Hello Evilzone,
Seeing as I haven't yet made a tutorial on here, I wanted to make something which isn't already on here, and something that people may benefit from.


So firstly, I always see and hear in the media about the government trying to control piracy, in the UK, we've been struck on hard, not only is just about every ISP blocking Sweden's Pirate Bay but now you'll be put on a list.


Sure enough, you can't go wrong with getting free movies, but there are some great alternatives out there at a very small price.


After all, if you're trying to evade TPB, most likely you'd use a high speed Virtual Private Network. (I know I use one to evade ISP blocks)


------
Today I'll be talking about Usenet.

What is usenet?

Usenet is a worldwide distributed Internet discussion system. It was developed from the general purpose UUCP architecture of the same name.
Duke University graduate students Tom Truscott and Jim Ellis conceived the idea in 1979 and it was established in 1980.[1]Users read and post messages (called articles or posts, and collectively termed news) to one or more categories, known asnewsgroups. Usenet resembles a bulletin board system (BBS) in many respects, and is the precursor to the various Internet forums that are widely used today. Usenet can be superficially regarded as a hybrid between email and web forums. Discussions are threaded, with modern news reader software, as with web forums and BBSes, though posts are stored on the server sequentially.

Sums it up quite easy.
Now I may be ranting on a little and I'm sure you'll want to know what you will need in order to start downloading content.


1. A Newsreader.
2. A Newzbin Website.
3. PyParity.
4. A Brain.


Because I run a Linux system, my option of a powerfull newsreader is "Pan"
So I run the command..

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install pan

Now comes the Newzbin website, there are a lot out there but the best IMO is

Code: [Select]

www.nzbmatrix.com

I Highly recommend VIP on nzbMatrix, due to the fact it allows longer 'Retention'
And other lovely surprises.


Retention is the date that a newzbin file has been stored on the server, the longer the Retention the older the file, so the more retention you have, the more you'll be able to download!


You'll also be needing a Usenet provider, you use 'Pan' to connect to the Usenet provider to download from NZBMatrix. Sounds complicated?
It really isn't, it just makes practice & practice makes perfect.


It's really easy, honest.
My personal favourite Usenet Provider is

Code: [Select]

www.giganews.com

Ok so you got everything you need? & you want to start? Ok good.


Start up Pan, and you'll need to fill out the details for the server (I'll use Giganews)

Code: [Select]

Server: news.giganews.com
Port: 119
Username: Giganews E-mail address.
Password: Giganews Password.


The rest can be left as default.
Allow 2 minutes for the newz to download and we're ready.


Head over to NZBMatrix, choose a file > Go to Pan > File > Import NZB File > Choose your file > Choose a location where you want the files downloaded to.


Done.
So that's all there is to know really.. apart from one thing.


Usenet uses "Parity" files, they're needed with the main zip/rar files in case of breakage, the parity files 'Fix' the archives for a successful unrar.

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install pyparAfter each file you download from NZBMatrix, run the par files through pypar, repair them all and extract.


I wanted to keep this brief so I hope everything is understood.
Hope you guys like!
Warm regards 

P.s Sorry if some of this info is wrong, I will correct if need be.

I'm not too familar with UseNet, but if I'm commiting piracy, I wouldn't even concider the notion of using a service that you pay for to download content illegally. I feel no matter how hard you try, you still leave a paper trail. Although I also DO NOT use public trackers because of all the anti piracy outfits crawling and harvesting. Private trackers are 100% free, fast, with much better retention then any usenet server

Ftp or http are the safest ways to download movies/apps!

Thanks for taking the time to write this though!

nobody should ever, ever be paying for usenet access - you should only pay for an ACTUAL ISP and not a telco - which is how the bulk of people in the west get their net connections.
