Re: Direct Downloads vs Newsgroups
You could download them and upload them? There's a thought.
Usenet is by overall the king at content. There's plenty of old stuff out there, just use a search engine.
Have you even looked in our index?
Re: Direct Downloads vs Newsgroups
Well I probably wont upload anything until I get an actual newsprovider with SSL
yep I def checked out the index, thanks for all the stuff u posted, but I dunno I've tried quite a few search engines. . .

Some ISP's bundle Usenet with their plans. Be careful to see if it includes binaries and not just text.
Re: Direct Downloads vs Newsgroups
Usenet is far superior
Faster speeds
No ratios
What more do you want.
P.S. If your from the UK and have Virgin Media as your ISP you get free Usenet access
Only downside is that the retention is only 7 days.

Ouch, honestly it's probably worth switching ISP's or buying for the service. My ISP (not in the UK) offers a 'Premium' usage from Astraweb of which the retention is at its highest.
Previously they had the option to chose between Astraweb and Giganews :w00t:

When you do have a look at JbinUp it is a usenet uploader that supports SSL uploading straight out of the box, no other software or setups needed to achieve it.

Except Java :frusty:. I love JBinUp though it's a good cross-platform alternative to PowerPost.

For JBin? It's German, just use the English site :happy:. If I remember correctly you can also choose which language you want the app to be in?

How does SSL protect you from legal action? I doubt they wiretap you, would rather demand information from the newsprovider.
