The End...
It is with our regret to announce that NZBMATRIX has closed.
We have had to make this decision due to a very large takedown request from a company called Wiggin LLC. These represent the following: Federation Against Copyright Theft Limited ("FACT"), Paramount Home Entertainment International Limited; Sony Pictures Home Entertainment Limited; The Walt Disney Company Limited; Twentieth Century Fox Film Company Limited; Universal Pictures (UK) Limited; Warner Bros. Entertainment UK Limited.
As everyone is aware we are DMCA/Takedown notice compliant, and always have been.
Once this notice is completed we are left with an impossible task of policing our indexing bots. Even then it won't stop there, there will be follow-up notices etc.
Coupled with this is problems with payment providers, we have been through pretty much everyone out there, in the end they all pull out.
There are massive server/bandwidth costs to pay, with the payments in-stability this is a very hard task.
NZBMATRIX has never been the subject of any legal issues or threats.
Also the Usenet Indexing scene is going through some changes, with content being removed from pretty much every provider its making the existence of an indexer irrelevant if the content does not even exists anymore.
So it's time for us to bow out...
I paid $10 vip member fee for it. oh well, I got what it's worth...

Oh I have no problem finding what I need, but I can't just browse by what's new based on source. Newzbin was so much nicer.
Sigh.

I was just browsing there yesterday.

Yeah they do, the only two sites that seem comparable to matrix is Nzb.su and Nzbgrabit and both have closed registration. Nzbgrabit says it should open registration on the 12 so hopefully ti does. Seems like Nzb.su is not going to allow new members to join.

I am familiar with torrents (legal ones of course). I have no clue what nzb files are. No clue what nbzmatrix is.
Can someone enlighten me?
