![]() ![]() This is not an issue if say, I want to download 4 different things from 4 different groups, but it's quite annoying if i'm trying to get a dvd image and I don't want to script 4 seperate sessions to each download every fourth file. other tools like ubh, aub, and brag are also incredibly useful.ĭo you know of any usenet reader/binary harvester that allows for multiple concurrent connections? my usenet provider allows downloads at 2mb/sec but individual connections are limited to 500k (4 connections). That said, nget is one tool that has no equivalent that I know of under windows. this process takes about 10 seconds for a slow typist as opposed to several minutes to read through and select all the same relevant headers in pan, not to mention that you still might have to manually recover them with par2. With a simple command, ie: 'nget -g -r debian' you can automatically download and recover via par/2 if necessary all posts and binaries from a.b.fs.l with the word 'debian' in the subject or filename. Pan is inefficient and is more prone to leading people to believe that usenet tools under linux are crufty and cumbersome, especially if they are used to something like newsbin. My favorite is Pan, so I'm going to install Pan in this example.įirst we have to get root privilages and than we install Pan. There are loads of newsreaders availible, use google to find a list of newsreaders. A 17-year-old is being backed for telling her 14-year-old sister that while the younger girl gets to do whatever she wants, shes been shut out from having her own life by her parents demands. When we want to read or download posts from a news server, we need a newsreader. I assume you have a working installation of GNU/Linux (Debian) and you are able to burn CD's or DVD's. Alternative Downloads: Standalone Installer (New default installer with next release) Newshosting for macOS macOS versions 10.12 to 12 are supported (Intel and Apple Silicon). I'm going to describe the process step by step, from the installation (The debian way) of the needed applications to the burning of the CD or DVD. Newshosting Version 3.2.4 Newshosting for Windows Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, 8, 10 and Windows 11. One of those things a lot of people think is impossible on linux, is downloading files from newsgroups and extract them with rar and, when it's needed repair the files with par (par2). ![]() I always tell them "just when it goes a little different doesn't mean it is not possible!" The main reason why people don't get into GNU/Linux and especially Debian is the think they can't do the same as on there MS-W*****s environment.
