JamesG Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 Depends how much you want to download. With GigaNews.com you get 25Gig a month for $12.99 (US Dollars) or 50GB for $18.99 or go the whole hog and get unlimited downloads for $25 I got 100Gb of hi-def movies from Giganews last month and I've pretty much abandoned p2p/bitorrent type programs now in favour of newsgroups. NTL haven't complained about my download amounts yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 mate was telling me about newsbinpro about you type in what you looking for and it tells you which group its in No that's not how NewsBin Pro works. Is he talking about the website newzbin.com ? I use that for finding which group the stuff I want is in, then download the NZB file from there and open it in NewsBin Pro. NewsBin Pro will then download the file directly from the newsgroup without having to first download a zillion header or owt like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboldham Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 the prob with Newzbin it only has a very small portion of what is actually posted to Usenet. I would definitely still recommend EasyNews - as that has a very powerful (although they dont advertise it!) search facility - from the search results you tick batches of files that then get put into your "zip manager" (10 slots of 2 gigs each) that you can download with a HTTP client - or - you can create an NZB from the file that you then import into NewsbinPro or your fave binary grabber. It's ace. R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaveriK Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 Used to use DC but got fed up with the attitude of some of the peopl ewho run the hubs, all very anal if you ask me. Was running Emule along side it but now i just use the mule, the software has been improved alot and the search engine works a treat. Once installed you just need to find a good sight that hosts the reference links. Mule rocks and is completely free and touch wood thus far i have not failed to find that which i have lusted after!!

KaoriFan Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 for us/uk tv series i use bitcomet as its the most stable, and pretty good on not hogging the system resources. the java engine on azureus can be a problem for some by pushing CPU usage to 100%., i used to use Shadow, ABC and Azureus. but now its bitcomet all the way. also for series by bt, i use mininova. torrentspy, torrentreactor, piratebay, and a few others. also the link site by orbdesign is great. giganews is my preffered usenet setup, with either xnews, or newsleecher. i also download asian tv series and movies (japanese, korean,chinese, tw and hk) for that i use d-addicts, FSC, piratebay and some other torrent sites as well and the usenet groups as they download at max KB/s the multimedia/binary newsgroups on giganews have amazing retention, and i have backup of newsfeeds. both unlimited monthly service. also use quickpar and a few other utils if needed. my recent giganews history is: Download Summary Period Start Period End Days Bytes GB 08/01/2005 08/01/2005 0.02 0 0.00 08/01/2005 09/01/2005 30.62 162,452,795,448 162.45 09/01/2005 10/01/2005 30.00 134,736,981,582 134.74 10/01/2005 11/01/2005 31.04 220,981,783,023 220.98 11/01/2005 11/04/2005 3.55 0 0.00 i am kind of a major tv series downloader, especially the ones not shown in the UK, lol cool thing is, giganews can be run through client or from web based the other place you will find me active is on IRC ,in various networks. been on their for a few years now. i run a number of channels, and also leech music, PV's and "drama's" on there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
