Newsgroups ??

so i am reading more and more about newsgroups being the better option for d/l TV shows in good quality...and that tey are much faster.

problem is...i have no ideas how to do it.

i am told that most ISP's include newsgoups for free.....does netvigator have this?

im on a mac, can anyone recommend a newsgroup app and a maybe a tip on where to go for (free if possible) newsgroups

ok...o i got logged into the news.netvigator.com (which is no username/ no passwrd)

i am using unison....which seems ok. i am able to brosw easily thru videos and files and threads....

but how do i donwload a video?

when i go to a file called "Gilligans Island episode 1" i click download and it downloads 10 RAR files (each 19Kb).

obviously thats not enough for a whole episode...so.......how do i get the actual epsidoe?


also...any recommendations for HD files?

i fund www.usenet.com offers 120K groups, and charges 18.95 for 10 connections and unlimited download / upload.

is this good?
will i then be able to find HDTV episodes (not the downscaled HDTV-rips that are 350mb)?

Yeah, that's what I've been wondering for a looooong time too !

I occasionally look at HK.FORSALE to see what people are selling & sometimes input something I'd like to sell; but there are very few users there - not like 2 or 3 years ago when it was "buzzing" with adverts.

It seems to have died - rather like the multiplicity of (students) Bulletin Boards of the mid 1990's - which were snuffed out when the network co-ordinator just quit without a word, and the networks unravelled instantly.... and I, as the [unpaid] Moderator of the HKNet Buy/Sell echo was out of a job!
