newsgroups.(hum)

just start it back up and unpause it, or click connect. and it will resume.

 

when i reopen theres nothing there....it is still the Demo release..getting it next week.
(that prob why ey?

 

I've used astraweb and giganews. Both are great.

 

i wouldn't think that that would be the reason, but i guess it is a possiblility.

 

i personnaly use newsleecher with astraweb and there retention is growing by the day..i pay for unlimited downloads and i think its about £10 a month..i got a special offer i think..

 

Hey guys, any advice on search on usenet. Just started and everything is pretty hard to find. Don't know if we're not allowed to talk about this. if so then i apologize in advance. thank a million.

 

I use nzbsrus. Best site I think. But I know a lot of people also use nzbmatrix

 

i'm guessing from his question that he doesn't know what nzb's are.

if you don't know what they are... research how the entire usenet process works. nzb's are what make searching the usenet as easy as typing in *file you want to download*.

if you do know what they are... *facepalm*

 

any actual users that know what they are using use anything else similar to nzbsrus and nzbmatrix? If there is another really good one (that doesn't post all the junk) I'd be interested in learning about it.

 

http://www.bintube.com/
http://www.binsearch.info/

both are free and work great with Grabit. They are a bit less user friendly, but I like them.

 

newzbin.com has one of the best services i have ever seen. but it is not free.

 

sorry for the confusion. i use newzleech, nzbs.org, and binsearch. From what i understand doing a basic search like for a torrent or on google isn't the most efficient way for nzb's. The naming schemes for files is really hard to find what you want. i read somewhere that instead of lets say harry potter and the whaling hyena you search hpatwh. That's worked sometimes but not often. just wanted to know if any experienced Usenetters had any advice. thanks in advance.

 

Newsleecher has a tab called SuperSearch Service. Easily finds anything you want to look for. Hands down the best I have ever used for newsgroups. Use this in combination with Usenetserver and you can't go wrong.

 

thats the reason we are talking about nzb's so you dont have to search through a million lines. dont get me wrong, super search is a great service, but not nearly as good as an nzb indexing site.

 

Use easynews, built in search engine,specify size your looking for download iso no need to unpack.

 

qft!

as said in this thread a few times.... check out nzbmatrix and set it up with newsleecher and your usenet group. you'll be amazed at how easy it is once it's set up.

*nzbmatrix is a personal choice. there's a bunch out there and everybody likes their own for their personal reasons.
