Free Usenet With No Hassle
Thx a lot for the direction...
oooh, the name is different, maybe thats why i dont find it using search...
hope i can still get it right
If you have trouble getting a post this old on the free service you're using, try
UsenetStorm.Com
This is a fairly new service that lets you download from Usenet, with an nzb, from your regular browser.
They sell a premium service, but at least for now, there's a really decent free service that works.
You need to create an nzb smaller than 500MB, so if you want something larger, you need to split a post,
& create 2 smaller nzb's.
I tried a 180MB MP4 I posted to Usenet a while ago, & got it okay. Then, just to see if I could do more than one,
I split the nzb for CD-1 into 2 smaller nzb's, & was allowed to go back for those 2 with no problem.
You need to save an nzb on your hard drive, then go to UsenetStorm. You'll see a box at the top
for submitting your nzb. It will process, files will be put into a zip archive, & you'll be told the file is ready.
Click the Download button to go to the download page, where you'll have the final Download button.
According to Binsearch, I posted CD-1 570 days ago, & UsenetStorm was able to get it. Not bad for a freebie.
Download speed was fairly steady at around 277 KBytes/sec.
I always said that free Usenet was crap compared to Usenet that you pay for, but this one
is great for those who want to download from Usenet with less trouble, as all you need is an nzb or two,
and your regular web browser.
For anyone else who wants to try this, be warned that most of the nzb's for my posts here
(well, for the MPG's, anyway) are larger than 500 MB, so you'll need to make 2 smaller nzb's
for each video you want to download.
This is Usenet with much less trouble than you get being a free downloader on any of the file lockers!
