To good to be true

If you download music, movies, tv-shows games etc from internett this will be of interest for you!

There are several ways to obtain the above mentioned material.
Bittorrent
Works pretty good with new material. But try to find some old music or films. If you find it, there are to few seeders so the speed is more or less turtle!

Filesharing
There are a bunch, Rapidshare, Uploading, Filesonic etc. They are all limited unless you pay a bunch of money.

P2P
Speed and quality of material is often a pain. You think you download the latest blockbuster, when finished you are the proud downloader of a german porn flick from the 70s.

And then there is Usenet! Usenet is not limited to seeders as the material is located on large server farms. You will get maximum speed even on old material. Usenet is almost as old as internet. It's very stable, and hold an extreme amount of data.

It was a pain in the ass to locate material on Usenet. Material posten on Usenet are often broken down into ALOT of smaller pieces (called Parts). Then some bright heads created something called NZB. NZB is an XML file that contains information on all the pieces that makes the material posted on Usenet.

NZB files are totaly harmeless. They are only text reference to pieces/parts of the posts on Usenet.

OK..so how do i get started useing Usenet and NZB files??

1. You need an NZB client
Just like Bittorrent clients there are a bunch.You could give (http://www.unzbin.com) a try. Its free and easy to use.

2. You need access to a Usenet provider
Some ISP providers include Usenet (NNTP) in their "package", check with your ISP. But you will probably end up useing and external Usenet provider. Because the ones included from you ISP is very limited. It will not carry the amount of material you want. There are a bunch of Usenet providers. UsenetServer is one of the best Usenet providers. Use the link below to get access to their servers. There is a 14 day trial.





3. You need access to a website with an NZB indexer and creator. This is where you will find all the "good stuff". As always, there are a bunch. Most that are worth something charges money, but www.nzb7.com is very good and free of charge.

Thats it really. Three easy steps for all the fun you can handle!
