What is the NTL Usnet Adress?

[RealitY]

I'm using news.ntlworld.com - will news.cable.ntlworld.com have any different stuff on there?

Does anyone know whether it's better or worse?

Thanks.

Most likely little difference although although on some companys that have more than one server you can connect to both at the same time and get better speeds. There may also be slight differences like complettion or retention...

I take it Retention is how long the file parts stay online? Any idea how long they stay on NTL?

Seems to be about 7-8days on Alt.binaries.movies.divx thru NTL

hey

yeah i used ntls newsgroups once to download divx movies and mp3s

is it safe?

will they find out and ban me?

btw its great max speeds and no need for a payed usenet service

all u need is the nzb file!

Although access records are kept, they'll see what you do only if they look at your individual records. There's no reason to think that just because you're downloading from usenet, they'll single you out amongst hundreds of thousands of other users.

so they wouldnt really do much to me as an individual?

or will they take action on me as well as everyone eles
