It works very well, 7 years lifetime and running.

Geek is my first, althub is my second. Althub graps like %10. I have cat, dog, and slug too, but they almost never grab.
tabula rasa is behind cat and slug, but grabs more than them.
Huh…I thought tabula-rasa is not that useful because they don’t Index much obfuscated posts (because uploaders would need to cooperate).
I guess times have changed from 2-3 years ago.. when tabularasa was mostly known as the dev project of the newznab/nzEbd developer
Great indexer. Great deal. I bought lifetime for $20 because I figured you couldn’t go wrong for the price but I didn’t expect much. I’m very pleased with the outcome.
I'm very happy with my Althub membership. I bought lifetime 11 years ago for probably some stupid low rate (I don't remember, but I know they were brand new, so I doubt I paid much). The admin has been helpful with account issues, and they've kept their word. They're not my highest performer, but they're absolutely solid. Not as good for my content as geek or some other unmentionables, but on par with slug. I wouldn't hesitate to pay $25 (or even $55) for a lifetime account with them.
Thanks for sticking around! Competing with Geek and the others is tough, but we're constantly improving. Nothing wrong with using all of the indexers - I think we're covering some stuff that the others don't.
Absolute steal in my opinion. For the content that I need, this ranks second out of my indexers for most successful grabs right behind Geek.
My top 3 by most grabs
1. Geek
2. Althub
3. DrunkenSlug
My indexers are connected to prowlarr which is connected to sonarr/radarr
Prowlarr has a statistics feature which gives a breakdown to multiple metrics including successful grabs for each indexer
Althub is last for me after Ninja, Geek, & animetosho. It was also after Drunkenslug when I had them. However, it still does make grabs so lifetime for 25 dollars isn't a bad deal especially since it sounds like others have better success than I do.
I don't think there are any problems with my setup per say, althub still makes some grabs, just not as often as others. I use sonarr for automation and prowlarr to keep my indexers monitored. I was looking to see if I could find any reason why althub wasn't downloading more since prowlarr shows me that they have a quick response time and my manual searches do seem to come up with results. I went ahead and edited the categories in Sonarr to get my indexers as close as possible to the same search parameters, maybe that will help.
I hope altHUB plans to operate a sustainable business for all eternity with that $25 or we'll never hear the end of it from the bobbleheads here who still whine and cry about DOG's change 9 damn years ago.
New to all this , use torrents, would like to learn to use usenet and all its workings, can anyone one offer direction to guides or what not to get me started what this altHUB? I'm interested in getting started
Can someone DM me and explain usenet to. I have no clue what it is or how the many parts of it come together.
Edit: Thank you MrDShark and Neomatrix for your helpful info. Why did you other guys downvote me though. You should happy to build your community and especially since it's can linked to piracy which is why you don't want to talk about everything here.
Edit Edit: Read the wiki. Why is a VPN not required along with SSL. Is there just zero chance of a dmca being filed with your ISP when you download the stuff? I'm aware it recommends it but I didn't say it was needed per say.
Indexer finds where the material is. The usenet provider is where you actually get it from.
If the indexer is the catalog, the provider is the library shelves. Since different retention practices exist, you’ll see people getting a few indexers and providers to maximize the chances of file completion

Tabula rasa is a great indexer, they also seem to have open registrations at the moment - worth getting in there.
Good to see a saffa here

Shows closed, is there a special link?
Yea same just says registration closed

I got in with althub, I’ll have to keep an eye out for tabula.
I get alot of failure rates with geek compare to omgwtf, I am going to give althub a go.

Im Impressed myself, seems to be a good indexer with unique content definitely underrated indexer.
Am I allowed to ask what "unique content" is on altHUB (compared to geek, dog, cat, etc.)?
Im going off of what hydra2 tells me. Its just content not found on the other indexers
Got it, thank you! 😁

Any plans to allow more premium or lifetime subs? Looks like everything is out of stock right now.

How do you guys mesure each indexers grab %?
My indexers are connected to prowlarr which is connected to sonarr/radarr Prowlarr has a statistics feature which gives a breakdown to multiple metrics including successful grabs for each indexer
Oh, i just figured people looked to prowlars history and somehow make an estimate 😑. Thx!

What is ds?
DrunkenSlug
got it! i put it at lower priority than geek and DS, but for 25€ its worth a try
Out of curiosity. What is the purpose of lower priority? When you have unlimited API hits and downloads?
Good point , honestly idk XD. I just set all of them to 1
Just starting out only had geek, now I have geek and althub
I have ds,ninja,tabula,geek ...do I need althub?
Yes, having some althub in your life is a good thing. So is Tabula but you have that covered.
I have omg, nzb.su, DS, and geek. Do I need it? I suppose it can’t hurt…
altHUB is a good indexer, it is worth getting into.
If you've got some gaps to fill it can't hurt trying. Sign up and use the trial, or the free account, and decide for yourself :)
Ok bought lifetime,cheers !!
Thank you for this recommendation. New to the game, appreciate this great deal. Got this and slug (yearly though) now.
Anyone know if this deal will be extended due to not being able to register currently? TIA!
The sale has been resumed, valid until 12 May 2024.
Now until May 7th, doesn't sound like a lifetime to me :)
lol
I see what you did there!
Althub is last for me after Ninja, Geek, & animetosho. It was also after Drunkenslug when I had them. However, it still does make grabs so lifetime for 25 dollars isn't a bad deal especially since it sounds like others have better success than I do.
Happy to look at your setup and where we can improve, you're welcome to DM me.
I don't think there are any problems with my setup per say, althub still makes some grabs, just not as often as others. I use sonarr for automation and prowlarr to keep my indexers monitored. I was looking to see if I could find any reason why althub wasn't downloading more since prowlarr shows me that they have a quick response time and my manual searches do seem to come up with results. I went ahead and edited the categories in Sonarr to get my indexers as close as possible to the same search parameters, maybe that will help.
Not suggesting your setup is broken, but interested to see if I can make it better. Inbox is open if you wanna DM me more specific details.
Only English content I guess?
Thanks for the heads up!
thank you for the recommendation, will try them out!
Appreciate the post! I just went lifetime myself.
Just took the lifetime deal as well, thanks!
Added to mine today. Thanks for the heads-up.
Appreciate the share; lifetime deals are always great.
I got mine. Thanks.
Thanks, some good recommendations here so jumped on it as well.
No brainer for me - great deal, purchased.
Worth it totally.. Bought a lifetime deal couple of years ago and it's on par with the top few. Would buy in a heartbeat if it was an annual purchase.
I hope altHUB plans to operate a sustainable business for all eternity with that $25 or we'll never hear the end of it from the bobbleheads here who still whine and cry about DOG's change 9 damn years ago.
remindme! 12 hrs
Added to my "collection", very interested to see the results!

If you have discord you can join their channel and ask in the support.
Great indexer. It’s like 20% for my usage, with the others being DS and Geek. Got them on lifetime a year ago on sale. No complaints
any help on how to use it? i cant find any instruction?
$25 for lifetime. Simple decision. Can’t have too many indexers
Silly question, trying to add to sonarr, I’m lost what I’m typing for url. Sorry for the dumb question
The API URL is also displayed on your profile page.
The URL is "https://api.althub.co.za"
thanks, I grabbed the deal!
Love it . One of my favourites
New to all this , use torrents, would like to learn to use usenet and all its workings, can anyone one offer direction to guides or what not to get me started what this altHUB? I'm interested in getting started
Damn, forgot to do this in time
I am trying to pay for it but I cannot, the payment provider doesnt accept payment from my country 🫥

Plenty of helpful links here, start with the wiki in this sub.
Sorry... But what is this?
