Re: Talk to me about EasyNews
Dudes - AWESOME replies. I really want to figure this out now. I get the message about RAR files and needing to read slyck.com about 20 times too  .
Waldo - I appreciate big-time your patient and well-constructed explanation (complete with pictures for the newsgroup-challenged ). I've got learning to do, but those fundamentals you just shared are critical to understand whats happening and what the heck I'm looking at. I DID go to the newsgroups FAQ offered here, so between that, slyck.com, and your posts I sure better be able to figure this out.
Once again - I was highly impressed with the speed of downloads. I downloaded what I now believe was just one piece of a movie file (.avi.001) and of course I got about 48 MB incredibly quickly. Now I figure the file was a RAR type file (in pieces) because it wouldn't play in WMP (got some error about a codec) and had the .001 suffix. I don't know where the rest of the movie is, but now I think I might be able to find it based on your NZB explanation!
I'm sure I will have specific questions re: the process for downloading movie files, stitching them back together, and perhaps ultimately burning them to DVD. Methinks I want to finally pull the trigger on the DVD-RW purchase from Newegg  . If you can't already tell, I tend to be a late adopter of technology. Heck I just coverted from dialup a month or two ago. THANKS AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!! |
