there on the free newsgroups as to speak, you know the nzb's from nzb matrix as that's just an "index"

    In the same way, you just setup your news server settings/login in sickbeard, then you set which type of indexer with an API key (set from your nzb indexer profile/console)

    yes, your downloading from virmin...currently, the difference is retention and completeness of the content. i.e virmin 30 days, astra 1500 days, "freenzb1", 10-30 days, nzbmatrix 1200-1500 days

    kinda, what I meant was that if I grab a nzb from any where and grabit fires up then it downloads the said file but I only have the virmin newsgroup server settings in "grabit" if that makes sense....

    there is another free server you can use, for anyone who ain't on vermin and don't like paying...
    Just4Today.NET - Free Usenet

    retention is shit though and you have to change the password every day... but free is free..
