Figured I would split this out from the torrent thread.

To start us off, wtf is going on with the TV scene releases recently. Had 3 not complete on me in the last 3 days which is unheard of. The latest Doctor Who, Castle and Gotham.

Yeah, been having all kinds of problems the last month. I'm using oznzb.com for indexing and both episodes of Gotham have failed, had a fail on the first episode of Survivor. Been finding myself having to manually snag torrents more and more. It's really annoying.

I have had that issue also but then I manually had it do it again a bit later and it grabbed them just fine. It is odd for sure.

No issues here. I use Chica NZB for indexing and Tweaknews as server. Had a lot of issues with incompletes before switching to Tweaknews... might be harder to pull down content from EU providers?

117 shows (87 active) | 7708 / 7709 episodes downloaded <-- finally got my sickbeard all full, that one episode missing is Crossing Lines and I can't find it anywhere else, I think they have an incorrect air date for it

Merge this, into this?

NZBMatrix is dead. What now?

Hasn't been posted on for a while since as said, it has just been talked about in the torrent thread.

I've ran into the same issues with Gotham and castle. I manually told sickbeard to get castle again and it worked. Gotham was a no go.

My beloved nzbs.org is closing down this month.

Can anyone recommend a good Usenet indexer that has an API?

NZBgeek.

I can send you a referral if you'd like, but I don't know if that gets you anything special.

Thanks, but it looks like I already had an invite from some time in the past. I see it requires $$$ for a membership. Most of the alternatives I've found require one it seems.

Easier to automate for one
Exactly this. I did Torrents at one time, and I was destroying my data cap , 1TB, with 200+ torrents all trying to upload at the same time. Usegroups with Easynews, and nzb.su Indexer works out really well.

I use nzbgeek, nzbplanet, nzbfinder, drunken slug and tabula-rasa.

Probably overkill and I'll drop one or two next year

I pay because the pay sites are usually more stable, but I get it if you don't want to.

NZBgeek + sabNZB here, zero issues. I did NZBGet initially ,after I dumped the hot garbage that was newsleecher, but AFAIK it's no longer getting updates. Using Tweaknews.eu for server. Does cost some $$$ , not a ton and you can get the cost back in value in one month.

Similar results with NZBGeek + NZBGet, which I'm using because it's a convenient install on my TrueNas server.
Cannot remember why I swapped. Did NZBGet have an option to shutdown the PC when finished? That may be why. I never had an issue with it , just changed.

Dunno, my server runs 24/7 since it's also my NAS and Plex host.

Edit: Just looked in the settings, don't see that option.
