    NewsBins???

    HI guys

    Probably not the best place to ask

    can someone give me any good sites to look at to learn about Newsfeeds

    use torrent software (Bitcommet) at the moment which i know is P2P and all that.

    Have been told that news feeds are alot better????

    I know that i have to ahve a news reader of some description and possible subscribe to a site eg DemonNews etc

    How easy are they to set up and how easy are they to search for the things that i want to download.

    Also -are they much faster that torrent stuff

    Thanks Guys

    first of all who is your isp?( you might need to sign up to a server)
    grabit is a good free news reader and as you are new to the groups it would be worth subcribing to newzbins for a few week, till you get the hang of it.

        You will find a lot of helpful info at the link below. It is really well explained and if you do need other help then just ask back here.

        I use newsleecher and am on 10mb connection with VM. It only takes a few minutes to download a tv episode. (depending on the size and you speed)



        VM server is only crap because their retention is crap and they dont carry a lot of the best groups but you can use it still. Personally for ?39 for unlimited for 6 months is really good and thats with Ngroups and they have 100 day retention....never had any problems with them at all.

          i too use newsleecher and if you already use torrents you'll easily be able to find a 3.9 final version(cracked).

          i use giganews for the 200 days retention, altough more expensive than Ngroups i pay it for the extra 100 days.

          i'm on 20meg and can doenload a full 4.5gig film in around 30mins.

          have a look at these sites

          Independent Usenet provider since 2001. 5,695+ days retention, three server farms, 50 SSL connections, free VPN. Rated 4.6/5 on Trustpilot.

                      Queen indeed ............ you'll be sorry

                      As for the newsgroups, the link jaffa sent explains most of the stuff you'll want to know.
                      Incidentally anyone using virgin media as an isp should give there new usenet server a try "news.virginmedia.com" retention is still really poor (7 days) but you now have access to all the major groups including dvd/games etc.

                      Worth a try if its your first taste of usenet and you want to see what its all about.And if you get stuck just ask as there are a few on here with a good knowledge about this stuff.

                        fo info

                        I too use newsleecher, as already mentioned this is a great tool. I'm not sure if already said in other areas but hitnews.eu is pretty fast/reliable and very cheap for a paid for news server.

                        Last time it was 18euro for 3 months subscription with 8 connections and ssl.

                        It does have a 3 day free trial as well. (no I am not on commission ...!)

                        hope this helps.

                          funkeymonkey1973 all those shows you mentioned are well covered on the groups in a few different formats (xvid/h.264/wmv/dvd). If your struggling give us a shout and i'll see what i can do.
