Last Updated: Feb 12, 2012

Usenet Service Providers, Newsreaders, NZBSites and other Usenet related software and news by usenetreviews.org

This year we picked Binsearch.info as our top Usenet search index because of their completeness and speed of search. There are several other things that also contributed to this decision, like the filters available, and number of newsgroups indexed. Their index includes more than 3,000 newsgroups and millions of binary files available. You can search for up to 1,200 days of retention, and even get a pizza delivered…okay, you’ll have to call the pizza place if you want the pizza, they don’t do that.

The Last 12 Months For Binsearch

It’s been rather quiet over in their camp, for the most part, over the course of the last year. They updated the engine a couple of times, to improve search speed, and returned results, and there was one incident that took them down for a couple of days, but that was short lived. The 2 solid state disks that went bad on them were quickly found and replaced. Then they had to use a backup that was a little out of date…but this was also easily and quickly taken care of.

Binsearch In Our News

They were probably pretty happy that they managed to stay out of the blogging limelight. Usually this means either very bad, or very good, news. And, no news is good news. But at the end of the year there was the incident where not just 1 but 2 HDD’s went bad at the same time. The odds of this were astronomical, but it did happen, and their technicians handled the problem quickly. They had the site back up and running in a matter of a few days.
