moving to usenet...

Well, after 2 weeks of thinking, I made my decision.. :cool: Now for me bittrrent is past & moving to usenet services.. (except for BCG, in which I'll continue to be active )
Returned months ago in bt after almost 2 and half years , and looks like present bt is not a place for me...
I hope there is no mod, admin, cheating shit in usenet.. :P (is there any??)
I'm perfect n00b in this section..
Looking for some legands in this section to guide me.... :)

I used to spend $160/month in seedboxes, so, I can spend almost same amount here, akthough in the begining, for first 1 month or so, I would rather prefer some free providers (if there exist any) (kinda, trial offer).....

Hoping to start fresh...:whistling

$160 a month? :blink:
Man ,choose whatever usenet ISP you want. Start by looking around on our specials, it's a good starting point.

As for free services, you are limited on your DL speed and retention days. I suggest you to start with just4today and add a couple of IPv6 servers, which you can find how to tunnel to in our tutorials section.

After that I'll move to paid ones..

@OP

Holy freaking jesus, $160/month, damn. You could get almost 5 Giganews Diamond accounts for that much. None of the bullshit associated with torrents applies to Usenet. You don't have to worry about ratios, stroking someones balls for favors, and other ridiculous crap. Anyway get a paid provider man if you had the money for a seedbox like that. You will be saving at least $130/month and you will always max out your bandwidth.

I was thinking about giganews account for $25+$11 astraweb account =) to back up each other lol ... with THAT kind of money...
or perhaps $11 supernews +11$ astraweb.. or just $11 astraweb+some block account

so you now can giver your seedbox to me for remaining month :lol:

Can I comment on how you've been wasting so much money all this time, also? :mellow:

If you know nothing about Usenet, Rart has made a great tutorial that will explain the basics. Here's the link.

There's a lot of useful threads in this section also, regarding free accounts, IPv6 tunnels and which paid provider you should choose.

No, actually that is quite complicated.. I used to run my test sites in my dedis too.. So, I can't just abort them just now, and that changeover will take time.. rest of this month may be..

Actually I started thinking about that when I got banned in sdbits.. Then today, ptn followed the same rule, actually staff there don't even understand what is vpn/vps.
So, :pinch:
Frankly saying anon, the ratio-master thingy is doing too much hram, for those who use it and also for those who use gbps seedbox.. Hery hard to differentiate between them.. ;)
And I'm also tried of these new users in bt. When I left bt 4 years ago, I'd some friends.. All of them either left bt for ever or moved to usenet.. And they helped me to take the chanover decision too. ;)

thanks for the link.. :)

PS. Hope I'll not get banned in bcg soon, as I said earlier, that is the easiest tracker to seed back without a box and my home connection is good enough to do that ocesionally when I need some of the games.. :whistling

edit: giganews diamond pla is awesome!!! I'll surely start using it soon. :)

Whats so awesome about it?

MIMO really sucks, trust me
Its not worth your money , i wouldnt even use it if it was free

The only possible good thing there is VPN service.. but im not sure if it works OK

if you want giganews id stick to $25 plan tbh
though in my opinion it would be beter to get $11 astraweb + block account( for instance 100 GB Block Account ($14.69 Non-Expiring)$0.15 / Gig!) and see how it goes

But its your choice)

I'll try out everything you eolpe say before sticking to one particular plan..

Bijoy all this talk got me to try usenet for the first time last night .
Newsleecher seems like a good program and I certainly like the ( best) part about not dealing with adolescents but it seems to be almost entirely scene . :mellow: I also found it a little confusing trying to find anything and in the end just downloaded some shit (Deathrace 2 :pinch: ) using the NBZ here to test it out.
Anyway I'm seriously considering dropping a few bucks on Astraweb's pay per usage option ( with my monthly internet cap $25 would go a long way ) and give it a fairer test .

Wow, you finally took the first step.

Mostly scene? Sure, FST's indexing is mostly about scene, but I can assure you if you use newsleecher's embedded supersearch or a site like nzbindex.nl, you will find that usenet is mostly about non-scene.

Drop me a PM if you need further guidance.

unfortunately supersearch has started yet again to leave out many posts recently...at least the ones i tried to find
to be honest im quite fed up with NL customer support or rather the lack of it.... and pretty sure im not gonna renew my subscription until they get their shit together

the best built-in search is in usenet explorer. but its kinda sophisticated and not user-friendly newsreader so i definitely wouldnt recommend it to a newbie
the best web based search out there is a combination of nzbindex.nl+mysterbin.com (searching within archives- total pwnage)+binsearch.info

well, Cabalo, help me in one thing please...
Presently, I'm in the trial offer of giganews diamond.. one problem is: generally I'm interested only on apps, movies (hd & sd) and pc-bxox-ps3 games..
Now leaving out the games part to bcg, I need 2 things from usenet, movies & apps. As we know scene release of movies are not so good, so, is there any server/indexers where I can find really good quality of movie??

Nice to see that you can also understand the present condition of bitorrent. :)

Good point.

Regarding the movies, what I first do is to look for the encode group I'm looking for. So I go to nzbmatrix and look for all the existent encodes of the movie I look for. Once I've found the one that suits me the best, I lookup for its retention date.
Then, I look for that movie on a site such as nzbindex.nl, and lookup for the result matching the same age. And voilá, there I have it.

For apps, I usually look for what's released on 0daykingz and then try to find it either at merlins-portal, nzbmatrix, nzbs.org or nzbsrus, and if it isn't yet available, manually look for it on nzbindex.nl. I always look for the size of the release so I'm assured I'm not releasing some fake release.

Talking about high quality movies..
The thing is many bluray movies are hard to find on usenet coz of stupid archive names, passwords and such like

If you want to get full blu-rays easy then u might want to consider joining abhdtv.net

i would say da best sourse for blu-rays that are available on usenet.

The bad side is you gotta pay $20\year and they have stupid rules.

and another one that has a large section for german blurays(of course they have english audio) is http://www.realmom.info/ (free)

Cabalo,
to be honest its not a challenge to find 99% of movies spotted on nzbmatrix using all 3 search index sites ive mentioned when you are experienced enough with the way things are on usenet

and sometimes matrix just doesnt have the right one.

just my 2 cents

If it involves HD then of course they have stupid rules.

Here's another comment regarding your $160 spending during each month on silly PRIVATE-TORRENT-TRACKERS.

I don't know what that's supposed to mean but if both the RM and a gigabit seedbox do H-RAM then I'd go for the former. I have one gig and a half but memory that generates itself out of thin air is always welcome. :)

my typing mistake causing trouble.. :rolleyes:

@ Cabalo: thanks!!!
@ Hypatia: not really the blueray movies, but some good release of HD release will do that job for me.. :)

I've found the best way to find a classic film in xvid is just to do a simple search at nzbindex. Usually you can find something. Otherwise I know binaryinvasion used to have a lot of full dvdrs of classics spotted, especially nonscene stuff.

Most of the major p2p encodes get posted by #a.b.hdtv.x264 and are properly named. You can either browse the headers or monitor any decent nzb site to find them.

I agree that abhdtv is probably the best for full blurays, but they may even be worse than HDBits... I'd check out binaryinvasion forums, where there are a lot of experienced spotters pointing out nzbs, especially since the site seems to be moving towards full blurays (they've always been the best for dvdrs - they host #a.b.dvdr).
