Thread: What do you use Newgroups for?

  1. #1
    In terms of binaries, what do you mainly download?

    I started off as a test wth Xbox games which is straight forward and amazingly fast with a large selection. But movies, and DivX films especially is very dissapointing as even a few popular films like 'mean girls', 'Collateral' fail to appear in any group.

    The search engines are just a bad when it comes to movies, what do you download from newsgroups mainly?

    New releases are mainly the mainstay of binaries in most media so dont expect to find old flicks to often...

    the same reason I pay for anything, convience. The free site are nice but are limited too so many people. Plus I split the cost with a friend.

    Where do you get that idea?
    They download all the headers all the time and editors sort them out for the subscribers.
    Yeah,sure there are probably some editors that make use of FTD and such,so they know what to look out for.

    But Nezwbin just blatantly copying everything from other indexing sites?
    Nah,don't think so.

    hmm...asspie
