hi all

thought some of you mite want to try this 7 day free usenet account so u can see how much fun can be had from usenet

go to http://member.hitnews.eu/signup.php?lang=en
select offline payment for the payment type (not sure why they put this on the free trial lol)
fill in a load of random stuff but use a real email address cus u will need to confirm it and they will also email u with ur login details
enjoy 7 days of phat usenet

i tested this yesterday and it maxxed out my 20mbit connection with ease

also i'm pretty sure u can probably sign up again after the 7 days with a different email address so technically u can have free usenet till they stop the trial

Doesn't work for me

I got my username and password but when I try to load an NZB or refresh the news.hitnews.eu grouplist in GrabIt I get 'Access denied to your node'.

Oh well, at least I didn't lose any money on it.


Edit: I should note that I have tried both port 80 and 119.

Edit 2: I signed up for another account, and success! It must have been something about my previous user/pass combination. Thanks djgarf, nice find.

You need a newsreader like alt.binz or NewsLeecher and you need to use a searcher like NewzLeech to grab some NZB files. The process goes like this:

1) Download and install newsreader
2) Add server to newsreader
3) Search for file you want in searcher
4) Grab NZB file for file you searched for
5) Load NZB file into newsreader
6) Wait for download to complete!

You also need a nzb index site. I recommend NewzLeech. Just search away, get a nzb, and start downloading!

try actually connecting to a newsgroup. You might need to make it grab a list first.
