I live in the UK and I use NTL 1MB Broadband. I am trying to use Usenet but NTL's usenet adress is not on the site anymore (removed due to a site update or summit:frusty: ) dus anyone have the adress?

Thanks
 
I wouldn't use it if i was you. It was shyte.

Off the top of my head though (might be wrong)

Server: news.ntlworld.com
User Name: Not Needed
Password: Not Needed
Port: 119
 
ntl's server will be useless as they recently removed all newsgroups todo with dvd, movies, tv and music. my friend informed me of this as he uses ntl and now has to pay for a newshosting service.
 
Interesting cos im downloading from alt.binaries.movies.divx at 240k a second with my NTL cable connection at the moment.

It isnt that bad, sure it isnt as good as a commercial news provider but then its free. I get all my movies this way and it does me fine. Its worth trying to see if it works for you.

Yep its news.cable.ntlworld.com

errm actually the ntl newsgroups are spot on, I'm downloading games and films from it constantly.

I'm using news.ntlworld.com - will news.cable.ntlworld.com have any different stuff on there?

Does anyone know whether it's better or worse?

Thanks.

Most likely little difference although although on some companys that have more than one server you can connect to both at the same time and get better speeds. There may also be slight differences like complettion or retention...
 
hey

yeah i used ntls newsgroups once to download divx movies and mp3s

is it safe?

will they find out and ban me?

btw its great max speeds and no need for a payed usenet service

all u need is the nzb file!
 
Although access records are kept, they'll see what you do only if they look at your individual records. There's no reason to think that just because you're downloading from usenet, they'll single you out amongst hundreds of thousands of other users.
