Dooohhh Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Hey brothers (sisters?),yesterday i invested in access to usenet, since i heard rumors that usenet is where it all happens. AND, i was quite disappointed until i found the site NZBMatrix, so i bought an account for their site (more money used (perfect, i have a lot of money since I'm a student (yes i was sarcastic))). I found out that their site is not really that great. So i continued to google around, and as far as i understand is the site to use called Newsbin. Of course it's "invites only" :frusty:. Now does anyone of you have a spare invite please?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irefay Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I use two free sites: http://newzleech.com/ and http://www.binsearch.info/ They are great indexers. My Usenet service comes from Astraweb. http://www.astraweb.com/ They are very inexpensive. I used to use Newsbin but lost my account when I didnt sign in for a few months (looking for bombs instead sorry about that :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dooohhh Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 I use Astraweb too. I have been looking at both of the sites that you mention, but on none of them seems really obvious which files are complete and which are not. Lets pretend I'm looking for some Rex The Dog-music.. i go to newzleech and search (link), i get some results. But i cant figure out what nzb's contain the whole release and isn't there a lot of "fake" files? It's much more obvious what to download using nzbmatix, they just have a very small catalog i think (not what i expected from usenet at least).But hey, thanks for the tip. Btw are you using their special offer? It's even cheaper: http://www.news.astraweb.com/specials/kleverig-11.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dooohhh Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 I think Scorpion had made a tutorial a wile ago... mater of searching through topics I say....well, normally i would agree, and i use to be very fast to figure out new technologies, but this time i don't feel i really get it. I've already read a LOT of guides which all says "Usenet is not like everything else, but follow this guide and you will mAAAster usenet"; but I'm still kind of lost. It feels like I just miss a small brick to complete the puzzle. And my question is kind of "is newsbin the missing brick" that will make me feel that usenet i pure awesomeness? :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
