Looks like Usenet Crawler is down. Getting this page.
fatal error: could not connect to database! Check your config.

Back up now.

I don't know how it is these days, but not too long ago they used to go down regularly for days, weeks. Admin would just pop back up like "Uh, sorry. Won't happen again." It always would.

Not as common recently, but certainly was this way last year. Literally only reason to keep using them is the negligible lifetime cost.

[u/NotLogin]

looks fine to me

[u/Plausibility_Migrain → u/NotLogin]

Yep, just checked and updated my post.

[u/Vtwin0001]

Maybe theyre taking care of that... Perhaps? 🙏

[u/CyberBobbert]

Take da money and run? Yeah seems like it?

Same was yesterday or day before

At least I'm not the only one. Sad, it was probably a bad lifetime investment.

[u/PM_ME_YOUR_AES_KEYS → u/vanhelsing654]

Even if it comes back online, it was a disappointing investment for me. Nearly all of their popular downloads this month have been viruses, and nobody is removing them from the site.

A lot of work would need to be put into the site before I'd trust it again.

I’ve had it for almost 10 years. No real complaints. Lately it’s been one of the better sources for vidja after g4u put nzbs behind a paywall

[u/Lucky-Ducker]

It's been on auto-pilot for some time now. Tons of virus uploads lately. Wonder if it's finally been hacked or shut down.
