| Free tier | Reported as 5 NZB downloads and 25 API hits per day on the free 'Water' tier; Lager EUR 5/year gives 25 downloads and 250 API calls a day, Ale EUR 10/year 100 and 1,000, Wine EUR 20/year 200 and 2,000. The vendor's caps declares <limits max="100" default="100"/> and <registration available="yes" open="no"/>. unit requests; metered on request-count; Free API allowance is disputed: usenetreviews.org and bestnzbsites say 100 hits/day, a 2023 registration thread says 25, and usenet.com says 'a small number'. The conservative 25 is kept. |
|---|---|
| Price | none stated |
| Per-object cap | not applicable: an NZB pointer file |
| Retention | not stated by the vendor on any page reachable today; a third-party listing claims '3000+ days for binary'. |
| Egress | No byte metering; the API returns pointers. |
| Identity | email Invite only. The register page says 'Sorry! The Bar is closed. Please don't contact us asking for invites.' caps agrees: <registration available="yes" open="no"/>. |
| Limits |
The hard gate is registration, not the counter: nobody without an invite reaches the counter. |
| Binding | write-gated The invite gate is what fails first, before any quota is reached: a client with no account cannot spend the 5 grabs at all. If an account existed, the daily counter would bind instead. |
| Interface | rest Newznab API at /api; caps answers anonymously with 100 results per request. The HTML site is behind Cloudflare and returns 403 to this broker's egress on every path tried (/, /register, /plans, /faq, /help, /support, /donate, /subscribe, /store), while /api answers normally. |
| Tooling | Native Newznab: Prowlarr, NZBHydra2, Sonarr and Radarr add it with URL plus key once an account exists. |
| Composes with | A depth index for older and rarer material behind a 5-grab-a-day free cap; it complements a broad index rather than replacing one. |
| Reliability | Registration opens for short windows and closes again, so an account is an asset that cannot be recreated on demand if lost. |
| Notes | The /api path answering while every HTML path is challenged is itself the useful finding: an indexer the browser cannot open still exposes caps, so registration state and result limits are readable without an account. |
| Evidence rung | documented Registration closure is documented from the vendor's own register page and caps. The free allowance is third-party, and the record's verdict does not depend on it. |
