20th Century fox vs Newzbin

If you have been to the many NZB sites (perhaps not Newzbin but in the old days) you would have definitely downloaded my NZBs.
How do you think they get there? - by magic?
If it wasn't for people like me you would have nothing and not be able to walk around saying 'I can get what I want' so give some respect.
It really does make me wonder why I bother with attitudes like that.

And just for the record my long old mans method consists of :

1) Search ??? par
2) That looks like it could be OK, click on Par to look in Par Viewer
3) Yep all the files are there, create NZB (actually I usually send it straight to my downloader if I'm not saving it).

It's amazing how you think leeching NZBs and sending them to SABnzbd is the best way.

Sounds Interesting.

How do you actually search a par?
 
@ dmpoole - is the general concensus of the more "in the know" group that the new Newzbin is secure. Are the new owners a known quantity or is it heading for being a virus ridden cess pit? Surely if the new site is accepting old passwords that must mean out details got hacked too? Payment details also (damn I hope not)?
 
It probably means they just took the database - I can't imagine any passwords are stored in plaintext.

As far as I'm aware, they never kept CC details.

Newzbin didn't store any CC details though - payment was handled externally iirc.
 
It wouldn't mean we got hacked, it just means the database was handed over/sold/whatever. I'd imagine/hope that the passwords were encrypted like any site that stores passwords.

Out of curiosity how is that different from using something like newzleech to search >look at completion percentage/list of files > click and let it make an nzb?

With Newzleech it isn't that different because you're searching raw Usenet and as long as you can you see completes then fair enough.
I used Supersearch for quite a while along with Newzbin but I really feel I've found the Holy Grail now.

Like this -

1) search for what you want with a PAR2 extension - http://www.disturbinthepeace.co.uk/pics3/par1.jpg

It is interesting to know that on Usenet there are only 19 NZBs that will come up for South Park s14 but 103 for PAR2 :eek:
Just shows how much goes missing.

2) Pick one that looks interesting and click on the PAR VIEWER - http://www.disturbinthepeace.co.uk/pics3/par2.jpg

Yeah looks complete, click on NZB and off you go.

3) HOWEVER, if I want I can click on the THUMB and see inside the file to see if it's what I want - http://www.disturbinthepeace.co.uk/pics3/par3.jpg

4) If I want I can search for the THUMBNAILS straight away - http://www.disturbinthepeace.co.uk/pics3/par4.jpg

very very very very useful
 
United forums got randomly pulled. Seems the owner just shut it down, didn't even tell any mods or anything else.

How is this discussion not against OC piracy rules? We can't discuss unaired TV episodes, yet it's seemingly ok to discuss (the pushing illegal side) of Usenet and how to find & download questionable items in detail :rolleyes:
 
Unfortunately dmpoole would have been far better to have demonstrated how to download Ubuntu. Quick dm - ninja edit before you get the thread disappeared. :p

Yep, because it looks like he severely misunderstands .nzbs.

How so? He's one of the guys actually making and supplying NZBs to the index sites; in what way has he severely misunderstood them? I personally wouldn't go to all the extra steps he's suggesting (just pull up the headers/search a raw feed and off you go), but I wouldn't say he misunderstands them??

It's fairly self-explanatory. If I search an NZB site right now for, say, CentOS 5.5 I might get only get one or two results. If I search Usenet itself (whether for the .par2 or else just generally) I might find 20 results. What dm is saying, I think, is that most of Usenet is not indexed by the NZB sites, meaning you can find a lot more stuff if you do it manually.

Or to put it another way, relying solely on NZB sites limits your scope greatly.
