Those are Disc Image Files... but from a different program... (VCDImager)

Install IMGBurn... and you should be able to read them and burn them...

Thanks, unfortunatly my blended is finished so I'll not be able to get IMGburn but thanks for the help. will I be able to somehow make the files .iso
 
I've had that before and could not mount the .img file with Daemon Tools. But then I used the .cue file and that loaded the .img file onto my virtual drive.

Try that. Maybe I was lucky.

Yes, you can supposedly convert them using MagicISO... (But it is not Free Software)

Here is a local link for IMGBurn...

thanks, but when i click on it it does nothing, I'm a complete noob so I think I must be doing something wrong. Will keep trying though.
 
If you have a http://www.nzbsrus.com/ account. They have premium account now on special. You pay with sms.
The total cost is R90 for a lifetime premium account. And you get a code smsed to you. I just got myself a VIP membership.
Newshost doesn't host all the NZB so its nice for the users that actually use the site. R90 not that bad actually. :-) Just a tip.
 
IS news problem

Hey, been using the news.saix server for a while now and found i could pretty much get anything i wanted off there, then i went and bought a 30 gig is local only account figuring the IS servers would be just as good.

My problem is, i can get some stuff fine, but other things just wont download and if they do i get between 3 - 5kb intermitently. but if i go back onto my saix account they download at full speed without a problem. The stuff is new (like 1 to 7 days old) but IS servers dont seem to cache it.

My question is, why is the saix server "better" than the IS server and does the IS server have selected groups is caches and if so, what are these groups? Is there some way of finding out if IS has cached a certain file from a certain group?

Any help would be grand :)
 
I only use saix to download contents, as the IS based news server are useless.

Go back to saix.
 
To save bandwidth for SAIX only download with IS when it has loads of downloads and its a new release. Cause that will mean its cached.
 
I normally get on my 4 meg line (dropped to 3 Meg due to sync problems)

about 80k to 200k a second for uncached and 325K a second for cached files.

Hi, I need some help with regards to downloading lists with news servers. I got my self a Giganews account & was adding groups then having to download the lists. First of all they seem to be very big, not sure if im missing something but It said I downloaded like 10GB of lists. The other strange part is that it said I was downloading up to speeds of 34.5 Mbps/4.3 Mbps

Trying to post a link with a screen shot, but getting the following:/ "Thank you for posting! Your post will not be visible until a moderator has approved it for posting."

what are you trying to get from the News Servers?

SAIX has one News Server for binary files and another news server for plain text posting. If you are just doing plain text then you should use the other server.

I am not sure how it works with Giganews though.... most of us only use it for Binary files. I have not downloaded a Groups list in years!... but yes they can be quite large.
