Hello,
Can please someone put detailed steps on how to get this game.. I have done everything you mention here, but you need to pay for these newsgroups. Can someone please give concrete step by step approach on getting this game...
Please...
Hey all, big newsgroup guy here and what Spurs21Cowboys22 said is what I would have said had I seen this earlier, if you're big into P2P I would highly reccomend newsgroups because
1) No uploading required, if you upload something it's because you wanted to
2) You're downloading at your ISP's speed, not the upload speed of someone else
3) The connection is always on (Unless your newshost is down, if you use newshosting it's rare). Bittorrent is also always on as well
4) Once the file is uploaded, it's there. Only thing blocking you would be retention (Newshosting is 25 days meaning if someone uploaded it in the past 25 days it's there for you to download).
I do use newshosting and it runs me $14.95 a month, worth every penny, if you need an example of what it can do, check out
this link as well as
this and
this link.
Thanks to Newsgroups I can catch up on shows I've missed as well as move them to my laptop and have them play with a picture close to HD quality. If you're into mp3s, apps, etc. it's all out there.
The Rar files, use WinRar to combine them (It's similar to WinZip),
http://www.winrar.com, just click on the first file (Usually .rar1) then when the box opens extract and it'll take care of it from there), if it's .001, .002 then I reccomend HJ-Split...it's an older file and I'm sure there are newer ones but I've never had a problem with hj-split and since it's free, why mess with a good thing.
Par2 files are what Thunder said - made to repair rar files. I'd download them as well as rar files.
I'm the process of creating a how-to for newsgroups, in the meantime if you're curious checkout
audiofind to see what's available out there.
Hope this helps.....
