hi
I'm new to newsgroups and need some help please.
ive subscribed to nextgen news and downloaded sabnzbd-ive used usenet crawler for the nab links- I'm able to download the files but when i try to extract them, they all require a password.
when i follow the links to get the password i end up at mobile subscription sites
is there another way?
 
I would suggest nzbs, newztown or nzbgrabit or similar for your content - usenet crawler is terrible imo...
Most public ones have passwords on content, of which many contain nasties. Rather try not using public sites.

A bit of a resurrection (I did not want to start a new thread for this)

But could you guys give some advise.
I have newztown and nzbsa for my nzb files.
Linked in with Astra web.

Now my problem is when I get the files down its most of the time got missing articles.
Is there a combination that works for you guys to have most of the files attached when completed.

Thank You
 
I tend to use the local servers for the under 20 day articles, and my int news provider for all older articles. Works well with minimal missing articles.

I personally had lots of issues with missing articles on Astra in the past as they seem to get the full brunt of DMCA takedowns. I moved to another provider (Usenetbucket) and I have a backup 10GB block account with Newsdemon which helps if the primary provider has missing articles.
 
Hi
I use nzbgrabit and sometimes newztown with nextgennews........seems to work for me
 
There is not much you can do if you get the missing blocks issue, other then just re downloading the file.
 
A lot of us have a monthly subscription to one nntp provider (like SuperNews) and then we have a second cheaper subscription or a "block" subscription to a second provider to fill in the gaps (I'm using UseNetBucket as the second provider).

I use nextgen news, & have also lately been getting alot of dpwnloads whereby some blocks are missing, and ive tried ur block accounts, but for some reason they never work? So I rather just mass update my sickbeard and tell it to change my 'snatched' files to 'wanted' & that usually does the trick.
 
I found the local IS nntp server is really good for current stuff (under 20 days), with very few missing blocks, whilst the paid servers lose stuff quickly these days...
