should I pay for NewsLeecher and Newzbin?

I think that subscribing to Newzbin.com website access might be well worth the money, since the site offers a lot of features, but paying for Newsleecher's "supersearch" is probably in my opinion a big waste of money because you can get the same thing (and better) for free.

If you use the free binary grabber software Alt.Binz , it has SEVEN search engines built-in, including Newsleecher's "supersearch". And the best thing is that it is totally free.

www.altbinz.com

My own preference is to use the free version of V3.Newzbin.com to look up titles, combined with free search sites like Newzleech.com and Binsearch.info to download the NZB file.
 
new to this but paid for newsleacher and giganews dont regret it in the slightest, supersearch and newsleecher is the secondbest searcher and usenet client i have seen (the first going to usenext that download wizard of theres is perfaction shame there service is limited and expensive)

Well, you may beg to differ, but I beg to differ even more! What are you talking about indexing files? All the usenet search sites index the contents of the usenet. All Newzbinz does is pretty up the titles and puts them in categories. Yeah, that's really worth $3.19 per month or however much it costs :rolleyes:

Mabye to YOU it is not worth it, but the free sites suck in my opinion. They simply do not put the files in neatly organized catagories like newzbin does.

If you want to go ahead and search through headers or sites you have to create your own NZB files because you don't want to pay three bucks a month, fine with me. I could care less!
 
Slightly OT but I like Beta.binaries.NL and have the search plugin in mozilla firefox so it is real easy to search. I do find the site often has server problems however so I am more into Binsearch for reliability.

I used to pay for Grabit search which was quite good and newzbin site for NZB but then I found this site and to be honest I would not pay for search anymore. Free is good with me.

My NSP has a search site but strangely it can be a little slow for something that technically I have paid for.

Why don't you try searching for it on free sites like binsearch? That should give you some idea.

Though frankly, expecting newsgroups to carry everything torrents have and vice-versa is unfair.

Both do carry a wide variety of stuff,just not all the same! If you are using torrents to get what you need and it is rare, you'd better stick with that.
