Default question about newsgroups

question for the guys who use newsgroups,

i normally use torrents but after reading what you guys put on the lost thread i thought id give newsgroups a try and i do seem to get far better speed on there, only problem i have is finding what i want.

ive searched on newsbiz and found what group has the file but when i download the headers on my program there are like 8 million headers so my computer just gives up, is there anyway of just downloading the headers you need? i know it gives post numbers on newsbiz?

any help much appreciated as im a total novice to newsgroupd but they definatley seem the way forward.

cheers les?

You have to pay (25p/week) to be able to download the nzb's from newzbin which make it a hell of a lot easier than having to look thru thousands of headers
