as has been mentioned, demonoid is #1, absolutely no comparison. you just gotta get an invite(which doesn't seem like a problem at this place, lol). gotta keep your ratio up though, or you'll get the axe.

 

wrong...straight from their FAQ

 

My ratio is getting too low, am I going to be banned?

The ratio system is purely statistical and somewhat innacurate for the ones with shared or dynamic ips. Besides what other users may think of you for not sharing, there is no punishment for having a low ratio.

Their is at least one real good thread on newsgoups here on CR. I believe Thorne (a neverending advocate of newsgroups) started one.

 

I found one, but his links need to be updated or some shit. Anyway, just try searching newsgroups here on CR.

If you want binaries, then sign up for an account:

 

http://www.astraweb.com (unlimited w/ SSL)

 

Go get GrabIt: http://www.shemes.com/

 

Go get Quick PAR http://www.quickpar.org.uk/Download.htm

 

Configure GrabIt for your Newsgroups Account.

 

Go to a site like nzbmatrix.com - Find NZB you want, and download it. Let GrabIt and Quick Par take care of the rest.

This is exactly what I do.

 

Protip If you configure Grabit it will auto parcheck and extract the compressed file(s) after it finishes downloading. Always cool to go to bed and wake up with everything downloaded and already unrared.

Ok, let me be a bit more dense.

 

I dont know what Newsgroups are, nor where to locate them or sign up for them.

 

Ill go look at Grabit and Quick Par.. maybe seeing those sites will clear things up for me?

 

Usenet has been along since the internet started. It is a real basic electronic bullet board sort of like CR. You have to pay someone like astraweb for access to use their servers to read and download the attachments. Each post you can make on usenet allows you to upload a small file. A large download is probably hundreds and hundreds of different attachments so using an NZB file is just 1 file that points to all of them. Use nzbmatrix as a search engine to find what you want to download. Use grabit to read the NZB file and download everything automatically.
