DogNZB Review
Last Updated: Feb 26, 2021
DogNZB is a popular invite only NZB site that has multiple membership levels and an easy-to-use interface.
DogNZB has been in the industry since 2013 and has been one of the best-known NZB sites because of their simple custom interface and good uptime. From being an open site, they have now transitioned into becoming an invite-only site because of their excellent reputation. They have a lot of good content, an active forum and minimal ads on their website.
