when I know for a fact that it does and that newzbin is reporting files are on it, does that mean my newgroup provider (ntl) has banned the group?

I would say giganews and look at the price yourself.

Just use newzbin, its about £0.25 per week and its easier than super search 
. Search, click the results, click get files (one single easy nzb file), download.

Content- much much much more. Most things are posted on newsgroups before p2p. Speed? You'll max out your connection and not have to upload at all. Which makes it safer too.ToxicBug wrote:How does this compare to bittorrent speed and content wise?

Back to your original question. News servers propogate to other news servers. Some server will not accept some newsgroups, while others take some time to get the new news groups in. So Bob on Verizon in NY will get one group Abbu in africa will notphantasmagoria wrote:when I know for a fact that it does and that newzbin is reporting files are on it, does that mean my newgroup provider (ntl) has banned the group?
