[Newsgroups] Newzbin worth the $$

Question for all you newsgroup users. In your opinion do you think newzbin is actually worth the money? I was tempted to sign up for 6 months (amazon gift card) and was wondering if it is actually worth the money or am I better off using free services??

It's worth it for me. I've been using it for over 2 years, and I'm used to its convenient features.

I won't even bother looking at other NZB sites, especially free ones, because I'm so used to Newzbin and what they offer; I would rather pay the $ to continue to use Newzbin.

I just wish there was an easier way to get money to them. Really don't feel like spending 10 bucks US( 5 min through UK AMAZON giftcard) if i don't find it useful and I kind of don't trust them with my debit card #. Anyone know of a temporary card method or if visa offers one, I have it for my discover card that generates random card numbers for one time use, but they don't take discover...

Two months worth of service on Newzbin is cheaper than a cuppa at Starbucks! It's well worth the money if you value your time.

Yea so far I like it. I find the posting/editor thing odd, I like it to see random things that might spark my interest, but does anyone know what/why something gets targeted for an editor. Seems like you see posts that are 42 days old finally getting listed by an editor and then other posts in the very same newsgroup being listed only hours after being created. Do the editors just have a free choice in what they add?

finding whatever it is im looking for. I know its going to be there and on other free sites it's not always an easy find. Just my opinion though.

I tend to disagree with many of the posts in this forum, I don't think that newzbin is worth paying for when there are great sites out there like »www.gotnzb.com that provide a similar service for absolutely free. But, that's just my opinion, and I have never been a newzbin subscriber (simply because I refuse to pay for something i can get for free elsewhere)
