If anyone feels like offering corrections/updates to the guide. Feel free to post the corrections here. Also if you feel like additional screenshots are required also feel free to post links to them in the comments section. I realize that this guide isn’t fully illustrated. This is because I found out that my ISP recently discontinued UseNet on me so I couldn’t provide some of the seemingly necessary screenshots.

Yeah. I didn’t expect it and when I tried grabbing something nothing would download despite the retention. I looked it up and found out that at the most inopportune time my ISP decided to cancel it finally (as of this month ffs!

I like Grabit because of the cute Dog theme it has and the green pooch when you open it but actually I use Xnews though it’s harder to use until you learn it. Xnews though won’t do NZB as far as I know.

I use a web proxy as well as PeerGuardian for uTorrent privacy. What if any are the privacy issues related to D/Ling from Usenet?

forte agent 2.0 plus airnews usenet account for $10/month = 50GB mp3 collection in a couple months.

@Axerage – Let me put it to you this way there has never been anyone busted for downloading from UseNet that I or many UseNet users who used it for longer than I have are aware of. However some premium services offer encryption as well.

I’ve been using grabbit + Newshosting for years. Good stuff. No hassle and free encryption.
