Does it matter where I get my NZBs from?

Post by mr.sparkle »

Noob question, but are all the indexing sites providing the same files? Or are some (free) NZB sites more reliable than others? If so which ones? I read somebody having a CRC error when using a file from one site but no error when using what appeared to be the same NZB downloaded from another.

Thanks in advance.

Index site vary greatly in quality.
Also you must distinguish completely automated sites (like binsearch.info)
from moderated ones (like the old newzbin.com).
The latter are usually of better quality.

We've assembled a list of some popular sites:

Not all are free and not all are easy to get access to.
