Found this news.....


Lamenting the departed site? Dreading doing Usenet the old skool way? Think the clone NZB sites suck?

Good news: we are Newzbin Two, and we have glad tidings:
NEWZBIN IS BACK! and we are the new management. The crew got most of the original Newzbin source code and the main databases.
We loved it too much to let it die.

The catch? We wont be up for a very short while cos things need to be done. For starters we need a cool domain name; also we need to hack on the code some more to make it run. We are nearly there but it is very complicated. We reckon we'll up very soon.

So don't drift off to those lame-ass wannabe NZB sites. Hang on for a little longer and the Big Dog  will be back.

Seems its back up as Newzbin 2.

Just saw an article in the Register and then just signed onto Newzbin.  Not 100% sure what's going on.

It's the same for me.
When i check in "Config -> Connections" i've got a message kinda like : "Newzbin has changed protocol" I can't remember exactly but it was something like that...

I have it working from time to time. Sometimes a retry works, but also not always. I guess this is a newzbin speed issue.

Yeah it does get through SOMETIMES. It's odd and so very very random.
What do you mean by "retry"? delete the boomark and then rebookmark?
