GingaDaddy has closed down, after NZBMatrix has been taken down it looks like they are all going to close down one by one.

Looking at nabnzb then you /we can pretty much setup an indexing service without the need to subscribe to an external site. I'm sure lots of people will start to take this forward and keep it within a closed community as public services become more and more hard to come by.
My only concern with this is looking at the public ones, you are talking Petabytes worth of data to get the same level of retention, whereas any "home" based setup you might be lucky to get 60 days.

I'm installing a vm now with ubuntu to stick newznab on it. For everyday use like tv shows and films I shouldn't need more than 30 days retention and limit the groups to index so hopefully will keep all overheads down. If Mick has the resources a bigger community index in the VIP section would be fantastic

Did you manage to get it up and running? Are you using the Newznab classic version?

Let me know how you get on, I'm having some issues with it not presenting the groups or releases from the interface. Downloads the headers fine, but doesn't appear to show up.

Why just in VIP area? it should be in the share zone...
Nothing is agreed, it was a thought, but even if there was (and that's a long shot) it's something you would need to put some restrictions around, you couldn't (and certainly if it was me) wouldn't just publish to the masses. This is exactly why sites like nz*matri* get shut down, because anyone and everyone think they can just jump on the bandwagon without anything given back.
Using VIP as an example is a way of citing people prepared to commit to somewhere, rather than randoms turning up only when they want something, although it could be equally something like a private site with invitation only, as is the case with others.
Regardless, it's speculation at the moment, and me speaking only for myself, I'm doing it to see how it operates and if I can use it at a personal level. IF (and it's a very big highly unlikely IF), I was to make it public, it would be selective.

I get what your saying but I asked for my VIP status to be removed, my choice and I haven't just turned up for nzb's
There are loads of index sites out there that have made newsgroups far to popular hence why they have been taken down.. needs to go back to getting headers and searching..

That's not what I was suggesting, I was just answering the question how i see it.
I agree on getting back to headers/searching, then only the people really prepared to put the time in benefit, although I've become complacent myself with sites like matrix about.
I think Exos has summed it up perfectly.
After an unexpected trip to the hospital I'm now about to install newznab... surely nothing else could go wrong today
Get your wallet out mate, in order to list the releases you need to get the regex lists which basically needs you to donate. It's only £10, but just done it now to see what it populates (this is why it didn't show any releases for me)
Ah crap. So what is the point of Classic then? I'll have to leave it until the new year then as can't afford it right now. Can't find a link for Plus as a freebie anywhere... how ironic
All up and running. There are 2 regex's in the classic install and if I test them against the few groups I've activated, it returns a decent list. Running the update_releases php is where it seems to be going wrong and not returning any releases. Too knackered to look into it more now. I'll have a look in the morning
Use these latest regex files
Goes in /var/www/newznab/db/patch/0.2.2-0.2.3
Works fine
Thanks to deeboi on TS for finding them

Back!
I know a lot of you maybe wondering about the down time and the "closure" message but everything is back up and running. Legal issues have been resolved in the sense that we no longer have any
Sorry for the scare!
GD.
good news.
