Thread starter craigdoepie Start date Jul 17, Joined Oct 4, Messages 1, I am not sure where to post this, but it has been happening recently that I download rar files via Grabit, it shows that it downloads and creates the folder, but certain files just disappear or doesn't download at all.

Normally you would use a NewsReader such as Agent. Grabit isn't such an animal, it does what it says, it grabs articles from newsservers. Sponsored by BoysStuff. Grabit By Ian Urie I'm probably preaching to the converted here Grabit is for Windows based computers but runs quite happily , as you can see, using an emulator on other OS'es. To get Grabit, simply click the title of the article and it will take you to their webpage.

Above you can see Grabit running and displaying the contents of a binary newsgroup. Grabit is free to use, and Shemes the company who owns Grabit hope to get money from people using Newsgroups by incorporating their Grabit Usenet search engine.

I'll assume that everyone has downloaded and installed the software. Setting it up is extremely simple. Fill in the details of the newsserver of your internet provider, set the port usually , put in your username and password if you need them to access your server and then right click on your default newserver and select full update of groups.

Grabit will then download the list of groups your newserver provides. You'll probably find that most of the popular cheap and cheerful ISP's only provide the text groups and a very few binary groups. If you decide newsgroups are interesting enough, there are an awful lot of Usenet providers out there eager to take your money. Most of these will have limits on how much you can download and at what speed, and how comprehensive a list of groups they provide.

Another thing to watch out for is the retention rate they have on the groups. You will pay more for higher retention levels. Retention levels mean how long the provider keeps the article on its server. Mine guarantees retention rates of 3 days! Instead of downloading a large amount of headers, GrabIt allows you to just go to a group and browse the contents without downloading headers!
