giganews.com if you have that money... newshosting.com if you want it a bit cheaper with a lil less retention

Giganews was a professional company that I used and would go back to them (except now my ISP uses them and I don't have to pay extra now).

that's why there are par-files
with a decent newsprovider and par-files you should have no problem... |
yes I never download those par files as they seem not compleded... like 5 par2 files with 1mb and 30mb and 5kb wtf are they?  |

check this guide:

yeah man, par files can recover missing or corrupted rar files (those associated with the par file)...the small pars files are for when u are missing just a few blocks where as the larger ones in combo with the smaller size ones can repair or create the need files |

first of dipshit, not tying to flame u tho (sarcasim), im not new to newsgroups and have been using em since the early 90's thank u very much
And dude, go to newzbin. Click on the games section. Click a game, then when it brings u to that page with the game info, click the link "show Files"....which then says u need a Premium Account to access the files....which u have to pay for...so my question to u is, how long have u been using newzbin?
here's an example..google
Click the show files button...doesnt work now does it? Cuz u need a premium account for a service that is offered for free by other sites....naw, thats not a scam now is it? And the fact they rely on user's to contribute to their index is retarded as not all groups are covered and not usually on time...U know how many times Ive downloaded something like a new big release from a group, and it takes newzbin like 5 hours or so to post that the game was posted in whatever group - half the time its not even the group i got my shit from...they are scammers, plain and simple
And nbzone or whatever u commented on, well, atleast they actually post shit, sometimes 0day games or movies, but they do post new releases all the time in certain groups...obviously ur not aware of this or the groups they post in...
Now go to...google (i think that is the site). U can search for a game, say Fable, find out what group its in, then go one step further and see the files associated with post - are they complete, incomplete, do they have par files etc...
But lets go pay newzbin because they have their own little nzb file extension that allows to u just load the nzb file and it auto downloads the headers/files contained in it...instead of u know, clicking on alt.binaries.whatever and selecting them manually...
And like Ive said, i always see 0day posts from nzbzone....not once have I seen a poster representing newsbin...all they do is archive and they do a shitty job to say the least. And they charge for it...no, thats not a scam at all.....

huh? Was that a flame or what?

Click a game, then when it brings u to that page with the game info, click the link "show Files"....which then says u need a Premium Account to access the files....which u have to pay for...so my question to u is, how long have u been using newzbin?

st that the game was posted in whatever group - half the time its not even the group i got my shit from...they are scammers, plain and simple
Newzbin.com = you pay or you don't... read their policy
And nbzone or whatever u commented on, well, atleast they actually post shit, sometimes 0day games or movies, but they do post new releases all the time in certain groups...obviously ur not aware of this or the groups they post in...
Funny they are being marked as no1 scam site on most site's who deals with nzbs.....
Now go to...www.binnews.com (i think that is the site). U can search for a game, say Fable, find out what group its in, then go one step further and see the files associated with post - are they complete, incomplete, do they have par files etc...
They doesn't carry nzbz (you make em) your using their USP to see the headers, why not use your own USP's+client to see the headers?
But lets go pay newzbin because they have their own little nzb file extension that allows to u just load the nzb file and it auto downloads the headers/files contained in it...instead of u know, clicking on alt.binaries.whatever and selecting them manually...
That's your thing, let the people who pays for shell accounts/nzb accounts/ etc etc do it without morons calling their sites a scam.... If you want to do things manually then what's the problem? If people wanna pay for a site that lists nzbs, then what's the issue?
And like Ive said, i always see 0day posts from nzbzone....not once have I seen a poster representing newsbin...all they do is archive and they do a shitty job to say the least. And they charge for it...no, thats not a scam at all..... |
That's your opinion, I was trying not to flame you when you called them "being a scam" I suggest you go there one more time+read their policy...
Weird.. ok I've edited your quote, with my reply's 
Why is it that evry time I post nforce Im in my worst mood hmmm

lol I post when im usually in a bad mood myself
i have read their policy and such, but I dont understand how u dont see my point.
Go to usenetspider.net or search for it on google.
U search for say Fable - it will bring a list up for fable that includes every file posted in whichever group its in, if all the files are complete, how big they and if there are recovery files for the game/app or whatever it may be.
Yet they charge for that same thing at newzbin....how is that not a scam...obviously u have the choice to pay or not...but that doesnt mean its not a scam...u have the choice with any scam...u either buy into it and get scammed or u dont buy into it and dont get scammed...so i dont understand what ur saying

i fail to see how that is a scam,
they provide a well structured, sorted and edited interface to create nzb-files
in a way that no free service provides...
imagine the following scenario:
i want to watch a movie tonight, i've no idea which one.
i browse their movie section, "hmm that movie looks interesting",
someone posted a comment on that post "movie has hardcoded dutch subs", bleh.
onto the next movie, i view the nfo file: dvdrip, and click the imdb link: nice score
i save the nzb file, mail it to my "download-box", the download starts,
1h later the movie is automatically verified, repaired and extracted
i'm ready to switch on my xbox and watch it
now i could have downloaded it by searching for the files on the free sites,
but i've no idea what to search for in the first place
i could have found the movie by crawling through the groups manually,
downloading headers, reading the follow up comments,
but that's just tedious
i pay for that "luxury" and my own laziness,
3 months for the price of a pack of cigarettes
a scam is for me, if i get nothing for my money.
to each their own
