[djgarf]

hardly anyone downloads headers these days lol

 

[jalaneme]

awesome gonna sign up now lol thank goodness you don't have to give them your credit card because usually you have to for their "free" trial.

edit: rubs hands together *evil laugh* while updating the alt.bin wii section...

How do you add a server in NewsLeecher?

Edit: Nevermind. 2 secs after i posted this i decided to try again. And I found it. Sorry

As djgarf headers are not really worth it, the following should get you started:

http://www.newzleech.com/ (I have not played so much with this but it has some nice features).

it dosn't seem so, i get max speeds from my ntl server aswell as the usenet server, it's all good

 

[Opium]

Sweet, thanks a lot for the heads up garf

I just signed up and got it downloading.

My first newsground download

100+ days of retention definitely isn't true... I've tried downloads that are about 70-75 days old and get "article not found"

 

[Dirtie]

Word of warning: seems the retention is only actually around 20 days (on the groups I've downloaded headers for anyway).

Or, maybe this provider only started up 20 days ago or something

Well shit! :'(

I know it's not exactly old, but I have something 25 days old downloading at the moment. From what I've seen it seems retention is less than 30 days, but you can hardly complain for a free service.

 

[TaMs]

great trying this now, shame that i don't have anything to download atm.

Most ISPs offer free newsgroup access too. For the access verizon offers, retention is 10 days, but speeds/bandwidth isn't capped. Well, it great for new scene releases anyways.

You can find a list of IPSs that offer usenet access too. But this 7 day trial is great too.

TaMs, and everyone else: abgx.net is another great nbz site. Well actually, you have to get the nzb files off of their irc chan, so knowing a little bit about irc is a good thing. Or just paste the -send_blahblah into the chan.

my isp has crappy news group, so this is a chance now to take advantage of this free trial.

 

[phoood]

Yeah, most are crappy. But some of the usenet access offered by some ISPs are exceptional and the customers don't even know about it.

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!

- Sam

1) Installed Grabit
2) Added hitnews server
3) Searched Newzleech.com, found what I was looking for, downloaded the NZB
4) Ran Grabit and imported the NZB
5) Downloading now

THANK YOOOOOOOOO!!!!
