Usually $200. Looks quite hot to me!
"Happy March! We’re celebrating warmer weather with a sale on our 2 TB usenet blocks. Our 2 TB (2,200 gigabytes!) blocks are huge. They’re also the most cost-effective way to get in on our block usenet access. For the next few days we’re offering our 2 TB blocks for just $70. The normal price is $200 each, so it’s quite a savings."
nzbmatrix is old school as hell. It has moved on a lot since then. The best in many opinions is Dog, it is what I use as my main, and have several others for that just in case coverage
Dog is USD $10 via bitcoin - https://dognzb.cr/bitcoin If you do not have a Bitcoin account, I can tell you it is worth the little hassle to set it up to get Dog.
Well worth it, I don't bother with Sickbeard or Couch potato etc…. I simply use the Dog's watchlist feature and what I want gets pushed automatically as soon as it becomes available.
I add what I want via IMDB, which is linked to the watchlist.
Others to look at, some will be closed to new regos at the moment.

https://nzb.cat/ different index base to most.

usenet-crawler.com is fantastic. Better than NZBMatrix in my opinion.
usenet-crawler is brilliant for tv shows - not so good for movies.
I've recently got into dognzb and it is extremely good. I've also got oznzb, nzb.cat, pfmonkey, gingadaddy and a couple of others and they all have far too many spam entries; whereas with dognzb - I have not hit one yet. You do hit entries that are no longer available; but no spam entries so far.
I like the oznzb layout and rating system; but that does not help with Couchpotato still trying to download entries marke as spam.
I am seriously considering getting some bitcoin to pay for dognzb; but coinbase does not support Australian users yet. Who would you recommend as a reliable bitcoin exchange - I would prefer to pay by paypal or credit card to get my bitcoin.
I used https://btcmarkets.net/
See this as a guide. http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/bitcoin
Keep in mind that it can take two days for the purchase to go through and that means buy more than you need due to fluctuations in the currency.
Thanks Snuke. I set up a Coinbase account to try and donate the $10USD, but it says that I can't buy bitcoins in Australia. Do you know of any other way to buy Bitcoins to do this?
EDIT: Please disregard, just read the post above mine.
been using nzbgeek, Only a few shows from nat geo are hard to come by,
Other than that, Have got most of my d/ls completed and the few that dont, Put in the request forum and most have been for filled
They are $1 per month (6 month blocks) or $35 life time..
havent had 1 spam entry with them yet.. which is nice!
Wouldnt mind giving dogz a crack, tried getting bitcoins with out succsess, but will try again..
nzb.su
I no longer recommend them due to fee being in excess of service. I did not renew my yearly VIP sub.
How is this better than $8usd/mth unlimited via astraweb or $12AUD/mth unlimited on newsdemon ?
If you download less than 251GB per month, then this Block deal works out as better value than Astra monthly deal or 377GB per month for the Newsdemon deal.
I only download about 150GB a year off Usenet, so in the time it would take me to get through a 2TB block, I would have spent US$1280 on Astraweb. $70 is a bargain!
(That said, I don't need this, I bought a 1TB block 3 years ago and still have more than half of it left!)
Keep in mind that newsgroupdirect is a reseller of Highwinds and they don't have a good reputation over at Reddit.
Not great for those that do insane downloads, as is very possible in the US. I have been using them as my primary for over a year with Astra as my backup, so far never had an issue.
I'm going to have to blow $70 on this, I got scammed into signing up for a 1 year Supernews account with their so called 2000 day retention, everything's dead after year and a half.
If anyone comes across this post be aware of Supernews's misleading marketing.
edit- might be worth mentioning this was $65 a few weeks ago.
Looks like I missed out on the block deals, but after searching around I found this unlimited 12 month plan for $US75 https://www.newsgroupdirect.com/signup/billing.php?deal=C1Fb…
Probably best for heavy users…

What are some good nzb indexing sites these days? I used to use nzbmatrix before they were taken down, but haven't found anything remotely as good since then. Any ideas?
