Because the costs are minimal, the speeds are as fast as your connection can go, it's stable, it doesn't require you to share anything, there's no chance of them being taken down tomorrow and then not being able to sign up to another one as it's "closed for new members without an invite" It costs around £7 / month from what I hear, which tbf, is fuck all. Just off the top of my head.

Because there's plenty of stuff that isn't on a torrent, or has been out a while so that a lot of the seeders have finished so it downloads slowly. Being able to use it at Uni with blocked ports was handy, too. I still use torrents as well as Usenet, but for what works out as £6 a month, which I'd only blow down the pub otherwise, I like having the option.

Newsbin.com I hear is a good indexxing site, along with Merlins Portal..... So I hear.... Oh and Newshosting is THE best provider out there as it's by far the most reliable, Giganews is hit and miss, so I'm told..... Newshosting gets another vote from me :D

	^^ but thats subscription? I still cant see myself paying for what i can get for free? ive just downloaded I am legend in the space of about 9 minutes on torrent.

	I use Easynews, I've used it for about 4 years if not longer and it's gone from strength to strength and I've NEVER had a problem with it. The fact you don't even need to use anything but a web browser makes it brilliant for when I was on a uni connection with all other ports blocked.

	ok, ive downloaded grabit, logged on using my isp details. Ive listed a trillion groups but not subscribed to any. should i do this first? And im not sure where binshearch is?
Dan Lewis	posted on 22nd Dec 07 at 22:46
	you using grabit? go to newzbin search for the file if the file is new you'll have no problem downloading. click the file to bring the info up. and you'll get a file name that ends in .nfo copy and paste that into binsearch and you can create the nzb from there
Bart	posted on 22nd Dec 07 at 22:21
	ive managed to connect to my isp's newsgroup, but after registering with newzbin and such like they're still asking me to pay in order to download the nzb file :( anyway around this?
Dan Lewis	posted on 12th Dec 07 at 11:40
	your isp will provide a free one, search there homepage for there isp. if something is very old then thats when you have to pay.
Bart	posted on 12th Dec 07 at 08:52
	do you have to pay a subscription for all of the above newsgroups?
amxor	posted on 8th Dec 07 at 15:18
	giganews is supposedly the best news provider, but i'm currently using newsdemon.com and they seem to be good.
amxor	posted on 8th Dec 07 at 15:17
	otherwise, you can use newzbin.com and search for what you need, and it will create a NZB file to queue up what you want to downloan.

	I dont understand newsgroups. I tried them once but couldn't understand them. If anyone cares to explain them to me I will be more than happy to listen :D Just never something that I tried hard to use lol

	i have allways used torrents and some times you get the bad ones or hard to find a file. but yesterday i started using newsgroups at 5 last night and allready i've downloaded 14.5GB of stuff maxing out my connection 100% but it wont slow anything else down. so i wouod reccommend newsgroups to anyone 4meg broadband getting 500kb/s soon be upgraded to a 8meg service average downspeed pf 420kb/s and it peeked at 1mb in the night :thumbs: :) [Edited on 24-11-2007 by Dan Lewis]
