I'm using GrabIt and I have alt.bin newsgroups.

Thank you

I want to download more than just tv shows.
Sure no problem. That was an example (like I said). More nzb sites that have been recommended in the past:
»[Newsgroups] Finding Things on Usenet

but I got outlook express with 12,000 newsgroups and I want to use them.
Outlook Express ain't going to get you video files. And unless some those 12,000 groups include alt.bin groups, you're doubly out of luck.

Outlook Express will not be of great use to you beyond the simple discussion groups. You may want to check out GrabIt or AltBinz.

Hey, I'm new too. I have 12,000 newsgroups offered to me by my ISP but I don't know which one to choose. Could someone help me out here?
Newsgroups are dependent on personal interest. Who is your ISP? They may be only text / discussion groups.
My ISP is shaw. I'm pretty sure I don't have to pay to download stuff; in Canada we have rights. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Newsgroups-Thinking-about-jumping-on-newsgroup-bandwagon-23307912 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 20:34:07 EDT Re: [Newsgroups] Thinking about jumping on newsgroup bandwagon http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Newsgroups-Thinking-about-jumping-on-newsgroup-bandwagon-23307901 said by jimbojonesBC:

Here are some good $10/mo. unlimited options without having to weed through all the services :)

Astraweb - $11/mo.
Supernews - $9.99/mo.
UseNetServer - $10/mo.

Also as darcilicious mentions the Astraweb block accounts are a good choice. It really depends on how much you think you'll download each month.

Also, if you pay for a full year in advance, Astraweb is $8/month: »DIRECT link to Astraweb's $96/year special I've used them for over a year now and they have gone down once and were back up in less than a day.

It's hilarious when I read posts about purchasing usenet access by Shaw users, when it's absolutely free for us. What's so hilarious about going with a third party provider (TPP)?

Not only are TPPs faster and have both vastly higher retention AND completion rates, using a third party news service allows some ISPs' users to fly under the "bandwidth cap radar".]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Newsgroups-Thinking-about-jumping-on-newsgroup-bandwagon-23296611 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 13:29:33 EDT Re: [Newsgroups] Thinking about jumping on newsgroup bandwagon http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Newsgroups-Thinking-about-jumping-on-newsgroup-bandwagon-23296522 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Newsgroups-Thinking-about-jumping-on-newsgroup-bandwagon-23296522 Thu, 05 Nov 2009 13:16:18 EDT Re: [Newsgroups] Thinking about jumping on newsgroup bandwagon http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Newsgroups-Thinking-about-jumping-on-newsgroup-bandwagon-23294697 said by amd7674:

I'm total newby, current torrent/eMule user. Can someone plz point me to a good FAQ about newsgroups? Also I was on this site '»www.newsgroupreviews.com/' , but number of the sites you can sign on with it is overwhelming for me :huh: . I've seen some sites offering free trials, which ones are good/safe/'easy to use' ones to try?

I wouldn't mind paying $10/month for a good 'no-BS' easy to use for newbs newsgroup service. ;)
To avoid frustration avoid highwinds/highwinds resellers

astraweb, usenetnow and giganews are good.

the highest package you can get gives you 150GB. I have a 6meg dsl line with AT&T and used almost 250 last month. My connection runs me $35US/mo, how much do you pay for service that includes usenet?

I can recommend Astraweb -- I think there's a $11/mo package; I use the block package (180GB for $25 I think it is).
