Altough it's not really common practice with donations I have refunded you both. Your donations had already been sent to my server provider though.

Thanks Bento - got my refund this morning! I do appreciate it and wish you the best success.

And to the Defenders of Bento - although I donated $50, I still haven't received a response to my original question (sent via e-mail) about why the "cart" function isn't working. That's okay, and this is absolutely NOT a criticism of either Bento or the site. The point for me was that I had donated a pretty significant amount of money and heard back nothing. There's nothing wrong with not being able to provide business-level support with a side project, but it's a tricky balance when you start accepting donations - some responsiveness is expected. The idea that because it is called a "donation" it equates to "zero obligation" is absurd and reflects no understanding of donations in the traditional charitable world or with kickstarter. Kickstarter is built on obligation! There is SOME obligation with ANY donation, and that obligation increases with the amount donated. It is up to the recipient of that donation to decide exactly what the obligation is, recognizing that their demonstrated responsibility to the donor will be be the measure by which future donations are made.

So anyone else thinking about donating to Bento because his solution is working for you...

...focus on the fact that he stepped up and gave refunds to zerosquared and I. He took his obligation seriously, and did what he could to make us happy - that's the important thing.

Exactly. What he said.
Except my issue was, of course, missing releases and not updating in a timely manner...which Bento acknowledged as a filtering problem. You just have to see it from a customer point of view of we gave money for a service that didn't seem to be working properly and were getting no response back from the owner when we asked about the issues.

You still can't use the Cart option on the site until he puts My Cart back into the menu.

Just a pre-warning: We're probably making the switch to TokuDB this week as it's a gazillion times faster at inserting stuff into the database. To do so our database needs to be backed-up and then the database server has to be shutdown. This might take a couple of hours which means a couple of hours of downtime for the whole site.

Please keep an eye on our Twitter feed where regular updates will be posted: https://twitter.com/NZBFinder

The Audio categories are now properly indexing as well! http://www.nzbfinder.ws/music

If you click on List at the top right of the page you'll see all Audio indexed, clicking on Covers you'll see everything matched against Amazon including covers. We'll be running a script overnight to re-run the whole music database against Amazon to retrieve covers etc. for the older posts as well :-)

[Bento]

I will keep on spamming tonight :-)

Made the switch to a fully secured https version of the website. All incoming http connections will be forwarded to a https connection signed with a GeoTrust SSL Certificate.

Great work!!

Do you plan on adding more groups to the list of indexed groups? For some reason many releases seem to be missing...

[Bento]

Could you give me examples? Also, what groups would you like to see added?

I'm trying to hold off on a.b.boneless as long as possible because there's so much garbage in that group.

I need a little help here. I have registered and donated. I went into SB and used the configure custom newznab providers. Added NZB Finder as provider name, site url: http://www.nzbfinder.ws/ and the API key as it is shown on my profile page. I started a backlog search in SB but I am still not seeing any grabs. Could you provide some help?

[Bento]

Please send me an email with the logs

[martiaga]

I believe I got it fixed. The problem is that I had the quality in SB for most of my shows set to SD. Thanks for the quick response though.

Hi Bento,

Site seems to be offline at the moment. Is this a bit of planned maintenance?

Cheers,

Chrm

[Bento]

I see. The server provider seems to have some network issues as more servers are down. I will check with them now.

[Bento]

We're back. Sorry for the downtime.

[chrm]

Thanks Bento
