ok, so i have an acct on giganews, and i just purchased newsbin
i searched newzleech for the .nzb's I want, now what? can someone give me a retard proof walkthru from here? I think I came a decent way on my own, but I sure could use some advice on how to use newsbin and everything else. :whistling
THanks,

Have you downloaded a client yet?
If not, download Grabit. There is a tutorial here - http://filesharingtalk.com/vb3/f-new...e-grabit-69159
Let us know if you have any troubles. :)
Since you already bought Newsbin you can forget about Grabit. Grabit is nice but I think Newsbin is more "proffesional" :PQuote:

There's a bunch of info here on setup etc.
Read that as "Newzbin" account. :pinch:
cool, thanks guys, im gonna give it a shot when i get home, do u have to open up any ports on a router or something?
i isntalled it quick here at work :unsure: and i opened the nzb files and it says pending (for about 2 hours now)
how long does it usually take to download, etc
thanks for the help!

Normally you don't have to open any ports but when you say "at work" you might get some trouble as everything not related to business is most likely blocked.Quote:

Edit: I think it says pending cause it might be paused (it's waiting for a connection to a server) but I don't remember. Long time ago since I used Newsbin.
The one and only guy who got an invite :PQuote:

k 2 more questions
is there a way to "subscribe" to a group so im notified evrerytime something new is uploaded?
also, is there a way to "request" stuff
You can set up newsbin to download new posts periodically but I don't think you can get it to check the news server for new posts and then download them auto.Quote:

Here's some lists of request and fills (and some more info):

awesome, thanks for all your help
one tinyyy last question, when I am looking through headers I sometimes see responses to posts, or something like that, how can I read them?
It doesnt let me download them for some reason -- they are usually under 10kb
i double click it and it goes straight to failed files :unsure:
If you just want to read it without downloading you can right click the post and select read post body or whatever it is called.Quote:
