Not really a Mylar issue, but I'm wondering if others are seeing this.
I run Newznab at home and it has worked very well for years. These past several months though, it seems either no one is loading comic books to Usenet anymore or Newznab is broken.
I used to pull almost every comic book header using Newznab, but now the only releases I get have names like " iDdXE0hI813IIGPcOVE" and are password protected.
So now I am left asking:
Are the regexes broken? How can I manually update them?
Are folks no longer posting comics to Usenet?
Any info would be helpful. Thanks.
Is Newznab Broken?

Re: Is Newznab Broken?
Yeah, you're definitely not the only one seeing this. It’s not just Newznab—it’s more of a general Usenet trend lately. A lot of releases are now obfuscated and password-protected, and legit comic uploads seem to have slowed down a lot.
As for regexes, they might still work, but they’re not much help if the uploads are just garbage or encrypted. You can try updating the regex manually or pull some fresh ones from GitHub if you're comfortable tweaking them. But honestly, it feels like the scene has shifted away from Usenet for comics in the last year or so.
