Grabit is well known for being rubbish at handling SSL, it's not your end. Try Newsflash Plus, Unzbin, AltBinz or something like that.
I'll try one of them thanks

Thanks.
It just seems like little information is provided compared to tpb for example. Virtually no comments and often no .nfo file is included to tell you the quality or type of whatever you are downloading.

Forget Newzbin. Waste of time.
For 'scene' releases, use a public predb such as orlydb to search for release names. Plug the release name into binsearch.info, if it's something even reasonably popular it will have been uploaded at least once. Select what you want to download, hit 'Create NZB' and Bob's your uncle. You don't need someone else to create your NZBs for you!
Once you start doing this often, you'll find a few hacks:
a) Start using Google Chrome as your web browser if you're not already; set up search engine keywords for orlydb and binsearch. Saves massive, massive amounts of time
b) Use the SSL encrypted version of binsearch.info; if you want to plausibly deny what you're downloading from usenet it's pointless not having your search and download of NZB files encrypted as well
c) For the love of all that's good start using SABnzbd+ and forget about messing about with par2, rar, etc. files manually
d) Find an application (On OS X there's Hazel) that automatically takes .nzb files from your downloads folder and places them in a designated folder that SABnzbd+ monitors. As soon as you download an NZB, it'll get added to the SABnzbd+ queue, it'll be downloaded, parity checked (if applicable), unpacked (if applicable) and ready for your perusal without you having to lift a finger
Happy usenet-ing!

Nzbmatrix along with the best programme ever that is newsbin.
50mb and astraweb was horrific for me a year odd ago so went back to giganews but now giving it a try again its been rock solid.

Thanks for the information.
I am currently using SABnzdb+ with a firefox plug-in that automatically adds .nzb files to the queue.
I'm just surprised there isn't a more sophisticated way to know what you are downloading is what it says it is. It's lacking the community feedback, unless i'm missing something
