Why is everyone talking about grabit?

Use a free, nagware free news reader like pan or binary news reaper if you want to use usenet.

I also recommend donating to nzbmatrix for the extra features that you get. Its a great site, much like a torrent site, with ratings, proper pruning of fakes, comments, and a large vault of nzbs.

@ 57 & 59

The BT newsgroup service is outsourced and provided by giganews. I believe it has a speed cap and a monthly data cap too.

What can they do to newzbin that they havnt tried to do with mininova? I mean honestly how fucking retarded are these people.

I use usenet all the time for downloading because for 7.50EUR a month i can have unlimited downloads at my maximum line speed with 256-bit SSL encryption.

Besides there are litterally hundreds of usenet indexers now and most of them are increasing capacity to 365days to follow giganews added retention.

If you want an easy usenet client just use Alt.binz 1 click download and extract to whatever folder you choose, without downloading tons of headers.

Ever wonder how the MPA always goes searching for a skapegoat, like, they think there’s some kind of mafia pirate godfather they have to arrest and all the piracy in this world would stop forever lol…but they can’t arrest people for giving away shit. Make a movie that is fucking touching,memorable and inspiring and I will go to a cinema and pay my respects loyally,give me a shitty movie and I will rape it,and throw it away like a the crack whore it is

Sheesh, if they could stop all this torrents and biz they could really raise their prices. Look, Itunes already raised theirs. Once they stop this, they will raise prices thru the roof.

@60 That wasn’t a question? it must have been a snide complaint then.

Feel free to correct my description of the process Newzbin uses to make NZBs if you feel you know more about the subject.

Also, I fail to see what relevance your tenure of usenet has on an article about Newzbin, especially as to how far it extends prior to the creation of NZBs. Surely your wonderous knowledge of NZBs can only have come about *since* Caesium invented them in 2003?

@54 – I didn’t have a question, and if you’d read it the way I wrote it, you’d have realized that I’ve been on Usenet since AOL came on a floppy, which predates the creation of nzb’s.

@ 57

You use your own ISP’s usenet server to download copyrighted material? The same ISP who knows your address? Are you mad? Its child’s play for them to see what you’re downloading, and they know exactly where to direct the police should the notion take them.

On top of it all, its BT who don’t exactly have a good track record for not shafting its customers.

There’s a reason why I pay for newsgroup access from a provider who offers SSL connections and does not keep any logs. The price they ask monthly is a small amount to pay for peace of mind coupled with speeds that max out my connection.
