richcornucopia Posted December 9, 2005 CID Share Posted December 9, 2005 I keep seeing all these banners for usenet sites, does anyone use them, or like them. What are they good for and whats the best deal? Most sites I've found charge a monthly subscription for a certain amount of bandwidth. Any info is appreciated.

Guest kamil234 Posted December 9, 2005 CID Share Posted December 9, 2005 yeah i heard the same, some info would be nice since i dont feel like paying like $20 to download a gig or 2 lol, it says you can download full html speed, that'd be nice [movies in a couple of minutes woot woot] and its supposed to be anonymous.

jefffisher Posted December 9, 2005 CID Share Posted December 9, 2005 usenet is great, i download a minimum of 5 gigs a day and it only takes about ten-twenty minutes for a full movie to download. My two favorite nzb sites are nzbsrus.com and newzmonster.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullwinkle Posted December 10, 2005 CID Share Posted December 10, 2005 Usenet will eventually be like telnet and gopher. Some ISP's have stopped offering usenet because their subs didn't know what it was and weren't using it. What a shame Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just- Posted December 10, 2005 CID Share Posted December 10, 2005 Usenet is like a forum they have been the 1st form of file sharing that i can remember you need a program to access it, just like you need outlook to access ur email server you need a program to access your news server. most ISP offer free newsgroup server to their users i dont know the diff from usenet and newsgroups to be honest so you get this program like forte agent you type in ur news group server free from your isp or you get one of those that you guys see on websites you need to pay for and its like a forum there diff is people attach files to their posts like one movie broken down with rar for 14MB files then they upload one post with each piece, this is to a main server of ther isp, the ISP keep their server updates via their massive trunks between them selves so when u download from a newsgroup from ur ISP you will get the best speed ever of your connection some isp dont have newgroups and some isp restrict the amount of download on them http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsgroups just stated reading this two websites and they explain stuff much better then i did maybe i should stop explaning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
