NZBIndex.com Review

Last Updated: Feb 26, 2021

NZBIndex.com offers a free service that helps users search for files they need on Usenet. The website does not require any invites or any fees for upgrading membership.

NZBIndex.com is far from a perfect Usenet search engine. But being an all-access, free-to-use site makes NZBIndex.com a convenient option for users. This indexer is able to function without fees or donations because it is advertiser supported. The site is very reliable and is hardly down and comes up with search results quickly.

Features

Probably the best key feature of this Usenet search engine is its fast generation of search results. Once you get the results you need, you simply select the file you want to download. Some features that are good to note is that you can do multiple downloads by selecting multiple files from your results. You can also select a file that you would want to takedown or report as spam to help remove unwanted or irrelevant search results that have come up. RSS feed is also available, and their groups page shows the binary retention of each indexed newsgroup.

Pricing & Payment Methods

NZBIndex.com does not charge any fees and they rely on advertiser support to continue running their site.

Retention

The service has a retention of 1900 days for most newsgroups, but this varies for each individual group. Based on our most recent check, NZBIndex.com allows you to search through over 900 groups.

Interface

NZBIndex.com has a custom interface that differs from other NZB sites. Their website features a few main links you can click like language options, search, groups and FAQs. The homepage mainly presents a search box where you can type in the file you are looking for and this generates the results. There are no categories or subcategories present.

Technical Details

As mentioned, NZBIndex.com rarely is down and they have an average uptime of 99% and a response time of 570 milliseconds. While there are no other technical details available with this NZB site, please remember that they function differently if you compare them to a newznab based indexing service. This means that NZBIndex.com lacks proper integrations and APIs with other services or applications.

Summary

NZBIndex.com is a great Usenet search engine, but it has some flaws when compared to other NZB sites. The lack of API integrations with other applications would pose a hassle for some Usenet users. But putting that aside, NZBIndex.com is still a decent option for searching files on Usenet. It would be a great alternative for new Usenet users or for those who do not download on Usenet heavily.
