Can someone please explain to me how Newsgroups works?

Do I pay a certain amount monthly and get fast download speeds for games and such?

And OzModChips is a great site.

Ok, the deal with newsgroups goes a little like this:

1. You sign up with a binary usenet provider like Supernews or Giganews, usually for about $10-15 a month depending on how much data you want to download
2. Set it up in a binary newsreader (Newsleecher is good under Windows)
3. Find what you want to download with a binary search site, Google knows of plenty

Download a NZB file (which is much like a torrent file, just tells the news reader where to get the data)
4. Load the NZB in your newsreader and let it run
5. Profit!!

You can also find files without using a NZB reader, but it's a little more difficult.

Edit: also no problems with ozmodchips here.. my D2CKey is still running like a charm

I was lucky and found them open after trying every day for hald a year.

My internet is only 768kbs so I can easily max out at 85KB.

Takes about a day for a 4gb DVD.

Ok thanks for explaining.

So what site should I go to that has the cheapest prices? Im a newbie ehre and only found out about Newsgroups.. well like an hour ago.

After I sign up, care to link me to where to go next? Im not as smart as you people when it comes to downloading games super fast. I just buy my Wii games from a pirater (if thats what they're called) for a few dollars. Heh.

I'm not sure where the cheapest prices are - my ISP (Internode) provides a binary usenet server for free

After you find one, grab a newsreader (you can get a trial of Newsleecher here). Then just google for a binary usenet search engine. I can tell you now though Brawl won't come up on any of them yet. (Well, not the Wiizard release at least - the IGB one is showing up for me, but it sounds way too fishy...)

That seems a little complicated. Thanks for explaining but I think Ill just stick to buying Wii Games for 6 bucks. If you do the math, me downloading so many GBs costs more then 6 bucks anyway on my monthly usage fee.

Heh.

ozmodchips? I got an R4 from there and the service was crap!!!... It took a month for it to finally come!.. Being currently out of stock may have had somthing to do with it, but its the principle!

So ordering a out of stock item (an item on pre-order status) means you get it right away? Sounds like you are a bit of a pleb.

You actually sound like one of those customers that write order comments like 'PLEASE SEND ASAP I NEED THIS RIGHT NOW!!!', and then choose the cheapest and slowest postal option because your single mum is paying for it and spent most of her money at the pub trying to find a guy that will ignore the cigarette burns all over her body, and just love her for 'who I am'

A bit over the top, but we don't like to be rubbished

Slightly off topic but www.Hitnews.eu offer 1 months newsgroup access for 6.50 euros with no d/l limit and 100 day retention. Been using them for a bout 6 months now and no problems.

Holy shit, that was AWESOME. Sounds like the sort of thing I would say IRL.
That is worth at least 50 points.

I hold OzModChips in high regards, it's a great store (I am Australian myself though, bias, bias!
