I use newzbin as well.

I use Astraweb alongside it

 

[SC03OTT]

Newzbin here also.

 

[Scutch]

Newzbin, as you also get Newzxxx.com

Apparently.

 

[D4N13L]

I cant find the guide how to use newzbin. I have access but not a clue how to use it.

 

[Woodentop]

why do you need a guide? Download the nzb files and open with your nzb reader (this should be configured to connect to you usenet provider). Simples.

 

[eggy790]

cheers guys

can anyone invite me to newzbin?

also could someone explain why newgroups are safer?

thanks

[Timb1984]

Has someone got an invite for newzbin for me plz? Thx

 

[The Ironist]

Is there any benifits to newgroups over sites like rapidshare?

 

[Mells]

What a load of pische.

I've just paid for an nbzmatrix login and an astraweb login (10gb prepay) and I'm only getting 11.5k d/l max.

PWNT

What am I doing wrong? I thought this newgroup shiz should top out my connection. I'm on virgin and I'm getting 180k d/l with a torrent.

 

[Woodentop]

are you using the EU server? If not try using that one.

 

[Mells]

Hi mate, swapped to that and its the same. What port should I use? 119?

 

[SoA2k6]

Chances are you're ISP is limiting the port. See if your Newsgroup provide another port. Giganews use port 443 which is the same as HTML, meaning no slowdown! They're also doing a half price offer on unlimited GB, SSL encrypted for 3 months.


Can anyone send me a newzbin invite? soa2k10@gmail.com

Much appreciated

 

[SC03OTT]

How many connections are you connecting to? 1 or the full 20 or 30/whatever you are allowed?

 

[Mells]

I'm a nooowb and using Grabit. Dont know tbh.

What newsreader are you using? I'll try that.

 

[Mells]

WOOOOOOOOOOT.

Changed to the euro secure server now its doing 1meg +

Ta

 

[James172Cup]

I know its a cheeky ask but can anyone also send me a newzbin invite to jrooke9579@gmail.com,

regards

 

[Lagerlout]

I have 5 invites (I thought I'd used them all, but they must be renewed when you top up or something!)

First 5 email addresses PM'd to me get one.

 

[James172Cup]

ok, so I have grabit, i have a lifetime membership to nzbmatrix, what is the server address i put into grabit? i've read about 5 tutorials that are as clear as mud.

You need to then subscribe to astraweb or giganews etc.

I'm trying astaweb on the prepay deal they have and the addy of the server is:

ssl.astraweb.com

and

ssl-eu.astraweb.com

Plus your login details. Both with the SSL box ticked. Its fooking quick!

 

[gazzajamerson]

mells can you send me over a invite to my pm?

 

[guysy]

Which is the best to go for? obviously people opinions will differ and whats payment like?

PM if anyone fancys please?

Also looking for an invite please.

 

[gazzajamerson]

i just signed up for nzb matrix all fine,

Now looking to sign up to giganews but the payment page isnt protected? ie no padlock on screen? Also once i sign upto them is the all i need to do?

 

[DMS]

Anyone use Merlin's Portal?
What do NZBMatrix and Newzbin offer that justifies paying for the same thing?

 

[James172Cup]

I signed up to astranews 10gb for $10 deal just to try it, it is very quick so might sign up for the unlimited monthly razzle dazzle thingy.

 

[Mells]

mells can you send me over a invite to my pm?

Hi mate, only signed up yesterday myself so dont have any yet.

 

[Jonesy]

ive also got a few invites left if anyone wants one pm me.

 

[jimbo666]

Ive got five invites. PM me your emails and ill ping an invite to you.

 

[nosluom]

whats the best and cheapest news server to go for?!

 

[guysy]

^ +1 interested in server prices etc.

 

[riz]

is giganews the best one to use?
havent used any stuff for a while tbh

 

[ChrisR]

I signed up for NZB MAtrix and using Astrawebs pre pay 180gig package as that'll last me ages.

Been on it for 3 or 4 months now and still not used half of it up lol.

 

[guysy]

So for the 180gb astrawebs package you pay a one off $25 and once youve used that 180gb up you pay again?

And how much is NZB Matrix? is it yearly .. or?

Also once youve paid up for NZB matrix is is only that site you can use to find stuff to download?

I would rinse that 180GB pre-pay package as I am currently downloading alot of true HD content which comes in around 30-40GB plus everything else I download. I need unlimited lol
