    So far newsgroups are giving me a headache.

    I try using NZB for "Interpol - Evil" and grabit doesn't work. MY DL speed displays an outrageously high number and nothing is downloaded. This happens with every other NZB i've tried to use so far as well.

    I use the search function instead, and i see what i need, but when i grab the file, it says "article not found". Bull shit! I just clicked on the fucking thing! How could it not exist?

    PS: People can get into the nzbzone site without registering, just go to bugmenot.com

    The search function in GrabIt is based on its own server which if I recall has a 30 day retention so it will show all articles available in the last 30 days. This has nothing to do with the actual server your using as most ISP only have a 3 to 5 day retention.

    I would suggest making a search and then sorting by date and then try to grab a recent article and see what happens. If you still get not found then its possible your ISP dosent even support binaries which means you cant get them at all or they dont have the group your trying to access available.

    The fact is ISP service is touchy and even those that have decent access have low retention although you just have to test out a series of different things to find out. Ultimatly though a server like NewsHosting which we have a referral banner up above is the the best way to go...

    That's probably it. The file was posted on July 26 and today is Aug 6, too much for the isp. I might just try one of those pay things, just use my poker account to fund it

    By the way, if anyone here has cox, the retention for binaries is 6 days

    Hello. I'm new to GrabIt and I've tried downloading some rar files. Unfortunately, when I notice that they've downloaded as .txt files with the same size. I tried renaming them to .rar files but they still won't open. I assume it didn't really process though it said it did. Can anyone tell me how I get the .rar files? Thanks.

    Each text file is about 47mb. I looked more into the problem and it said Grabit probably couldn't decode the message. I've tried several programs that might've been able to, but no real luck.

    I suggest a full uninstall and a reinstall...
