Usenet

Been reading on how they stepping up again on file sharers . Apparently all P2P are being targetted now and they even getting their noses into bittorrents .. Apparently though usenet groups/tracker sites are almost impossible for them to trace . Anyone use them and can give me a few pointers ? I believe it's like looking for a needle in a haystack unless you know what ure doing . And also i don't want to go commiting myself to subrscribing to something i know very little about .

I think I got the jist of how it works I just need suggestions on best groups and sites to find music,film and programmes.

Thanks in advance for any help you can give guys

Re: Usenet

Is this the same thing as Newsgroups?

Re: Usenet

More like a cross between peer to peer and torrent ( it works on binnary file postings) . It's the earliest form of file sharing dates back to 1970's apparently ( don't worry it has been dragged into the 21st century) .Simmilar to newsgroups in that they share the same technology file systems communication and hosters . Just read a one page artical on it so i am no authority .. (hence the plea for advice) but on any P2P or torrent i can get the I.S.P. address of anyone i am downloading from or uploading to . Not so with Usernet . And the owners of these tracking decoding sites don't co-operate with the R.I.A.A. and other blood thirsty money hunters ( they don't keep log records) . So they are supposed to be as safe as it gets . Giganews.com is suppossed to be the largest tracker/decoder from what i know but i guess it's like on p2p .Kazzar and Morpheous are the biggest but slsk is what we go for because it has the music we prefer .. Is it the same with usenet?

Re: Usenet

I've been relying on it for ALL my illegal downloads for 3 years now and I'll never look back.

Usenet is newsgroups. It helps if you get your head around the traditional newsgroups. Your ISP should run an nntp server. Use a program like thunderbird or I think Outlook express, set up your news server (usually news.yourisp.com or nntp.yourisp.com).

Once done that you choose a discussion group to talk on, like alt.gossip.celebrities. Basically when you check the group it'll download the last 500 message headers, and will look just like an email inbox. You can read all the discussions, and post a reply to one and it will show up to everyone in the newsgroup. It works just like a cross between email and a forum.

Things have changed in recent years though. Thankfully usenet is swamped with nothing but sweet sweet warez! The trouble is a normal ISP's news server has no chance in hell of downloading it all since there's masses upon masses of warez in the newsgroups. (That's the way the news servers work, they download ALL newsgroup posts in the world). If you try and use you normal ISP's news server you'll soon see that most posts arent there, so you'll be missing a lot of parts to the files you need.

In steps these paid services, their job is to run a news server good enough to catalog everything and give you an easy way to sift through it all.

For 3 years now I've been paying for one of these called Easynews. I pay $US10/month.
I can browse the newsgroups and search for files, and the download speeds are the maximum my cable connection can handle. Plus there's no queues.

Good thing about the easynews interface is it can autounrar all the file chunks into 1 file before download, it has an awesome zip manager where u can organise all your downloads.
And u can even get a 20 or so frame jpeg thumbnail preveiw of a movie before downloading it.


I pity you suckers who use bittorrent. You get crappy speeds your whole life, you have to actually upload, you get queued. I don't put up with any of this and I usually have more luck finding something on easynews than i do finding a stoopid torrent file.

Everyone I've shown has been converted to the easynews way of life!

That should be all you need to know I think. One other thing about easynews. If you aint getting at least 600k/s, something is wrong. And if something is wrong you can actually change the routing easynews uses to get data to you - you can route things onto different backbones. They're on about 5 backbones from memory!


PS: Easynews is NOT paying me for this ad!

Re: Usenet

Go to a Warez site if you want to know how to grab illegal releases best and fastest but don't post about it on a public message board.
