Background:
IPv6 is the protocol of the future and many usenet hosts are offering their service FREE if you use IPv6.
We're simply going to download an app that converts (tunnels) your IPv4 old and busted to IPv6 new hotness.
What you need:
IPv6 tunnel:
http://www.go6.net/
Sign up and they will send you a private account with your username and password. Download the latest version of the Gateway6 client.
IPv6 compatible usenet client:
http://www.sabnzbd.org/
SABnzbd is pretty much the greatest thing since sliced bread. It's interface is completely web driven, so you can queue things on your computer from anywhere. It auto unrars / par fixes, sorts download by category and deletes unused files (for example, your rars after extracting)
IPv6 usenet server:
http://www.xsnews.com/ipv6/ipv6_aanvraag.php
xsnews offers free uncapped ipv6 access. I get ~14 mbits (about 2.3 megs / sec) on my home connection. No download limits, 10 connections.
Put in your email address and they instantly send you private account and connection information.
Guide:
1. Install Gateway6.
2 (OPTIONAL BUT RECOMMENDED). Go to control pannel -> network connections (on Vista, go to Networking, and on the left bar pick manage network connections)
You should have a new connection added, usualy will be called Local Internet Connection 2 or something similar. Rename it to IPv6 via rightclick just to keep track of it easier.
3. Start up Gateway6 and put in the Gateway 6 server info your recieved in your email. They will give you the server name too.

4. Click connect and give it a few seconds. The first connection takes some time.
Once you're connected, go to
http://ipv6.google.com/. If you can load this page, you're ready! If not, go to troubleshooting.
5. Install SABnzbd and fire it up. Go to the configuration tab and click servers. Add the free xsnews server from above. Make sure to sent number of connections to 10.
You're done!
Hit up your favorite indexing site to find the nzb for anything you like, feed the url of the nzb (or download it, if you want the extra step) to SABnzbdand you've got 2 meg / sec download speeds!
Troubleshooting
If you're on anything but Vista, sometimes you might have to enable internet connection sharing (ICS) for the network connection which provides your web connection. For example, if it's your wireless card that connections to your router, enable ICS for that wireless connection. You can google that shit its pretty easy to do. (hint: rightclick the connection, go to properties, sharing tab and checkbox everything).
Gateway6 doesn't work on Windows 7 - you need to find another IPv6 tunnel client. There are tons out there, just google it.
