Where are you filling exactly Drinkenslug?
What exact url are you trying to use?
Drinkenslug is only an indexer, you can't use it as a newsservers.

What's newsservers, can you recommend this for the first time?

Please read first how usenet works
We can recommend our sponsor, Newshosting, they have a free trial and are linked on multiple pages on our website. It's a special SABnzbd offer.

Interesting, I just signed up for DrunkenSlug and its said unlimited API calls and unlimited downloads. So the downloads are not usenet files like I get from the usenet.farm? Hmm. Misleading. -Bill

@bigbillsd: You should also read first how Usenet works.

"DrunkenSlug" is so called Indexer. It let you search and download NZB files. This tiny files gives you the "pointer" to various parts in the Usenet.
This parts are hosted by Usenet-Servers, like Newshosting and many others. From this Usenet-Servers you can download the various parts (not from the Indexer like DrunkenSlug).

SABnzbd can help you to download and "collect" this parts, combines them and eventuelly extract the content from all collected parts.

An Indexer is only some kind of "Search Machine for NZB files".
