Alright where there is replies, sort by kilobytes, in other words, click on the box labeled KB. It will sort them in smallest to largest or largest to smallest. Scroll up or down and you will find the files.

Either that or just right click on one of the replies, click find and type in the name of the game you are looking for. It will send all the results to Mark List 1.

www.usenetserver.com
www.newscene.com
these are good usenet providers ....
they cost money ,but they give you also a guarantee to have what you are searching for
..the posts there are near 100% complete
they carry all the binary groups and again complete !
if you use free usenet servers ,i bet it will
be a hard work to get all the rars you need
cuze there are absolutely missing parts all the time ,the binary groups have a mass posting every day, lots of giga bytes per day ,...

and i cannot believe that any of the free usenet
servers carry them at all complete ,
it costs but you get ..so easy ....
that you only see replies ....
thats normal ..cuze they mabe do not carry the
binaries ...why should they ,who would pay their traffic then ?
if you think about that a dreamcast group
carries up to 10 days game posts ,...
thats mabe 35 gigs only
for dc games in 1! group ....
the free servers offer you mabe that reply things
and mabe mabe some binaries ,...
but a rar has mabe 87 splitted files ,....
so like testnews.execpc.com does ,they
only have scrambled binaries ,some are there some not like file 1 2 5 7 14 20 21 29 of 87
no one needs that ...
)
sign up ,you get mabe 7 servers then with t1
speed to download ,on both you can have multiple connections if you use newsbin pro
if you are in the mabe dreamcast group
(subscribed) load mabe
30000 messages thats mabe the amount of a one day post ,after that sort them for "subject"

newsbin pro shows you now all the files
and each should have mabe 19....MB
they should be all the same size
just cklick then on the little left box beside
the file ..and newsbin downloads the file
direct to a rar or whatelse it is ....

if you enable multiple connections ,it will
download as much files you choosed same time ,
that is great if you have a pretty fast connection
but the download speed is mabe limited ,....

so you can anyways download with highest speed
splitted to mabe 6 files ,.....thats great ....

checkout www.binnews.com
it shows you whats posted everyday in the usenet , per day there are mabe 5-10 games
posted ,...so if you see a game in the list
which is mabe 2 days ago ...download mabe
60000 to 80000 headers ,....it should give you
the two days then ...complete ,....
as said you pay a mabe first moment expensive prize ,but what it offers you for that ,..
you will soon understand what i mean ,...
no more ftp hunting ,etc etc ,...
its all there ,the usenet rocks )
and not only for dc ...everything is there
o -day first seen on the usenet ...movies ,games
etc etc ....
greez

muppey

if you are not from the usa check out for premium news services around your country
but first check the groups listing there if they carry them all ,a good server has a rentition
up to 10 days for binaries and a good speed
rate like usenetserver.com or newscene ...

if anyone gets pissed here now for
me posting that ,....
a commercial usenet service is a 100 %
legal thing ,what you do with that service
is everyones own thingy,...
i only talked about how it works to get
a complete binary file ,
so if you want a save copy of your original
its great to check that out
i do not support piracy in any way with that
)
its legal ..legal ...legal ....
LOL
so if the owner of this board wants to delete my
post ,do it ,....scorpion or anyone else ,....
i didnt felt like offering something illegal
with something which isnt illegal ,...
but mabe you are right ....
greez again

Another good News service is http://www.easynews.com .

Their service costs $9.98 USD per month and gives you up to 6gb of downloads a month.

With EasyNews you don't even need a newsreader to download attached files, since they extract all files from the messages and provide them on a webpage for download.

This is very convenient (and their service is also very LEGAL!)

Don't know about any of your ISPs, but Road Runner provides a news server that has all I need.

Don't think I can post the binary newsgroup I get all my complete games from, without breaking the rules. But they have a lot of uploaders and people willing to do full reposts. Though granted my current problem, with locating all the pieces parts for Hooligans Shenmue II, not as many people repost the one I need. Hell, just saw a complete reposts of SOA there a few hours back. Hell looking at it now appears to be a full reposts of Mars Matrix, Sonic Adventure 2, Resident Evil CODE: Veronica, and Matt Hoffman's Pro BMX.

Some ISPs are running scared about liability concerns in copyright infringement.

Although My ISP's original news server wasn't the greatest in the world, as they tended to roll the larger binaries groups too often to make them useful (by the time the last of 30 files was uploaded, the first one could have already been deleted), they were better than what they came up with when the converted to regional servers. Now, as the ISP's email notice states, they have removed many of the alt.binaries newsgroups because of possible copyright infringement that goes on in the groups.

Needless to say, not all ISPs will allow the alt.binaries groups without close scrutiny. BTW, my ISP is SBC (Southwestern Bell Communications, parent company of Southwestern Bell, PacBell, and several other companies).

...k i got newsgrabber and some servers...
What servers are these? do they allow binary attachments? I suggest signing up with a usenet server service, such as newscene or easynews. I have a cable modem at home, and using newsgrabber connected to newscene, I'm downloading at 5MB/s! I've also tried easynews, which I connected to at around 1.5MB/s. Anyway, I very rarely have problems with parts missing from posts, and if I do, they're reposted anyway in a day or two. I've been signed up with newscene for the past year, and I pay like $16 a month for 10GB of downloads (with no speed cap, and up to 9 connections at once). Check it out!
