Usenet-indexeringssite Newzbin2 quits. The team behind the site claims that there is too little participation is that the index does not smoothly more smoothly and that servers will be unstable, without any money for improvement. Newzbin2 arose in 2010 from the ashes of Newzbin.

The stop of Newzbin2 is, according to Team R Dogs are the result of various problems. “For a long time we have struggled with poor indexing of usenet, and reduced numbers of reports because the majority of the editors agree stopped”, is Newzbin2. “Our servers have been unstable and crashing regularly, making nzb’s and nfo’s a long time not available. We have no money to replace them.”

Newzbin2 was in August 2010, a relaunch of the popular Newzbin, that in may of that year, stopped after a lost lawsuit. Newzbin2 was however, partly due to rumors that it is a trap of the entertainment industry would never be as popular as its predecessor. Team R Dogs are in doubt on the numbers at that site were attributed. “Newzbin1 would 700.000 registered users have had, but that was the total number of members since the establishment in 2000 had signed up,” says the communication.

The team estimates that the first version of Newzbin a few tens of thousands of paying members, who incidentally have enough money in the coffers brought would have for the administrators of the time. “We don’t have more than 40.000 users, and the number of paid users is in the several thousands”, is the assertion.

Furthermore, the team that there is no more money comes in because his payment Kthxbai is under fire from the film industry and his other payment provider now, out of fear of his service has stopped. Newzbin2 calls the end of the site ‘tragic’, because it has all the ‘notice and takedown’requests from rights holders would have accepted, as are advertisers and betalingsdienstverleners would have required.
