Backdoor Access to Newzleech.com via Hidden URL

November 15, 2010 by NGR

November 17th update: Access to the site is completely down now. No response via the home page or other URL’s. It looks like Newzleech is gone for good.

Yesterday we discussed how the Newzleech.com site was down and gave readers some Newzleech alternatives. A few minutes ago we got an anonymous tip that Newzleech is accessible again via a backdoor page.

We have no idea whether or not the hidden URL is intentional or simply left over from previous testing. Either way if you would like to access Newzleech for now you can do so using this address:

http://www.newzleech.com/index2.php

Please take caution when accessing Newzleech via this link. The search engine UI and results appear to be valid but you never know since we’re still not sure why the Newzleech home page reads – Newzleech is no more.

Newzleech.com Down : Newzleech is No More

November 14, 2010 by NGR

We had a surprise this morning. One of those you wish you didn’t get. Visiting Newzleech.com displayed a short message:

Newzleech is no more 🙁

Newzleech was a popular Usenet search engine with free access to over 600 days of binaries and a simply interface for finding and downloading NZB files. While there are solid alternatives we will miss Newzleech and wish the site creators the best of luck in future endeavors. We have no idea why the site shut down but it appears sudden as no one we talked to knew anything was coming.

For those who are looking for Newzleech alternatives you might consider these sites: Binsearch, NZB.cc, NGIndex, NZBsRus and NZBIndex. For more options visit our Usenet search section and compare NZB sites.
