<title>ok so bintube newsreader is actually pretty damn cool</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22653006</link>
<description><![CDATA[I've been using bin tube for a few days now and I actually really like it.

The process that I use is a bit excessive but I think it's quicker than using a web browser based indexer

I open newsleecher and bintube at the same time. I go into newsleecher and use super search to find what I need ( I really like supersearch, by far my fav way to get files just because of the speed, and I find binsearch.info doesn't bring up a lot of results if you put in say, "simpson 720p 02e21", while supersearch generally gets you it really fast ).

I find what I want, then I download the single .nzb file. I have bintube set up to auto download .nzb files in the folder that newsleecher downloads to, bintube then moves the .nzb file so it doesn't redownload when you start it next time.

After about a minute of downloading, bintube starts to play the video file and it downloads faster than I can watch the 720p content so no buffering issues. 

I've only used it for a few days, and haven't used it enough to see if there are bugs with certain files so I am going to wait to decide if I want to buy it.

Anyways i'd say on average from the moment I decide that I want to watch say season 2, episode 18 of venture brothers in 720p, it's about a minute and a half from deciding to watch it to having it streamed on my television. For dvd -> tv it's about 2 1/2 mins. Overall it's a pretty neat addition to my usenet setup 

If there was a way to integrate supersearch into bintube, it'd be rad.]]></description>

<title>[Newsgroups] Best Usenet Server for the money?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22541419</link>
<description><![CDATA[Ok I am considering jumping in to usenet. I know this question has been asked a million times, but things change so fast the answers to the old ones don't really apply to today.

My criteria is I don't need just a massive amount of downloads per month. I just want to be able to download a few files here and there.(Ex. My cable provider tends to mess up some time, so I might want to download some missed episodes etc.) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

<title>[Newsgroups] To those who don&#x27;t want to pay a full year in advan</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22654194</link>
<description><![CDATA[Not trying to water down Astrawebs deal at all, however the amount of folks who were interested in pre-paying for a longer period with there deal, but didn't/ couldn't due to any number of reasons, for a full year.....We were matching the price for those who asked, and only asking for 6 months pre-pay, instead of a year.  It got to be a pain doing the customized invoicing / accounting for each user that asked...So we will make the offer public for a limited time!

Again, this is more aimed at those who couldnt come up with the cash, or didnt feel comfortable paying so much up front.  By the looks of discussions on the web, there are quite a few who feel this way.....Why not cash in on that, right?  :D

The offer is displayed right on our homepage. http://usenetnow.net

<title>[Newsgroups] Free Usenet Server - 1 week - 200 days ret.</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22634406</link>
<description><![CDATA[ said by CheaperNewsAdmin :We just turned on a new bank of servers and are hoping to push 10-20
gigabits of test traffic this week.  These servers have 200 days of
articles, both binaries and text.

Please give us a hand by testing things out -

The server is:

stresstest.cheapernews.com

No username/password is required.

SSL is enabled and you should be able to make at least 20 connections
per host.

Sorry, we don't support posting.

We may have a few few-minute outages during the course of the week as
we try different server and/or load balancer configurations, but our plan
is to keep the service up until and through July 4th.

Thanks for helping us out!

<title>Send Movie File</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22644932</link>
<description><![CDATA[With my digital camera, I filmed a short movie (.mov file) recently at a family party.  Later, I copied the movie file to my PC.

My PC runs under Windows XP Home SP2.

I would like to email the file to a relative, but it's too big as an attachment (142 MB).
 
How can I get it to him, over the Internet?
 
Thank you. ]]></description>

<title>The Pirate Bay gets bought out</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,22632540</link>
<description><![CDATA[http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/06/30/swedish-software-firm-acquires-the-pirate-bay-for-77-million/

    quote:Swedish software firm Global Gaming Factory X this morning announced it has agreed to buy file-sharing service The Pirate Bay for 60 million Swedish crowns (which currently converts to approx. $7.7 million). In addition, GGF has entered into an agreement to acquire the shares in Peerialism, a software technology company that develops solutions for data distribution and distributed storage based on new p2p technology.

The transaction is scheduled to be closed in August 2009.

Update: The Pirate Bay has confirmed the news (see their commentary below).

Last April, the founders of The Pirate Bay were sentenced to one year in jail and a fine of $3.6 million for running the site, which is one of the world largest for downloading files on the Internet (one of the 100 most visited websites in the world according to the press release). The case had been brought on by a number of groups from the music and movie industry.

For that reason, GGF has stated that The Pirate Bay requires a new business model, which &#147;satisfies the requirements and needs of all parties, content providers, broadband operators, end users, and the judiciary.&#148;

Global Gaming Chief Executive Hans Pandeya didn&#146;t give a lot of detail about what type of business model it has planned for the file-sharing service, and only said:

    &#147;We would like to introduce models which entail that content providers and copyright owners get paid for content that is downloaded via the site.&#148;

Confirmed from Pirate Bay: http://thepiratebay.org/blog/164

    quote:Yes, it's true.

News reached the press today in Sweden - The Pirate Bay might get aquired by Global Gaming Factory X AB.

A lot of people are worried. We're not and you shouldn't be either!

TPB is being sold for a great bit underneath it's value if the money would be the interesting part. It's not. The interesting thing is that the right people with the right attitude and possibilities keep running the site.
As all of you know, there's not been much news on the site for the past two-three years. It's the same site essentially. On the internets, stuff dies if it doesn't evolve. We don't want that to happen.

We've been working on this project for many years. It's time to invite more people into the project, in a way that is secure and safe for everybody. We need that, or the site will die. And letting TPB die is the last thing that is allowed to happen!

If the new owners will screw around with the site, nobody will keep using it. That's the biggest insurance one can have that the site will be run in the way that we all want to. And - you can now not only share files but shares with people. Everybody can indeed be the owner of The Pirate Bay now. That's awesome and will take the heat of us.

The old crew is still around in different ways. We will also not stop being active in the politics of the internets - quite the opposite. Now we're fueling up for going into the next gear. TPB will have economical muscles to let people evolve it. It will team up with great technicians to evolve the protocols. And we, the people interested in more than just technology, will have the time to focus on that. It's win-win-win.

The profits from the sale will go into a foundation that is going to help with projects about freedom of speech, freedom of information and the openess of the nets. I hope everybody will help out in that and realize that this is the best option for all. Don't worry - be happy!

lol- aren't they full of shit. I wouldn't call it "freedom" if the new owners will be charging. :huh: TPB: RIP]]></description>
