Stelly · 1 Oct 2007 at 16:06

Been using PowerUsenet for awhile now...

Never had any problems and always maxed out my connection (when Virgin let me).

thanks Slyvester cleared it up now

Ive tried many but always go back to giganews you can get cheaper but they can't match giganews.

i use newshosting and never had an issue and for $14.95 unlimited a month you can't really complain....

something daft already!! · 3 Oct 2007 at 12:20

So what does one download from these news groups then? The link seems to imply this is pirated movies?

sidethink · 3 Oct 2007 at 12:22

You can download anything that anyone wants to post.

There is a lot of file sharing going on, some of it is certainly of questionable legality.

Giganews! Free newsleecher subscription too.

More like all but we'll keep the contents of usenet out of this thread

what is the best way to search binary newsgroups?

hyper_piper45 · 4 Oct 2007 at 23:29

I suggest newshosting.com or maximumusenet.com both have been very good in the past.

tolien · 4 Oct 2007 at 23:39

Mention warez sites = thread goes byebye. Last warning.

Absolutely no doubt about it - the search engine that comes with Easynews which is called Global 4.
I grab the files from Newshosting but search for them with Easynews Global 4.

I think all usenet/newsgroup talk should be banned as anyone asking questions about usenet these days is only asking for one reason....

Usenet is a fantastic resource and has been for many years, years before those asking ridiculous questions such as "what is usenet cos my mate down the pub said i could get stuff off of it" were born.

Ban usenet talk i say. Or perhaps it's just the beer talking.

Agreed and im drinking a cuppa tea at the moment.

Yes lets ban the talk of anything that can be used to do illegal things, that would cast a pretty wide net, 99% of forum posters know where to draw the line and for the other 1% we have the Dons to deal with them.

Please don't abide by the "first rule of newsgroups is we don't talk about newsgroups" philosophy.
