ok, so i have an acct on giganews, and i just purchased newsbin

i searched newzleech for the .nzb's I want, now what? can someone give me a retard proof walkthru from here? I think I came a decent way on my own, but I sure could use some advice on how to use newsbin and everything else. :whistling

THanks,

Since you already bought Newsbin you can forget about Grabit. Grabit is nice but I think Newsbin is more "proffesional" :P

You can set up newsbin to download new posts periodically but I don't think you can get it to check the news server for new posts and then download them auto.

I usually post something and request at the same time but you might want to check out #alt.binaries.tvseries, #alt.binaries.games etc. on EFnet. You can request stuff there.

Here's some lists of request and fills (and some more info):

awesome, thanks for all your help

one tinyyy last question, when I am looking through headers I sometimes see responses to posts, or something like that, how can I read them?

It doesnt let me download them for some reason -- they are usually under 10kb

i double click it and it goes straight to failed files :unsure:

If you just want to read it without downloading you can right click the post and select read post body or whatever it is called.

I think you can get newsbin to download the posts as txt files too but I don't remember how.
