    Under all the posts on audioz there is an option for usenet. I signed up but its looking as if it was just an advertisement because the links don't actually take you to the supposed download. They just take you to the sign up page. Am i missing something?

    I am just trying to find a way to get what I need consistently without the wait times of the file hosts

    yes its just an advert, and to be honest stay well away from usenet, its a lot easier to add extra stuff you don't want to catch, if you are bothered about slow download speeds you really need to put your hand in your pocket and pay for a subscription for a month or two with the file sharing providers

    Greetz,

    Here is a good Usenet Source that We use Occasionally:
    http://www.newshosting.com
    They have reasonable pricing, an easy 2 Use NewsGroup App, & good retention rate.

    We Do Agree with SillySausage, There R Some What We Call Evil Hackers & Or Virus Posters In The Usenet World. So B Very, Very, Very Careful.

    Hope This Helps.

    its an advert, well usenet is really slow and never has the actual things you are looking for.
    i used some free account in the past to get really rare release from it, was surprised it worked for that. speed is really fast, but thats all.

    sometimes also lots of older releases or post in the usenet are broken or just not full available anymore.
    dont know how they can label usenet that way, but it is almost a fraud, how they lay down those ads.

    Yes Usenet is also full of Virus, Worm or malware posts, which are hard to determine.

    anyway i would rather use Uploaded or anything cyber locker based as usenet.
