Bit Torrents & NZB Files?
Posted by John on June 1st, 2008


If you missed watching an episode of a television programme on tv, can
you download it from the internet in Bit Torrent format for free or do
you have to pay to do this? Also these NZB files that get posted on
newsgroups, how would you go about finding them for the television
programme your interested in?

Thanks,

John

it's free.
there is a good bit torrent client program you use to download them.
Called uTorrent
, so download that.

Then you just find bit torrent links, and click them.
you'd need a good bit torrent search engine

I don't normally read the computer news sites like digg, anandtech or
arstechnica or slashdot or anything.. but I did run into http://thepiratebay.org/
that is a torrent search engine.
other torrent search engine sites that come uip with a google of
torrent search are
http://isohunt.com/ , http://www.torrentscan.com/ ,
http://www.torrentz.com/

You can also try P2P apps. (not related to torrents ).
eMule, maybe limewire.. there are a few. Each may specialise in
different types of media.

Torrents tend to be good for big things like tv programs , I think. I
don't tend to use them much though.


regarding the newsgroups.. I've used xnews to download binaries it
supports it, OE or Google Groups doesn't. I don't do it often.
Apparently these nzb files are a new thing. You need a news reader
that supports it.

This website lists some that support it
(I don't really recognise these names. though i don't tend to use news
readers much)
http://www.binaries4all.com/nzb/
NewsLeecher
NewsPro (version 3.75 and higher)
NewsBin Pro (version 4.3 and higher)
NewsReactor
GrabIt (1.5.0 and higher)
Usenet Explorer
BNR2
UsenetJunkie
123Newz

xana need a plugin.. There is somebody here that says something
"beats OE and xana hands down" but I have no idea what he refer to.
Google and archive.org seem to not have it. XanaNews is fantastic,
dunno about for binary and nzb files though.
