Indexers: NZBGeek, DrunkenSlug (though this is only free tier still, NZBGeek gets me 99% of what I want). I used to have NZBFinder which was great, but not as good as NZBGeek in my experience.
Edit 2: In trying to figure out why my usenet files were getting stuck at 0.71 MB I decided to add a NewsDemon block account to the mix (with the well-hidden reddit50 code seemingly cutting the cost of any such plan in half). Don't think it made a difference, as the files ended up being repaired and extracted by NZBGet after a subsequent refresh, but hopefully the extra provider will come in useful with rarer releases, if I can find anything else.
just so things are clear were they failing because they were removed from the server? there should be an error given if that happens but since you say it had 0.71 MBs left, that does not seem likely. maybe it was nzbget causing the problem. SabNZB would probably be the better choice honestly especially if you are just getting into things now. nzbget is not maintained anymore (as of now). Seems like you ultimately fixed it by restarting nzbget anyways.
frugal is well regarded just make sure you have all their servers configured with appropriate priorities. more indexers never hurts either.
