You pay for a premium newserver for the rentention. Roadrunner has a 2 or 3 day max on the major groups. For instance, alt.binaries.dvdr - try and grab something that was posted a week ago. You can't.

I get the crappy retention if I use a newsreader to try and download but if I have the nzb I get about 100 days even for the big groups. I think the server only allows you to download headers that go a few days back. I'm in San Antonio and I max my bandwidth even with 1 connection, 10mbit.

Time Warner is testing a pay for amount of download. They are running trials in Beaumont.. I hope they never use that.. i leech 1TB+ every month..

You can browse the group without downloading headers or subscribing. Just use an index search engine like binsearch.info.

Use "browse newsgroups" and you can look at what's availbale in the group, create your own nzb and download what you like.
 
20 connections! WHAT THE FUCK!

Not that I don't believe you but I'm going to dig around a little and see if I can find any info on this. I can only get 4 and if I try anymore they always fail. :( I'm sure if I had at least 8 I could max out my connection.
 
To get started Google WinRaR and download it.(it's like Winzip)

Download "Grabit" newsgroup browser

For the server in Grabit use:(news-server.socal.rr.com) or can use other RR servers across USA-Google for them

"subscribe" (it's free) to an alt.binaries group in Grabit(select one with mp3 in name). there's one with "completecd" in name -that's good.

Setup Grabit for 10-20 connections.

join "Merlins Portal" (google it)

you can then in Merlins(select NZB section) and browse or search, hit "download now"
It will come up with dialog box to open with WinRaR-select "ok"--Another box will come up double-click the NZB file-it will launch Grabit and throw files associated with that NZB into Grabit and start downloading them-see batch tab in Grabit.
This took me about 10 days to figure out.
Google any questions you have--"what is a NZB file", etc.
Let us know how it goes.
There are many ways to get to newsgroups, this is just one way and one program-there are many.
 
Hello guys, I live in NYC , manhattan and I have road runner cable service.

http://www.dslreports.com/faq/11264 you're right about the address. And you probably need an id and password, which will be the same one for your email address for roadrunner, if there even if one...In my case with verizon dsl i don't need id or password to connect to the internet, but if I would chose to install their programs it also signs you up or logs you in.

If you get it working, can you post back your success, such as oldest files on servers and the speeds your getting...at the moment i get speeds ranging form 80-340kb/s ( which i guess depends on server load, and retention is only 9 days...So if RR has better newsgroups I'd wanna switch right away.
 
It's called "Extreme" (which I have) in my area and that's the absolute fastest tier that can be had at the present moment. Clearly every market is different.
 
Ok , I tryied the server , but with no username and paasford and my speed decresed a lot in compoarison with my pay premium server.

With free rr , I get 75kBps
with pay server I get 399 KBps and much more

I was wondering what are the speed of the other rr user

thank u

I checked it out in my area this morning. For an additional $9.95/month I could upgrade to a 10Mbps/1Mbps connection.

Once on the phone though, I discovered that it was a special they were offering customers who also had digital phone service (which I don't). I still could have gotten the connection, but it would cost me $89/month. :pinch:
