Hi John,

Having worked in the usenet world for over 10 years, it is definitely not dead and actually thriving. There is about 5 Terabytes of new data added daily.

Thanks,
Liz

Yeh, USENET is dead. Focus on the torrent people. Those are the real criminals.

Usenet is for us geeks that like to talk about Binary code and share code strings with each other

Anyone who want’s to learn will. The aid of internet information just makes it easier. I say let everyone learn the way the elder’s did. “The hard Way”. Or by a close friend that they know isn’t out to harm the system or it’s values.

hey ppl,

im a noob when it comes to usenet, ive tried everything but i cant seem to download anything.

im using unison on my hackintosh.. plus ive also tried grabit, but nothing seems to work.

the files im trying to download only appear to be like 4-6 mb, when they should be like 50-70mb. i can download the .nfo and .sfv files with no problem, but not the .avi or whatever file it is…

what am i doing wrong? any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I never thought I was a noob, having been pottering with tech-esque crap for a fair while, but I’m buggered if I can get Grabit to do anything but fail to connect, and Newsbin seems next to useless. Now, while I’m completely prepared for the uber-geeks to do the flame thing as soon as I post this, I just don’t understand how it’s any better than P2P…?
I’m not to proud to take advice from anyone though, as my adventure into the shady non-world of Usenet was prompted by my favourite content provider going offline recently, and the big black hole it’s left in my non-social life is starting to get to me! I need content! :)

P.S. I’ve read quite a few guides now, including the one above. Maybe I am a noob!

I use usenetbinaries.com – with newsleecher and NZBindex.nl as Firefox add-on search engine – very pwoerful combo.

usenetbinaries.com downloads and thumbnails all the porn into galleries and converts all the video into H.264 MPEG4 so you can play it anything. WAY easier.

Big Dave, do you really think that the media conglomerates are unaware of usenet and its nefarious uses? This whole, “the first rule of usenet is we don’t talk about usenet” is horse shit. Content providers are not idiots. Usenet is left alone because your average person is too stupid or lazy to jump through all of the hoops to use it and does not want to pay another fee above their DSL.

Wasn’t oink tracked back to a single person running the site? Usenet, I think not.

Leave Nick alone. He lingers longer….

Can we kick this Nicholas Deleon off the internets? This is the same guy who posted about oink then subsequently killed it. Seriously I think this might be a job for Anonymous! I know they are not my personal army but it think its time something is done.
