Recommend to me a good (and preferably free) NZB download site
So I've been using nzbsrus.com and a few others for the last couple of months to download binaries from Usenet. Not terribly impressed. I would sign up for an account with newzbin.com, but their account registrations are closed. What are you recommendations for a good NZB site? I'd prefer a free one.

Ooooo I really like http://www.newzleech.com/ for downloading the nbzs, but I am stuck with my crappy ISP capped news server, until I can get a newzbin invite. So if anyone here happens to have one I would gladly take it (Or waffles or any other good site like that).

Seconding binsearch.info. I've been using it for a couple of years. I don't know how it stacks up against the alternatives but it must be at least good enough since I've never thought to use anything else.

I use binsearch.info pretty regularly and am 95% happy with it. One annoyance: it's unsearchable late on Sunday nights when it goes down for maintenance. And that seems to be the time each week when I'm in a downloading mood.

For search, I nth binsearch.info. or put ikbin somewhere with PHP/MySQL and run your own.
For more browsable stuff (when you're looking for inspiration): NZBMatrix, Bin-Req (currently down), Release Crawler, and NZB chat.
For TV, Blueflask, which generally has a deeper collection available than the more human-powered TVNZB.com.

If you send me your e-mail address through mefi mail, I'll send you a newzbin invite. I think it's worth the money, personally.
