    Is Newsbin the only search site for newsgroups? I keep looking for stuff, and cant find it!

    Or are newsgroups only good for new stuff?

    it saves you doing incremental updates which takes time and bandwidth from your isp and news group download limit! so well worth the money

    Yep Newzbin.com is pretty much the best indexing site out there really. as far as indexing stuff well thats down to the editors who see the stuff on the groups and post it on newzbin.com.

    There is stuff on the groups that is not on newzbin.com!

    Grabbit (one newsreader) does have a nice feature of being able to search the news groups themselfs for what you are looking for.

    but this can be hap hazard if the guy posting the article on the group uses abrievations.

    Have to say that alot of the stuff I have looked for hasnt been on the newgroups lark… and has been on bit torrent… seems you can only get really new stuff or random old stuff…
