NZBMatrix Closes Their Website

An anonymous reader writes "Hot on the heels of the closure of Newzbin2, this morning the usenet NZB indexing website NZBMatrix closed shop in the face of another DMCA notice. NZBMatrix allowed users to sift through messy usenet groups and quickly find data for download. NZBMatrix's API allowed automated polling from various clients, making it one of the more popular NZB sites. This is one of the last public NZB indexing sites, leaving mostly invite-only underground sites. A sad day for usenet users everywhere."

NZBMatrix had a great community, like Demonoid by BenJeremy · 2012-12-09 03:09 · Score: 5, Insightful

You could always rely on a decent number of comments for popular releases to filter a good download form a bad one.
Sad to see this one go, as I had relied on it more and more well before Newzbin closed its doors.

How is this moderated up so high. No provider was forced to shudder their doors because of the huge size of the binaries groups. Just dont carry the group. Usenet discussion died because of spam and web forums.
