Hey,
Just purchased access from Astraweb, the price is cheap enough for me to consider using Newsgroups now.
I don't know much about newsgroups but I just installed GrabIt and I'm downloading stuff right now without problem
However, I was wondering if there's really a major advantage to have a pay site like newzbin to find content easily?
I found a post in here with a list of free sites and some looks nice to get movies and TV NZB.
What does it offer, better search options, more nzb?
Thx :)
I tried it once a while back and wanted my dollar back. There is nothing there you can't easily find elsewhere. I know some people use it b/c they can save searches or create bookmarks, but I don't have a need for any of those "perks".
http://newzleech.com/ is my best friend for finding NZBs. It's going to have 99.999% of anything you're looking for. On the rarest of occasions that you think something is out there but you don't see it, you can also try http://binsearch.info/.
My first stop for NZBs is usually FST though. :happy:
Also, I suggest ditching Grabit and trying Alt.Binz. It has far more options. You can grab the latest version off of Usenet.
That's what I thought, I'm already paying for Usenet so why pay for a search engine.
I like the subcategories added by rossco in the NZB index , think it wasn't there in the past.
Getting max speed on old release is so nice :smilie4:
Use Newsleecher, it's in the NZB section (i upped it) it has fully working super-search (search and it will find, no need to visit search engines :) ), also, it has auto repair and extract and many other great features.
Yeah, the auto unRAR and auto repair of Alt.Binz and Newsleecher is a big one-up on Grabit.
I installed Alt.binz and I like it, the design and functionality.
I see it can auto-pause par files, I didn't find a way with Grabit, that's nice.
Newsleecher is so much better..at least for the added supersearch.
But you have to pay for it right?
I got a copy (that was my first choice) but the license isn't working
You can use Supersearch in Alt.Binz.Quote:

Might be a true story from someone paying for it. still NL is still better.Quote:

I've used it in the past and came back to Alt.Binz as it is a simpler app which still suits all my needs.
Where is the SuperSearch in alt.binz, the NL SS tab?
Yes. But unless you pay for it, I assume it won't work.
Supersearch is over-rated anyhow. It was the shit several years back but now indexing is no big deal. There are two other methods which are integrated into Alt.Binz which I prefer and neither of them are Supersearch.
I haven't done side by side comparisons between all nntp clients and will not tell you that I have chosen the very very BEST!
For what its worth, I've been using newsbin for awhile and I like it. It works. Check it out if you want.
Regards,
Hugo
Its not exactly a necessity, you can get everything you need without it.Quote:

It doesn't get any easier than that :)
Oh - and if you want to go one step better, run ORB and you can then start watching/listening to it immediately from wherever you are!
I like Newsbins simplistic interface. Since their are not really any working fixes after version...5.35 - Build 8142 I only use that one, Newsbin is what I started with. Newsleecher has many options that are automated, which makes downloading a breeze, it detects if the file is broken and re-downloads it if a server hiccup happens, instead of downloading a incomplete file as Newsbin will do as well as Alt.binz, it will download a incomplete if you force it... Alt-binz is my pick for free newsreader although SABnzbd is simple to.
Super Search is not over rated, it saves me so much time from going to a search engine, plus it helps me find goodies to release here. I rely on FST for my NZB's, but what I can't find, Super Search will, or I'll up it. With Newsleecher, the client (as in fix) is setup to use Giganews's server, so very reliable NZB index server, it grabs it's results from them. Newsleecher with current fix has been "bug free" on both XP and Vista SP1.
PS, anyone not "paying" for Newsbin Pro will not be able to use SSL...just to let ya know, and with alt.binz (if you didn't pay) will result in your downloads being corrupted.
Skizo,
What 2 methods in Alt.Binz do you prefer to NL's Super Search?
Skizo NL SS beats every other method in Alt.Binz. But you do have to pay for it. I do preffer NL SS. Then my next option is Easynews web interface. You can search for any file there as well and it even gets .iso and movie files inside rars for you to download.
nzbmatrix is a great nzb indexing site. But you have to donate $10 to get unlimited nzb file downloads and 270 days of retention and they have a vast amount of nzb files from basically every catergory of interest, games, movies, music etc (I did donate). I also have grabit (free newsreader) but may try out newsleecher (after reading the posts in this thread).
if u prefer indexing sites go to nzbsrus.com...you can only dl 5 nzbs a day but at any rentention...i find it much better than nzbmatrix.com...for search sites nzbindex.com, binsearch.info, newzleech.com and others
really theres no need for sites like newzbin, nzbsrus, nzbmatrix.com if you know how to search headers/search sites extc
I've been playing with all those options in the last day and I found the SuperSearch a great tool and there are some great free nzb sites around (including this site! )
I'm happy with this, think I won't use much of BT sites for a while
pay for super search is waste of money at this moment
super search retention is about 150 days general retention and 75 for erotica
there are numerous cd-keys for 3.9 final with working ss but the truth is that this search engine sucksCode:http://www.newsleecher.com/ss.php
instead ss just use newzleech.com you will get better and faster result for sure
lol good joke mate :)Quote:

Furthermore the update will also enable us to pump the SuperSearch retention to 250 days. Or even more if needed.
Next, supersearch gives the exact same results in the same amount of time, I've done extensive testing on it...and there ARE NOT numerous NL keys floating around, only ones created by FFF's keymaker, all the rest are blacklisted and supersearch doesn't work. In NL if you look at SS, it says clearly 200 day...and I believe you can just input what days, plus who needs more than 200? Astraweb and Giganews only stand at 225 give or take, and are constantly upgrading their retention.
I also notice that SS shows "new" posts about 10 minutes or so before the other search engines do, so SS can't being going of Newzleech if SS is bringing back results and the others are not.
Dude the joke is on you.Quote:

Check that post. SS actually indexes more than other sites like newzleech or binsearch etc... The max number of days right now is only 200 days but that should be changing soon since astraweb and giganews are going for 360 days.
SS actually indexes stuff very soon after posted. I also use Easynews Web interface to find stuff but you also have to be a member of Easynews to use that. I don't think there is anyway to get SuperSearch for free right now. I looked for a while then gave up and just bought Newsleecher. The old version that has a working keygen will make you update newsleecher before using SS.
You can remove update notices or just cancel the download...

easy guys:lol: sorry if i insult your lovely newsreader lol
with FFF's keymaker i think its enough to generate a lot of ss keys.
'from where i get my information'?Hmm what information?If you mean ss retention then i read it from nl admin http://www.newsleecher.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18126
As posted on the News section of the main website.
SuperSearch Retention
Lots of you have asked us to increase the retention of SuperSearch, as many usenet providers have announced upcoming usenet retention increases, reaching as far as 250 days and more.
Up till now we've said that we could not increase the retention of SuperSearch until, probably, late 2009, due to some technical limitations.
Good news! We're found a work-around way, that will enable us to increase the SuperSearch retention to keep up with the usenet providers offering the longest retention.
We'll look into the SuperSearch retention upgrade as soon as the initial NewsLeecher Version 4 beta is official.
Which I've been getting results to that extent. No offense mate :)
The discussion of using keys is borderline breaking the rules. I'll leave the posts but please get this back to the original discussion.
I shot you a PM Skizo...
Didn't even realize that, will go back and edit them..this way no harm done :DQuote:
