Ive never used them, and dont know much about them.

Please can anyone tell me how they work, and which is the best (i understand there are a few)

**please no flaming.....thats my job

Its pretty simple. And its 100x better than torrent.

Things to dll;

Alt binz
Winrar
Quickpar

Get a provider, fill in your details @ Alt Binz and enjoy full speed dll. Without the need of ''seeders'' Just look at retention + prize, the higher retention + the lower the prize = the better. :P

you know you have to pay for it don't you.

i use a dutch one, only 7,50 euro a month, and you can share account with another person.

speed is super

for a downloader i would say newsleecher, but grabit is free.

Things you will need:

SABnzbd <--- Usenet Client.
Premium Usenet provider, that's if you want decent speeds, you can get free ones at a lower speed/retention.
A NZB hosting site, a NZB is a little file that holds all the info of where the files are located.

if i'm correct you can have a 2 day trial here,and as far as i know, no strings attached.

Take a test-drive. You can try our services for 2 days. The trial is unrestricted and free of charge. No obligations whatsoever. Experience our full Usenet service and get yourself convinced.

some even say that if you create a new email adress, you can create another account and trial again.

sabnzb is the boss and freeware, check it out, also watch out for pas protected files..yeah they do popup more often now a days...pause downl for awhile..check rar file after awhile ur trained in that area and know wich on to download .... user "teevee">> always pick the first one/user teevee "hickhead" etc..etc..
