Yes me too, I use a reasonable amount but not as much as I used too.

I use newsdemon http://www.newsdemon.com/ & Grabit http://www.shemes.com/

I pay £5.95 For 20 Connections and 50gb it should be £8.47 but I found a lifetime discount code which I'm not sure is still available. Look here http://www.newsgroupreviews.com/newsdemon-special-coupon.html

I use grabit because I find it the easiest to use, I have tried others and always found them to be over complicated. Grabit is simple and free if you don't want the search facility.  :y

As for indexing there are a few like what Jimbob uses nzbmatrix.com but I use nzbsrus http://www.nzbsrus.com/ They have special offers on all the time for lifetime membership so you can download unlimited NZB's rather than a maximum of 5 per day. I did manage with 5 per day for years but it caught me out a few times so ended up paying $9.99 for liftime membership now I don't have to worry.

Like jimbob said!! HAPPY DAYS!!  :y

Now you haveguesed whyI was asking.  I used to hve full access years ago, but stopped using the newsgroups quite a while back, so when I returned I was locked out.

Alltthough I have'nt been on the NG's since April I was using this site.

https://secure.giganews.com/signup/  and had the platinum account.(Currently £7.55a month)

I could give you quite a few links to forums that have the type of stuff you are likely to find on NG's, but there won't be a lot of point in posting them because "schh, you know who" will remove them for fear of something or other.

NG's have the latest "releases", but only after those "releases" have been in certain places (that can't be mentioned here) for at least a month beforehand

Google "DOD (Drink or Die) and you'll know that I know full well what I'm talking about  ;)

If thats aimed at me (or any of the other admins for that matter), I've particularly sensitive to such activity at the moment due to recent events that nearly took down a few sites, including OOF. And I'm not just talking the usual ISP sent cease and desists for being caught by copyright owners using p2p either.


I'm sure anyone with the intelligence can find plenty of other places on the net more suitable for discussing such things, but sorry, that place ain't here.  We are here for Omegas, lets not forget that :)
