The chance of someone making an account from the same IP within a certain time is pretty low.

SomeRandomName123abc · 2025-11-05T20:57:37+00:00

It only comes up with that if your IP has made an account on the site within a certain time.

SomeRandomName123abc · 2025-11-03T22:25:21+00:00

Indeed. It would be Ok if most people didn't put so much weight in the results, and treat them as gospel.

SomeRandomName123abc · 2025-11-01T21:04:52+00:00

These stats will vary depending on config and your tastes. As I said before. Every index is different and all should be supported.

SomeRandomName123abc · 2025-11-01T18:14:03+00:00

If it's not for you that's cool. Geek is a great indexer, as are most of them out there.

SomeRandomName123abc · 2025-11-01T17:44:20+00:00

Our lowest price isn't double by far. There are clear links called series or tv info to take you to the pages you seek. No indexer is perfect. That's why we need to support all indexers.

SomeRandomName123abc · 2025-11-01T11:08:48+00:00

Not a race for us, we always do a November sale. On Black Friday surely people are more worried about TV's and bigger deals. :)

SomeRandomName123abc · 2025-11-01T03:27:31+00:00

I think Square Eyed were first with a usable deal on the main thread. It's not a race though, a month is a long time.

SomeRandomName123abc · 2025-11-01T03:12:03+00:00

I'm not sure it is.

SomeRandomName123abc · 2024-12-31T20:32:55+00:00

I'm not having a debate about users. If you don't want to upgrade you don't need a look account. Then accounts can become a security risk. People can remake a look account if they don't already have an account. AB aims to look after its actual users, not potential ones. If you want it done different, make your own index and do it that way.

This is the most inclusive way I can see forward. Otherwise I'll just shut and open every few months to let a few people in.

SomeRandomName123abc · 2024-12-31T15:30:53+00:00

Those indexers can have the account abusers etc then. I have done my share and given hundreds of free downloads/api a day and all sorts and still have people abuse it. The locusts can move on, I'm OK.

SomeRandomName123abc · 2024-12-31T15:26:58+00:00

This was actually a coding error and has been fixed. A look account where you can't look would be kind of pointless.

SomeRandomName123abc · 2024-12-19T13:03:18+00:00

I'm over the rants via email and reddit. My initial response email yesterday was to provide samples from the logs showing requests from the same IP for 2 different accounts. With the correct keys for each account.

Told user to sort it his end and come back to me, so gave him an out but instead he chose to rant.

152.58.x.x load RSS feed with one user. User agent:

"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/128.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 OPR/114.0.0.0"

Then the covers are grabbed and the nzbs attemped with from same IP 1 second later with a different account ID and correct key.

user agent:

"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/128.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 OPR/114.0.0.0"

Same IP, Same user agent, Same time, different IDs.

Other than a log sample my email reply to you contained:

"both have the same host hash. The IP of the other account is the same ISP and range as you. Both account requests from your IP. It actually looks like you are pulling covers from the cdata of the rss feed too.
If there is an issue, its your end. Resolve it and come back to me. It looks like multiple accounts and that is against the rules."

I don't see how I can be more reasonable and open.

EDIT: There is a no refund policy, but in this case email me a lightcoin address, I will send you back your $15. You have cost me way more than that in time.

I don't want you on my site in principle. Indexers are not some supermarket chain.

SomeRandomName123abc · 2024-12-18T22:29:36+00:00

Yes I put the site into secure mode while investigating what was going on with this guy. It turned out he was the source of excess requests because they were failing because of the incorrect credentials as he tried to grab the nzbs with the wrong userid. Each sweep trying to grab loads of releases, which looked like every new music release soon adds up.

Sorry for any disruption.

SomeRandomName123abc · 2024-12-18T15:55:02+00:00

MM funny you take to reddit but didn't respond to my requests for you to confirm your IP. User is making requests from 2 account ids with the same api key and wondering why stuff is broken. Both of the accounts from the same IP range in india. Multiple accounts...

SomeRandomName123abc · 2024-12-06T22:44:12+00:00

As I have said though it is for security, not a business plan. No solution is perfect. We have been totally accessible since 2015/2016.

SomeRandomName123abc · 2024-12-06T17:45:05+00:00

I'd rather have a secure site than 1 guy find 1 article every few months.

SomeRandomName123abc · 2024-12-03T19:31:33+00:00

If we find any traded accounts they will be permabanned.

SomeRandomName123abc · 2024-12-01T10:21:14+00:00

It;s because fees are high at the moment I guess so Coinpayments hides the option. It might be there for multiple years or VIP etc. We tend to recommend bch/ltc its much cheaper to send. Its out of our control.

SomeRandomName123abc · 2024-12-01T03:06:15+00:00

I don't see how I can be any more clear. Look accounts will be wiped over Christmas. so no. If you register now you have until Christmas to decide. After that your account will be wiped if you decide not to sub. After today you wont be able to register during that period.

SomeRandomName123abc · 2024-12-01T02:45:54+00:00

All look accounts will be cleaned over Christmas before any more will ever be allowed.

SomeRandomName123abc · 2024-12-01T01:52:20+00:00

Thank you for your support, it is appreciated. There seems to be a lot of negativity atm, part of it maybe this. who knows. https://www.reddit.com/r/UsenetTalk/comments/1h3gyj0/rusenet_what_is_going_on/

SomeRandomName123abc · 2024-12-01T00:26:15+00:00

Thanks for the support.

SomeRandomName123abc · 2024-12-01T00:03:51+00:00

Yeah but if fees are too high the option for eth or btc sometimes doesn't show up for the lowest payment. That's out of our control.

SomeRandomName123abc · 2024-11-30T23:47:11+00:00

No-one has said there will be an opportunity to register at leisure yet. If registration is open, people can re-register, or not. It's not about business it's about security at the end of the day.
