Doesn't exist.

ALL usenet providers follow DMCA takedown requests, no matter what some idiots might tell you or you might read.

Damn shame about NZBMatrix, been using them for 4-5 years now, but not so much these days as I normally just do a direct search with nfo filename etc.

I use AstraWeb, and I have not seen anything that would make me thinks USENET is going away anytime soon. NZB indexing was for the lazy, LOL. binsearch FTW

You've just got lucky with the type of stuff you're after.

Try Sony 1st party stuff it's nearly all taken down within a few weeks.

For example, try and find Metal Gear Solid 4 (not the new 25th anniversary version).

"MGS4-MOVE"

You will not find that release on ANY provider, I promise you. I've tried about 15 provider trials all at the same time as backup block servers and that release isn't on any of them (not a bad upload, it's from numerous different uploads).

Not possible, sure you'll find it but it's basically zeroed out.

I've noticed that Sony 1st party releases are actually wiped completely, so you won't just have a percentage of bad blocks, but the whole think has gone.

I use Astraweb too because it's cheap if you find a special offer code and combine it with a 1 year subscription to the top service they do.

But they are pretty bad with completion these days, and again they have takedowns galore. In fact they are one of the worst for takedowns because they have the process automated and each takedown isn't actually looked at by a human being.

But to be honest, they're all as bad as each other in terms of completion and takedowns more or less. It just so happens that some providers respond faster than others. But they ALL respond.

The reason that there is no provider that doesn't do DMCA takedowns is because if they didn't do them, they couldn't operate in the US which is obviously a massive market.

Same here, you should give a place called nzbcave or hdaddicts a go if you download a lot of bluray stuff. They ask for £10-ish for a year, but they do remux releases so you get an uncompressed movie only with HD audio intact and don't need to download 40GB+

im also gutted used nzbmatrix for years and now im screwed big time anyone now of another site like it
