How to Use Newsgroups with Mac OSX (Super Easy!)

Step 1: Purchase Usenet Access from here: http://www.powerusenet.com/?i=YwRACOIsuE0= (There is a free trial)

Step 2: Download Unison from here: http://www.panic.com/unison/ (6 day free trial period) and configure it with your PowerUsenet access.

Step 3: Go to http://www.NZBmatrix.com and sign up. I recommend getting the VIP account so you can have full access to the website (it's only $10).

Step 4: Do a search for something you want and then click "Download NZB." Find the NZB file on your computer and open it, it should start downloading. Enjoy!

purchase my ass

@fouryearslost How much would you like to sell your ass for? I am interested in purchasing it.

You are limited to something like 20 days of results if you don't have a pro account.

Astraweb's $11 unlimited deal is a much better way to go, the retention is over 500 days, includes SSL, etc.

[mattarrr]

@gawtmeelk I occasionally hear people complaining that they cannot get all the files from Astraweb. But hey, if they work for you then awesome! There are lots of providers, this is just the one I use. I'm sure the set up would be the same as well.

I've just registered on NZBMatrix and for some reason the search results don't seem to be showing up anywhere near as many results as other free nzb search websites.

I love astraweb! I switched from giganews and can't be happier! Cheap and awesome. :)
