- ScottDaMan, on 05/29/2008, -7/+89Nothing to see here people, move along to your torrents please.
- WiseWeasel, on 05/29/2008, -5/+72As usenet explodes in popularity? Usenet has been around about as long as the internet has, and if it hasn't blown up by now, it's not going to. It's much too convoluted for most typical users, and it's not going to ever be all that popular except for the most geeky.
Stop throwing out names for alternative sites. The first rule of usenet is that we do not speak of usenet (mostly because it's too much of a pain to explain, but that's besides the point)... - netburnr, on 05/29/2008, -1/+52Welcome to the 90s MPAA.
- Devilboy666, on 05/29/2008, -3/+46I guess it was just a matter of time. Too many people breaking rules 1 and 2 of usenet
- guillebravo6, on 05/28/2008, -8/+44dugg, torrent freak has great industry news!
- SadMartigan, on 11/25/2008, -1/+35"just when I get into usenet"
Didn't you make sure no one was following you.
I blame you for all of this. - EXTER, on 05/29/2008, -11/+43██████░██░░░░██░░░████░██░░░░██░░

- vfreak2, on 05/28/2008, -7/+29Great, just when I get into usenet and discover its wonders, the leading nzb indexing site gets harrassed. At least many other (and free-service) ones are becoming very good anyway. Like newzleech.com. Still, nothing is like Newzbin.
Unfortunately, as usenet explodes with popularity I guess it will get more attention from the MAFIAA. The good thing is, you will NEVER be able to be identified if you only download files, and those who upload usually know how to protect themselves pretty well.
And I hope, as it does get more popular, other great nzb sites will spring up if Newzbin goes awry. - wigginz, on 05/29/2008, -5/+25Nooooo!!!!! Who told them???? We've been operating quietly under the radar for 10 years and now they figure us out? Someone must have snitched...
- username9000, on 05/29/2008, -11/+30bury this.
- hartley, on 05/29/2008, -1/+18Remember kids, download your warez directly from your free isp provided news server. I would love to get a C&D letter from my ISP for downloading content from THEIR servers.
- Professr, on 05/29/2008, -0/+16YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG
- payrow, on 05/29/2008, -8/+23DO NOT DIGG THIS - BURY IT.
- tdkyo, on 05/29/2008, -1/+15"The site, which was the creator of Usenet’s answer to the .torrent file,"
Buried as inaccurate (description). Newzbin has been around much longer than Bittorrent. - ProjectRice, on 05/29/2008, -5/+19Well said
Besides we need the noobs to get caught using ***** protocols to take the heat off us
How I miss kazaa kiddies getting caught - PainToad, on 05/29/2008, -17/+29This is old news. Go back to suprnova TorrentFreak
The last thing UseNet needs is a bunch of Torrent noobs learning bout nzbs - dubloe7, on 05/29/2008, -0/+11I think you mean 70's
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usenet
usenet actually predates the internet by several years. - gabacho2, on 05/29/2008, -5/+16Rule 1 of Usenet...
- dubloe7, on 05/29/2008, -0/+10http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet#Creation
The first TCP/IP-wide area network was made operational by January 1, 1983 when all hosts on the ARPANET were switched over from the older NCP protocols to TCP/IP.
I looked it up before I posted, I didn't feel the need to post my entire train of thought along with it, do you need to know that at some point during typing this post I felt like eating bacon? - dubloe7, on 05/29/2008, -0/+10'and I always start with.. keep this to yourself!'
ironically while breaking that rule... - inactive, on 05/29/2008, -0/+9The bigger laugh is that usenet is older than the world wide web and yet teenagers think its the Internet's best kept secret.
alt.get.a.clue.bin - NoVABaller, on 05/29/2008, -1/+10If you are doing it, it's clearly not "under the radar". Get a clue, usenet is no secret taboo entity.
- virtualball, on 05/29/2008, -6/+15First rule about Usenet.....
- Lososaurus, on 05/29/2008, -3/+11And don't forget to seed!
- SquigglyP, on 05/29/2008, -1/+9TCP/IP will be the next to go.
wtf, lets just shut down the whole ***** internet for these movie studio retards. I can't wait for the law that prevents any sort of networking on the off chance that connecting two computers together will result in massive copyright infringement. When will someone grow a backbone and tell these assclowns to go ***** themselves. Torrents are not illegal. NBZ's are not illegal. Usenet is not illegal. File sharing is not illegal. Yet they fight and fight and fight until these services are shut down. WTF is wrong with the people in congress who are sitting idly by and allowing these ***** to so completely ass-rape our judicial system with this *****? - NoVABaller, on 05/29/2008, -1/+910 years? You know NOTHING STFU and read, don't write.
- AngelBunny, on 05/29/2008, -0/+7actually not talking about sites do help especially when it comes to top sites.
- Clugenheim, on 05/29/2008, -9/+16HAVE SEX WITH THE MPAA!
- Aensland, on 05/29/2008, -1/+8I'd like to hear any news about the p2p/downloading scene, not just on torrents.
- acidbathfan, on 05/29/2008, -1/+8I heard there's a bill before congress that will require every american to be chained to a theatre seat while the ushers rummage through our wallets for increased profits, it's really not that bad when you think about it; staring into a flash light for an hour and a half can be quite the spiritual experience..........step in to the light.
- outlaw686, on 05/29/2008, -2/+9Pelt the MPAA buildings with gone bad sausage
- harris, on 05/29/2008, -0/+7Actually, the news is wrong. Newzbin was threatened by the MPA not the MPAA. MPA is the international version of the MPAA -- two separate organizations.
- FDL1, on 05/29/2008, -4/+11Newzbin inventing the NZB format was great and all, but does anyone really pay for NZB files anymore?
- NoVABaller, on 05/29/2008, -1/+7You can't do this now? ***** IDIOT!
- eviltandem, on 05/29/2008, -0/+6er... that's because nobody talks about it moron...
Walk down the street and ask any random person what napster or kazaa is, and most of them know. I'm as of yet to meet the non-geek that doesn't stare at me like a deer in headlights when you say something about that-which-shall-not-be-named.
As long as the thing stays quiet and small then there's just no upside to going after it. It would cost more to attack than it is costing to just leave it alone. If it gets big and well known, then there is reason to pay attention to it.
If napster had had 2 users on it, then there would have been no real upside to suing them out of existence. Spend hundreds of thousands, or millions, to recover maybe a few hundred dollars? - mrogi, on 05/29/2008, -4/+10If the MPAA ever shuts down Giganews...the terrorists have won.
- jp12380, on 05/29/2008, -0/+6It's the American way for corporations with lots of money to buy off people we elect into office.
- kingatrock, on 05/29/2008, -5/+11I'm glad I'm not alone in this thinking. Um.. Torrents rule everybody i mean.. they pwn!
- Aensland, on 05/29/2008, -1/+6The idiots digging you down clearly think that by using usenet they're part of a special untouchable cult.
- xevidentx, on 05/29/2008, -1/+6mpaa sucks. make better movies plz
- atb12688, on 05/29/2008, -1/+6This is industry news, but this is a paid service. And while it is unfortunate to see the MPAA go in this direction, .torrents are so much more significant. It doesn't hit home with this community unless it is in that realm. Taking away something that is free hurts so much more.
- jo21, on 05/29/2008, -1/+5anal sex with mpaa
- dubloe7, on 05/29/2008, -0/+4as would I, but unfortunately most ISP run usenet services either don't offer binary newsgroups, or have a binary retention of only a few days.
- Jenadae, on 05/29/2008, -2/+6Please.
- thrallie, on 05/29/2008, -1/+5This is not even close to the end of Usenet. Its a protocol that will never be banned as it has a legitimate use. I find out computer answers all the time using it, and I also get to download binaries. But there is no way to track someones downloading habits on Usenet unless you are on there computer. So no one here needs to worry about it. I never used Newzbin and never will, as I don't need to pay for an NZB site with tons of free ones out there.
Stop making it seem like the end. Everyone acted like this when suprnova went down too. - formergthing, on 05/29/2008, -0/+4don't worry sir, operation mayhem is under control.
- eviltandem, on 05/29/2008, -0/+4last i checked distribution, not downloading, was illegal.
- eviltandem, on 05/29/2008, -1/+5apparently someone broke it...
- shawnanigans, on 05/29/2008, -0/+3Could it be every NFO?
