Newsgroups guide for GrabIt

Hey guys
This is my first time trying to use this technology and im completing lost. i read the guide/tutorial that was provided (thanks for that). I understand what it is trying to do but what im having a problem with is that it cannot connect to the newsgroup. My ISP is TPG in Australia, i checked that it supported this technology and it did. I believe that i followed the steps but i am still getting the following message..... :cry:

"Unable to connect to news. tpg.com.au:119"
:blink:
Has this happend to anyone else because i really need some support. Please guys help me out, any and all info/support would be great

For user name and password, are you using your own ISP user name / password?

For example, if your account name (to log on) is nikola456 and password is 12fd136svh then input those. If your unique user name and password don't work, ring your ISP and ask them what you need to access newsgroups. They may have a seperate account for those wishing to use them.

Thanks alot for this Guide! Much Appreciated! :-)

Try calling and asking them although they may not have Usenet access as not all do...

wow, thanks.. this was really helpful.

I tried to download some file with NZB but when the downloading was complete I saw that the files where *.txt and every file 0kb.
What's wrong?

The server your using docesent have enough retention to get the files your trying to grab so theyre not there anymore. If your using your ISP service then its most likely that they have low retention. Make sure your not grabbing something that is to old for your service. If you still have this issue with files that are recent then you may have to look into a payserver to access Usenet service.
