NZBforyou Review
Last Updated: Mar 03, 2020
NZBforyou is an open NZB indexer that gives regular members limited access to their site and requires a donation to be able to get the full features of their service.
NZBforyou has been in the industry for several years now and is open for use to free registrants. Users can opt to donate to get the full features of the site. They have a wide range of NZB downloads from movies, documents, tv shows, music, applications and books.
Features
NZBforyou allows users to customize their settings once registered. A dark and light interface option is available as well as customization of display settings. One major flaw with this indexer is that it does not offer API, which is a big deal for a lot of users. But if this is not a major concern, you should be able to enjoy the limited features of NZBforyou. They have a forum page that would allow you to post and search for topics on the site, and they also allow private messaging. The site also has an active mchat.
Pricing & Payment Methods
As a regular free member, you are only limited to 2 NZB grabs per day, but you can upgrade to unlimited downloads by donating $13 per year via PayPal. However, they have recently lost a lot of NZB files so you may want to think twice before you donate.
Retention
Their retention information is undisclosed.
Interface
NZBforyou has a custom interface similar to that of newznab run NZB sites. Files are categorized according to genre and further sub-categorized by applicable file size or type. What may be confusing for some users is the number of links or pages within the NZBforyou site. While some benefit from having all these multiple links to different parts of the site, it may seem cluttered to those looking for a simpler and cleaner NZB downloading experience.
Technical Details
NZBforyou has an uptime average of 98% and a response time of 1000 milliseconds. It is important to note, though, that the site has previously been down. Other technical information is not available on their website.
Summary
One downside with NZBforyou is that they do not offer APIs, which is commonly what a lot of Usenet users look for and is an edge for top NZB sites. NZBforyou’s daily allowable NZB grabs for free users are also low if compared to other indexers that also offer free use to their site. But, of course, you can upgrade your membership by donating and with that get an unlimited amount of NZB grabs, which is something that not all indexers offer. Another concern also is that the site recently lost many NZB files, which makes users think twice before donating to NZBforyou. Make sure you explore this NZB site first and compare them to other services before actually donating.
