ABNZB Review
Last Updated: Mar 01, 2021
ABNZB offers an impressive amount of API calls and NZB downloads for both their free and paid membership.
Starting its operations just last 2017, ABNZB has gained popularity in the Usenet community in such a short span of time due to its impressive offering of NZB downloads and API calls for its free members. They have a standard interface that keeps the website clean and clutter-free, making user navigation easy.
Features
ABNZB is a generous indexer that provides an extensive amount of NZB downloads for both free account holders and VIP members. With an open registration, anyone can access their website by registering with your email and creating an account. However, spaces are limited, and registration is not always open. To make space for new users, they do regular clean ups on their site. They also provide invites through donators.
Another feature that would appeal to a lot of users is that the ABNZB site has no ads, keeping your downloading experience distraction-free. And while there is no IRC option available for this indexer, their forum is available for all users. API integrations are also available on most software like SABnzbd, Sonarr and CouchPotato.

Summary
The popularity of ABNZB among Usenet users makes definite sense since they are very generous in terms of NZB downloads and API calls that come with being a free account holder. And although open access to the site isn’t always available, they occasionally free up space on their site to be able to open registration to non-invited users. Their generosity doesn’t just end with the free membership level but also extends to both the supported and VIP account holders who also receive an exceptional amount of NZBs and APIs along with a few invites that they can send to their family or friends. In conclusion, with their offering and features they provide on their site, ABNZB has a lot of good things going on and they are definitely a site worth checking out.
