Got a question on this:
1. I've been using Newsbin for a while, it automatically suck everything posted to a newsgroup. But how can I ensure I don't waste time downloading stuff that I don't need/want? I.e. doramas dubbed in Thai and subbed in Norwegian, say?
2. Seems like my ISP only keeps a few days of Usenet. For doramas this could be fatal as I'll end up with episodes 1-12 but missing 8... Is the only solution to subscribe to a commercial server? Or just go back to BT?

What it means is that if you are downloading 2 files and then
you tried to retrieve headers, it becomes 3. So retrieve header
function dies (as in Server Connection failed. 2 connections/node)
How about commercial servers?
ex (Copy and paste from one of commercial servers' FAQ)
3. How many concurrent connections am I allowed?
Newshosting allows 8 connection from the same IP on our standard accounts. The unlimited accounts are limited to 4 connections from the same IP. |

I haven't used Newsbin, but if it allows you to setup download filters, then you should be set. There's a freeware
program Binary News Reaper that has download filters capability. You can filter for subject title, author name,
generic words like "rar' or whatever. BNR also can refresh the headers at any time interval you like and
automatically perform the download filters and download what you specified.
Of course with your ISP news, you must leave your computer on and run BNR 24/7, setup refresh interval like
every 4 to 6 hours in order to catch everything .

As for filtering headers you can fill the "find" bar on the top to filter the headers while they are downloading but I don't think (or am not aware) of a way you can ONLY download filtered headers. I really don't see the big problem anyway. Headers are very small and they hardly take any space. |
Actually, seneschal is sort-of correct on the "downloading everything" statement. He has the "Automatic Download" (ctrl-T) feature enabled. With it enabled, it'll start downloading everything off all the newsgroups he has listed and checked off. This is probably his preference, so we have to consider that. I know of several other people who do the same thing, so this technique isn't that unusual.
Along that line, you can filter out certain types of dramas based on the content of the subject header, the name of the poster, among other parameters. For example, in my Newsbin Pro configuration, I filter out all occurances of "C-Sub" so that I don't have to look at them. Other than Chinese and English subs, I haven't seen any Japanese dramas posted with subs in any other language in quite awhile, so for now you should be safe. Most of the posters are quite good about keeping their subject headers consistent for filtering purposes. ap, for example, uses the string "[e-sub]" on anything he posts that include English subtitles. Consistency on the subject headers make filtering much easier.

You're right, that's what I meant.
When you first get Newsbin the default is to automatically download all the files. The reason for that is so you can run it on autopilot, say while you're sleeping.
I'm sure the filter can be programmed but I guess it's still not 100%. The main point is not getting all parts and episodes of a 300-700 MB file. That could be a pain. I've decided to stick to BT for now.

I think you mean ABMJR - alt.binaries.multimedia.japanese.repost
Yes, ABMJR is a common newsgroup and will be carried by most commercial news providers. I would think that SBC should also
carry this group. Try doing a refresh or redownload of the newsgroups. Also sort the newsgroup names alphabetically. There's been
a few groups I thought I didn't have until I did an alphabetical sort and then I found my so-called missing groups.
Just so you know, I am not on SBC, so I can't verify that they carry ABMJR or not.

If your usenet service doesn't carry a newsgroup you want, like alt.binaries.multimedia.japanese, a request via email or telephone will usually result in getting it added.
Retention will only start at that point. But at least you'll have access to it.

Unless there is a "dot-d" newsgroup associated with the "binaries" newsgroup, both binaries and discussions (announcements on what will be uploaded, re-upload requests, etc.) are acceptable in the same newsgroup.
For example:
alt.binaries.multimedia.chinese
would be a binaries newsgroup. If there was a discussion newsgroup associated with it, it would be:
alt.binaries.multimedia.chinese.d
Usually, even the crappiest of news services will carry the dot-d newgroups.
As for what is allowed in a certain newsgroup... Best thing to do is to subscribe to a.b.m.c and a.b.m.c.d (if it exists), and then seek out and read the FAQ documents. I don't subscribe to a.b.m.c, so I don't know if a FAQ even exists. If there are no FAQs to be found, just read the existing posts to get a feel of what is being accepted as proper conduct on the newsgroup.
