hey, great guide! was wondering could some one please explain why when im doing a full update on one of the movie channels my download speed will go from 50kbps to 0 and stay like that for about 10 seconds, then jump up to 30-50 for a few seconds then go back down again :blink:
My speed fluctuates all the time :unsure:Quote:

Experimental build of GrabIt 1.5.0
With this buils you dont need to download/update groups !!! just use the search function.

I was considering checking if there was an update while editing links in the guide last night and Ill say this is a great new feature. I have noticed that dling from the GrabIt Search window is a bit different, I have to select the files I want either singly or with shift plus scroll and then right click on them and select the server as in Default Server, seems double clicking or using the Grab button at the top does not start the dl from this window although still a great feature and a big time saver as well. It would also be nice if the colum width was user set and did not reset on every seach...
NTL only lets me have 3 however no matter how many you have open you still get your files the same speed. As if your downloading 3 a one time they will be getting your download speed split into 3.Quote:

They are limited individually which is why I think you want to have the max number running...
i can't even get any of them to connect.. all i get is communication error or unable to connect to server name...... :unsure: why is this happening?

Anyone know any good pay providers in the UK?
This wont work for me. I tried both addresses for my ISP, and it still said "cannot connect.."
Thanks everyone.

And NTL is lacking some Console and DVDR groups. I manage to get a 700mb file in 1 hour 3 mins aprox and can do about 16gb a day on newsgroups.Quote:

I just want to say great guide :D helped me a lot on my downloads and was wondering if any1 could help me with something. The only free newsgroup server i have found is YottaNews that isnt with my isp. I'm not using my isp because the downloads are too slow and the groups arent fully updated.
I was wondering if anybody knew of any other free newsgroup servers other than YottaNews. Thank You in advance
Here's my problem, I'm on a small, independent ISP, (RTC Communications), and I don't know if they support this? How can I find out? (Other than calling them up and asking them.)
How about sending them an e-mail and ask them?
Or search for it on their website.
Ok, I figured most of this out thanks to the guide, but did I do it right? Does my ISP support this? I took a screen shot to show.
