cant find GOW1 & 2 :(

[Gun_Man]

I need to download GOW1 and 2, as my backups will no longer read :(
I have tried everywhere but can?t find them. Every time I try to download them links are dead on RS.

That'll be because RS take copyrighted stuff down pretty quick these days. Have you tried newsgroups or torrents? I personally had GOW1 off newsgroups 4 days ago, so know its there.

yeh I know what you mean, but I never understood news groups. If you can point me in the right direction that would be a big help mate.

Sure thing mate. Its that way >>>>>>>>>>>>> lol

There are numerous tutorials on newsgroups mate. You will need a client first like newsleecher or something. And also quickpar to check the files.

Then you can use search engines to find the files you require. I personally use NZBIndex - We index, you search (http://www.nzbindex.nl)

For beginners use GrabIt. (Client to download files, it has a par repair and extract tool inbuilt)

Youll need server access - something like astraweb or giganews are the favourites, these cost per month, but its a really good investment if you download a lot

And an indexing site (index of files) - I personally like nzbmatrix and use nzbclub if I cant find it on there - never disappointed.

Google all the names, should be the first link for each!

It's very very straight forward trust me :P
