[Chri5]

i know what it is but i dont know how to use it.

 

[Neokenzo]

My mate has it and he keeps asking me to try it out but I havent bothered

 

[shadow.prx]

[aishamontreal]

i know what it is but i dont know how to use it.

+1 here, I have no idea how to use it :S

 

[Juo]

I think its can be made super easy to use, with something like http://www.sabnzbd.org/ and an nzb website (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NZB)

My mother uses it :P

For those that don't know how to use it, ill try and put it into terms you'll be familiar with, you need an NZB website which gives out XML data files (like a .torrent) http://www.binsearch.info/

After you've got that NZB file you'll want to put it in a download manager (think jDownloader or uTorrent)

Mac: http://www.panic.com/unison/
HTTP: http://www.sabnzbd.org/ (a bit like Rapidshare leech)

Thats usenet in a nutshell just to give an overview.

Yes and from giganews,usenet-news and easynews.Pretty much all warez-centre's VIP should have access to those 3 usenet services.

 

[Raven Faust]

Every ISP gives out Free usenet access but your limited to about 2gb a month or less, you have to ask your ISP Provider for the details and so on, or look on the help section of your ISP's Website.
I did use the Usenext free trial's for awhile ,back when they had them, it was so-so, Kinda like IRC in a way but just alot of dump servers.

 

[iMage]

i use giganews myself with newsbin as my client for downloading

 

[Hyperz]

I use it, my ISP kindly gives me free Usenet >_>.
Using it is simple, download Grabit and use sites such as these to create an nzb:

[CyberPirate]

Yes, I do. I'm daily in touch with Microsoft's C# programmers over Usenet.

 

[Juo]

I use it for chat for Rails related topics but I must admit I feel more at home on a HTTP forum.

 

[Addicted]

been using it for years, i use giganews but supernews and ngroups are also good to go with... usenet is better than torrent shit just prefer topsite for releases and usenet for old stuff or none-scene.

provider: giganews
client: alt-binz, payed version.

\a

 

[Robin H]

[The Coon]

astraweb ftw!! I downloaded a few TB of hd movies there in a few days when my internet speed upgraded :D

 

[Rohit]

I've heard that there's a huge collection of Color Climax's banned porn movies shared on Usenet !!!

 

[Myth?]

No I dont.

 

[lig}{tning]

no never

 

[360madden]

i know what it is but i dont know how to use it.

all you need a is good usenet client program to make use of it without actually undstanding how it works. and just because your isp may not offer usenet themselves doesnt mean you couldnt choose a dedicated usenet provider

 

[devNULL]

yeah usenet 4ewa, thatz rox !

service: all
