For free newsgroup search try Newzleech.com - Usenet Search or www.binsearch.info



Copied from The best Usenet Search Engines

1. Newzleech

I have discovered Newsleech only recently but have to admit that it provides one of the best Usenet search engines. It provides users with a general search, an option to browse groups, to browse posts and to subscribe to RSS feeds to be informed when a new post matching the criteria is made.
Search results can be filtered by group, post age and size. The results are displayed in a list showing the most important information such as name, size, group, age and completion status. NZBs are created on the fly by checking at least one search result.

2. Binsearch.info

Binsearch offers basically the same features that Newsleech does. You can make a general search, search only specific groups and define post age, size and several other parameters. Results can be checked and a NZB file will be created in the process which can then be imported in the Newsreader.

3. Yabsearch.nl

A Dutch search engine with no English interface. Supports NZB creation and advanced search parameters. Displays size, name and completion status in the results.
Most information on those search engines is redundant meaning that all seem to index new posts fast enough and tend to display the same information in their search results. It’s still good to have some outs in case one of them goes down.

i take these connections are not ssl encrypted for this deal?

20 connections with euro server and SSL. Put my giganews account on hold to test it out. Well impressed. The euro servers are far quicker than giganews.

 

[digidude]

i was with newsdemon with 20SSL connections for sommat like $24 a month, theyve gone right out the window roud:

well worth the 8 quid fee

[Smok3y666]

Virgin capping?

I've joined up too. Used to use torrents but though for £8 i thought i'd give newsgroups a go and i'm sticking with it.

 

[ms2005]

I just use a dutch proxy and continue to use Hitnews.eu, has worked fine for the 3 month since they switched me to xennews.

Can't beat the £4 for unlimited SSL, only 8 connections but suits me just fine.
