Where do you download legal stuff from?

Filed under: Uncategorized — george @ 9:56 pm

Hey everyone, end of term is almost here. I am still writing reports, it sucks :( To reply to a comon question i receive from people i download things from 2 main sources, bittorrent and binary newsgroups. If you want to find out what they are then this is not the place for you. I only download legal software or trial versions. If you like something and you can afford to buy it then do so.

Useful links for bittorrent are:

  • http://www.mininova.org/
  • http://www.torrentspy.com/
  • http://thepiratebay.org/
  • http://www.bitsoup.org/

As for binary newsgroups, first check if your ISP offers them for free. If not http://www.newshosting.com/ is a usenet newsgroups provider. It does good deals for the unlimited packages. Remember guys, downloads are full spead. It is worth it. Now you need to get your hands on a good client. There are a few binary newsgroup clients that are opensource, so you dont have to pay for them. They can probably open .nzb files, which are an idea of http://www.newzbin.com/ . Ofcourse you will need to pay for them, but use that webpage as a source for finding out what is in the newsgroups. Now there are a few pages that help you create your nzb files such as

  • http://www.binsearch.info/
  • http://beta.binaries.nl/

You can also pay for an amazing client: Newsleecher. Google it up, it doesnt cost much and it will save you the time to look for nzb files as the guys who designed it provide you with a search engine that you need to pay for though. But its not much and its worth it.

One last thing about newsgroups are PAR files. if you go to http://www.quickpar.org.uk/ you will find a client that will help you use these amazing files. Read the webpage to find out more. Oh and if you really want to find out more about newsgroups http://www.slyck.com/ng.php is a good page to start with.

Well this is it for now, please leave me any comments or corrections :)

A few words…

Its a bit late and I am trying to write some reports, this is not exactly something I like to do but oh well, i have to. I added a new theme since my own creation looked a bit like Frankenstein’s website perhaps. I will modify it in time a bit to make it a bit more mine :) or I might find the time at some point to design one.

I thought this will be a good time to say a few things about this blog. It is a place where i intent to express my self and what I think about things. I will also write a few things I discover from time to time and I think are important enough to be posted here. I believe knowledge does not belong to one person, but every person is a carrier of it and has the responsibility to share it with others. It belongs to the public domain.

My spelling sucks, and although I wanted to write in Greek (where my spelling is even worse), my 1st language, some of my friends do not speak Greek so English it will be.

If there is something you want me to write about just email me and let me know.

Well that’s about it for now :)
