    So I just learned about this site and really torrenting in general, ive been trying to test out some plugins by just downloading the free (mac) download links. But im just getting .RAR downloads. never the actual plugin. Am i doing something wrong or do i have to get Usenet.nl?

    Also how shady is usenet? im hearing bad things online, like being charged twice, not being able to cancel, i want to buy the monthly subscription but thats not even an option given when signing up.

    Hi Jack,
    Dunno about the other stuff but a RAR is just a compressed file like a ZIP but with better compression ratios, to extract files from the RAR archive you'll need a program like this.

    zip files automatically unpack just by clicking on them on my mac, but i dont trust these downloads, do you use the free links?

    Here dl and install first...

    https://rapidgator.net/file/76c99eb....html?referer=http://peeplink.in/bfb6836fa050

    If when your dl,ing you get a warning from firefox as i did..
    Dont worry and let it thru..

    i Had Usenet for the free month trial and its ludicrously fast!

    But i couldnt find the correct newsreader software to find anything to do with an audioz release....

    I hate those stupid usenel links at the bottom of those peeplinks coz theyre useless!

    They say to join em and when you do youd expect to then see what you were trying to download after joining right!
    Nope wrong ...
    For me anyway...
    Couldnt find not one release i was looking for And most times would end up settling for an older version....
    Is this just me btw coz i truly found it to be excellent if you could actually find what you were piggin well looking for!

    And shite otherwise!
    So went bk to using rg...
    Oh and oboom ... accept for somethn silly big like say 20 gig or somethn..
    Which pretty much Negates the need for an acc
