I just got up on this sh*t so i dont know the proper terms and sh*t but il try and explainfirst off, newsgroups work with NZB files.(from wikipedia) "NZB is an XML-based file format for retrieving posts from NNTP (Usenet) servers. .... NZB is effective when used with search-capable websites. These websites create NZB files out of what is needed to be downloaded".so enough of that, how do you get started?1. you need a website that lists nzb files. I have been recommended merlins portal - http://www.merlins-portal.net/Vbulletin/nzblists.php - but i cant seem to sign up (keep getting error message about multiple accounts). have also been recommended newzleech - http://www.newzleech.com/ and ATM use nzbmatrix - http://nzbmatrix.com/index.php. You search these sites for NZB files - in the same way you search a torrent site for torrents. So you find a nzb file for something u want to download. what next?2. you need a client to load the nzb file (this is like bitcomet or your torrent client of choice). You open the nzb file with a client program, which loads your download. I have been recommended grabit (free and very easy to use) - http://www.shemes.com/ is the website. 3. so, where do you actually download from? all files are held on "usenet servers" so you need a subscription (the only bit that isnt free). I use astraweb - http://www.astraweb.com/ but have also been recommended giganews http://www.giganews.com/. Astraweb you can pay monthly or for blocks of 25gb and 180gb, or you pay $9 (yes dollars) per month for unlimited access (not sure how unlimited it is yet). I started with 25gb for $10 to try it out.So, you find the nzb file, load it with grabit, and it arranges your download from astraweb. I get an average of 600/700 kb/s on 8meg talk talk broadband
