sircle, when you bring up the lists in newsbin, how do you begin the dl of a specific file..?
DiRtNaP said:For Binaries (ahem "stuff") By far plunk down the 10 dollars for www.easynews.com or another. www.giganews.com and get 6 gigs of transfer, and file hold retention for 30 days. They have multiple servers then get nearly 95% of every binary post.
To cut it simply:
1. use www.nfonews.com to search for what you want
2. goto said group at www.easynews.com and que up all 130 files of a "program for research only" to say que #1 (holding pen for all 130 files)
3. click download next to que #1 (here comes a giant zip file with all 130 files in 1 .zip)
4. unzip and un rar. Enjoy
If your missing a few rars hopefully you downloaded the Par files
par, p01, p02, etc. These are parity files that rebild lost files or corrupt ones. use FSraid in thraxes link to rebuil the files you missed downloading.
Sometimes if I have a iso thats 10 rars big, but i can get at least 6 par files. usually fsraid can rebuild all 10 files out of just my downloaded 6, thus saving download time.
If your confused its not hard. Hit me up in irc.
Gon I havent heard any info on par2. any good reading on it?

I started with Agent, went to XNews, now I'm using GrabIt and it's the best program I've used for newsgroups so far so I'm sticking with it. Ever since I lost my special ftp connections about a year ago I've been using newsgroups and it's worked out well. Not exactly 0day a lot of the time, but it's pretty close.

i dunno what your news servers are, it dependz on your location. mine is news-server.kc.rr.com. theyre rather fast too, i get 230k off mine
just go get grabit (http://www.shemes.com/grabit/), find out your news server and away you go
