A Beginner's Guide to Newsgroups and Usenet

[MultiForce]

I don't care about the "not paying"-thing as I want quality

I pay $24.99 a month.
When I always have max speed down and things are uploaded very fast to usenet I don't mind paying.

The best and most reliable are NewsHosting and GigaNews which we are affiliates for both...

How much do you pay a month?
I couldn't help but notice on the top right corner of this website
"Never pay for File Sharing!"

Never pay for file sharing should be never pay for p2p.

Honestly I think the whole idea of file sharing is so we can get stuff for free. I would never pay for music- movies- applications- etc. period.

[sinjix_media]

Giganews as provider and NewsbinPro as client.

Newshosting is cheaper and are also good (haven't used them myself)

[edit]nevermind
im gonna do the giganews 3 day trial thing.

[MultiForce]

yup

[sinjix_media]

so all together how much do u pay?
Giganews in itself is 24 dollars a month

NewsbinPro was $35 and that includes free updates fr the rest of it's lifetime.

Once I've signed up for Giganews, installed Newsbin Pro and run the program what do i do first?

• Add newsgroups? If so, how do I do this?
• Should I do a search for newsgroups that carry the kind of files I want? (Why isn't this automatic?)
• If so, once I find the newsgroups how do i add them and start downloading?

After installingNewsbin Pro you setup the server address (from mail from Giganews).
You might right click Unsorted in the "Groups:" tab and select add group to add a group. Then you right click the group and select download headers.
Just find groups like alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.techno for techno music etc. Some groups have all sorts of content.
You might just grab a NZB file from this forum and load in in Newsbin.

You can also search with search engines like www.binsearch.info, www.lewzleech.com etc.
