Hello all! New to the world of usenet. I’ve got a couple of providers on different backbones but am having very hit-or-miss success with my needs. With the private or invite-only indexers like DS and NC, how frequently do they open/when was the last time they were? Would love to add them to my arsenal at some point ☺️ Also, are they redundant or do they compliment each other well? For context using Geek.
