thebiglebowski Posted November 1, 2012 Share Posted November 1, 2012 sickbeard / sabnzb / usenet. Not only makes torrents worthless but also cable worthless. Usenet not free (I pay $12 a month) but compared to cable prices, it is nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebiglebowski Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 NZBmatrix got shut down and the rest of the nzb websites are in trouble. Need something in the meantime until things get sorted out. Would appreciate a pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyacrash Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I'm with you man. I just switched to NZBmatrix after Newzbin2 got shut down, and now they're both gone. I'd much rather download from usenet than torrents, but not sure what's next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I read some message board posts along the lines of "something new will pop up, it always does, just give it some time" which is the optimistic viewpoint. Interesting that the remaining sites have closed registration to avoid becoming the next target of intervention. I am sure that if the NZB sites get eliminated, usenet subscriptions will plummet as well. Paid for 5 years of NZBmatrix, used it one. I'm not TOO pissed about it because I saved about a thousand bucks on cable but I didn't get what I paid for. Plan for now is a mix of torrents (hopefully on a private site) and watching tv on websites. If the era of the pvr is really over, though, it will be a tough call whether I get cable again or not. Gonna give it a month to straighten out before I cut my usenet off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 It would be awesome if every network just put their shows online (commercials are fine) and the premium networks allowed you to subscribe without cable. I have no problem paying a share to keep my shows going. The cable industry is just so messed up, though (inability to choose which channels you actually want and leave the rest, promotional rates that expire and your payment doubles, bundles and pricing that cause your bill to get over $100 in no time with HD fees, equipment fees). I've loved my pvr for the past year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shitty Rambo Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 NZBs have become a lot more popular over the last year given many server based hosting sites like Megaupload and torrent giants like Demonoid have been taken down. Stay optimistic friends, copywrite holders and providers are very much aware of this and are coming down hard on both servers and indexes. I wouldn't trust anything that doesn't offer SSL encoding and most of the big communities that provide premium service are closing their doors to the NZBmatrix refugees.

tittus Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I'm hoping Demonoid makes a comeback. I haven't read up on it lately, but I was under the impression it would be back at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Avatar Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 whats NZB? I've had what.cd account since its formation // I was on Oink before that. it absolutely rules, best way to get music ever. I have one invite to it, but it's so incredibly hard to get them that I haven't given this last one away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tokimedo Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 i use speed.cd for shows what.cd/waffles.fm for music/apps passthepopcorn.me for movies broadcasthe.net for shows and i fucking loved demonoid. the tracker popped up again a couple weeks back so it should be back soon. i also used to have a oink account.

I have one invite to it, but it's so incredibly hard to get them that I haven't given this last one away. I don't understand it inside out so I might say something wrong, but you would rss subscribe to a show, which would download nzbs, which are a type of filesharing on usenet, which was encoded through ssl. So you would pay $10 a month for usenet, and every show you could want to watch would be downloaded automatically and securely, eliminating the need for cable. Apparently the anti-piracy folks are going after the biggest NZB sites, which serve as catalogs for NZBs in the same way demonoid would for torrents (except everything is rss, so the downloading was automatic). Without these sites, the system is fractured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 You could also use it for movies and music, but the majority of the utility was in turning a computer into an automatic DVR. If you want to read more, googling any combination of nzb + usenet + sabnzb + sick beard + couch potato will probably explain it better.

andrewlucas Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I liked demonoid. :/ Does anyone have a waffles or what.cd invite I can use. My seed ratio was 3:1 on demonoid with 1000gb downloaded and nearly 3,000 uploaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Let's say I was to get busted for downloading this weeks episode of American Horror Story (purely theoretical...no plans to download copyrighted material). What is the current penalty for pirates? We've all seen that warning at the beginning of movies, but do people really get things like $50k fines? Or in today's world, do they get a couple hundred dollars fine and a slap on the wrist for the first offense? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnystorm777 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Anyone ever check out h33t.com ? I stumbled upon it the other day and it's pretty legit. Kickasstorrents is my favorite though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albie007 Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I too could use a good private music/movie invite code. Trades? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobodybrokeurheart Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 a coworker of mine got caught downloading a movie (can't remember which one right now... was about 3 years ago) anyway, comcast sent him an email stating that they knew he downloaded that specific movie and warner bros made a copyright claim and that this was his first warning. he never used demonoid again.
