As I recall they dont even allow binaries and those that they do if any have crap retention and completion.
Youll need a payserver most likely and I suggest NewsHosting via our referral of course...

Re: All i get is text documents
Are you saying the actual nzb file is nothing but txt or that the files that you download with the nzb are all txt? It sounds like either a retention/completion problem, or your not using the nzb properly. Or possibly a problem with your binary decoder in GrabIt.
I'm leaning towards completion/retention just because your not paying for access, typically the ones that are provided by your ISP are absolutely terrible. However, mine has 3 days worth of retention with decent completion, but they limit my speed to 100kbps. :(
Re: All i get is text documents
The completed files are always text files and are 0KB.
Im using SBC yahoo news servers so if anyone knows the retenation
Re: All i get is text documents
i'm using sbc yahoo also, and all i get is text files also.
...so..no way to fix this i guess?
dont even know what you guys are talking about..retention, 'n what not.
Re: All i get is text documents
As I mentioned thier Usenet service is useless for this as far as I know...
