Can I live without Newsleecher and SuperSearch??

hi all,

I've been using giganews and the free newsleecher and supersearch account thats tied to it since i began using newsgroups.

Recently i have got an astraweb account, with a view to cancel my giganews if Astraweb proves to be ok. $30/month is getting a bit too much to justify these days!!

But in doing so, i will lose my "free" Newsleecher and SS.

Now i'm considering dropping newsleecher if i can find another news client i like, but more importantly if i can do without supersearch.

I have used SS religiously with very little time spent on nzb sites etc, and have found it very easy to use and have got most things i want.

But. I have noticed the search only goes back 370 days, which isn't going right up to the retention on my news server.

anyway, i suppose i'm looking for your views on me finding what i want without supersearch, or should i stick with it?

I mainly download HD movies, some xvids, the odd tv series and more recently i'm looking for lossless music (flac etc) for which the supersearch has been pretty valuable.

Why don't you just grab the cracked version of Newsleecher with SS like the rest of us do

Hi Solariz,

thought of this when i first started years ago, but if my memory serves me right the supersearch was problematic back then with cracked versions.

secondly, i've always been a bit dubious about downlaoding software from newsgroups (probably down to paranoia of viruses et, and having to spend time trawling through crap)

but now you've mentioned it, i've just looked for an NZB and it seems quite a few people have been happy with it.

I'll give it a go hey??
 
Thanks again Solariz,

i've taken your advice,

be a day or 2 tho before i get round to setting it up,

thanks for the heads up!!

hope Astraweb don't let me down now!!
 
I've used a cracked .28 for a while.

The Alt.Binz homepage has said for some time now that "ALL" of the cracked versions have viruses but I don't buy that for a second. I've dealt with the Alt.Binz staff before and they remind me of the cookie-cutter, fuckwit tracker staffers.

I was the one who said that, I posted the news and then they seen the post and verified what I said.....every version is a fake pre or is pre'd but not by legit scene and are virus's, most were spread by Zerosec, was also proven, the last known good version is the one I posted, after that, they all "forum authentication" where you have to have a "alt.binz account to use the software"...
 
Can anybody point me in the direction of a SuperSearch that works? The version I downloaded just searches endlessly without finding anything.
