Don't shoot teh n00b - questions about newsgroups

/me apologises if the questions asked below are too noobish or have been asked before, but i've searched and i really haven't found an answer to my questions


Recently a friend of mine bought a giganews account and i went over his place to try it out.We entered the alt.movies.xvid (or something like this, anyway the biggest group with xvids) group in search for some new xvid movies and we found old movies and mostly asian stuff. we searched for some new movies that we saw on torrents and we didn't found them

my obviously noobish question is how can one find 0day movies or music on these newsgroups...

i searched for 0day groups but only found some with a few articles

i tried sorting the articles by age but that didn't work either

i would really like an answer because i convinced him to buy a platinum account and he was kinda dissapointed after not founding what he was after(new movies and stuff)

pls stay ontopic

You could try using newzbin, binage, peerhub, binsearch or many others to search first there, getting vital info like the group, age, real file name, etc. Then you could find it yourself or use a provided nzb.
Oday is definately out there, you just have to know where to look.

EDIT lemme add somthing.
when i first got newsgroup access I subscribed to a group called somthing like a.b.dvdrtvshows
thinking it held all my fav tv shows on dvd.
Turned out to have very little stuff, nothing that i wanted.
But i found a shit load of tv shows on dvdr in a.b.the-terminal.
Basically what i am trying to say is just because ia group is named somthing like a.b.movies.xvid doesn't mean that every xvid on usenet is in that group.

thx for your help :thumbsup:

use nzb files if you're not comfortable with finding artiles in raw format.

there's a good selection on this very site

There are plenty of NZB sites... and NZB is the way to go...
