Thanks
I just had a check of that site. Whata terrible layout. So hard to search anything.
Has anyone else got any suggestions?

Good site and easy to navigate.
surely there must be a search site that lists say 300 searches per page. I put in alot of titles and they didn't even come up. I thought binsearch was meant to have all the major news groups? What a flop this USenet thing is.
Just change the "Results per page". :dabs:Quote:

Yes, what a flop. It's only host to literally millions of files. :wacko:Quote:

You said yourself that you're a "real novice". Why not take a moment and ask some specific questions before jumping to conclusions?
Most of the files I try and download go into error. What a real disappointment this is.
Again, some details and an actual question would help if you want answers.Quote:

Is nzbmatrix a Server? If so then is binsearch also regarded as a server?
No.Quote:

That's pretty damn good binary retention for an ISP. I think mine (and most) offer like 4 days.Quote:

If your looking for a good host, I'd suggest Giganews.
OK here is where I am really confused.
I have downloaded GrabIt and have performed a search on "allgroups" I put in the phrase 70's and up came the following list:
alt.binaries.sounds.1970's.mp3 The article count is 36613
My problem now if how do I actually access all of these articles. If I doubleclick on the above it does not do anything. If I right click it asks me to subscribe. Now what do I do.
PLease help. Also why does GrabIt look more like a server rather than a client? :)
i hate grabit it has problems with the larger groups.
I would try ike's newsleecher guide. it does a good job of explaining things.
also 40 days retention for an isp is pretty good.
For those that aren't happy with newsgroups, go use Limewire and knock your self out;)
That word should be censored in the newsgroup forum :OQuote:
