The Sancho And Juicehead666 Random Chat Thread!

It's a real shame someone couldn't carry it on in his memory considering its popularity.

 

Sounds like it was pretty intimidating back then.

 

Yes and no. If you lurked you were fine. You could grab tons of images!

 

giganews is a service that allows a webbrowser to access their news server. Usenet is technically free. Unfortunately, getting access to a news server usually isnt

And yes, if it exists, it's on a newsgroup somewhere. even though it's a nono, I use to frequent a trac* lord* news group that regularly had every single one of her movies, photoshoots etc, long after the world ban on her. I hit it every now and again if I'm on although all things pass.

 

I'm going back and forth with giganews right now. Sent them screenshots, etc. I wish they'd just reset my acct. and get it over with.

 

That's what I did here for a while.

 

I wonder if her images are still being posted, and in which group?

 

Me too, but since I dont speak German, I came to phun instead.

Are you on tlfan.to? It's what became of Celebworld... i think I can give you an invite, but almost nothing happens there any more.

 

I grabbed some pics here at first, but scribe had me chatting in here within a week or two.

 

So when you download a file from one of these Usenet type sites, you're downloading from their servers right? Presumably getting really quick speeds.

 

I haven't been there. So many places, so little time.

 

Pretty quick. If you go to giganews.com you'll get the idea, I think.

 

I attempted a few posts in general which sank faster than the Titanic, but started posting regularly when the sig threads appeared.

 

Since i never went through an http server to get to a news server i cant say. I'm sure PM can though.

Yep, if you connected directly to the news server you got as fast a connection as was technically possible. When i was heavy into posting and downloading movies for smr back in 99-01 i was averaging about a terabyte a month in transfers on a megabit connection :biggrin:

 

Not totally true Cylnz, over here every internetprovider has his own newsgroups u can use if your paying for there internet. The only problem with free newsgroups is that u don't have a really long retention. The payserver i use for example has a retention of 400 days, and if i would use my free newsgroups i only have a retentin of about 5 days....

 

Sort of. I dunno if I could sign up to that being from UK. I didn't really check thoroughly though.

 

I just use a download manager to get maximum speeds. According to my ISP the maximum possible speed for my area is 9mb, and that's pretty much what I get with IDM.

 

Yep, the news service is included in your isp bill. At least it always was on roadrunner and the dial ups I had before that. But you were just paying for access to your isps server. There isnt an actual charge for usenet by any usenet entity, because there isnt one. But I get your point.

Giganews is a service that allows webusers to access their news servers for a fee. i think it's like $15 or something. (Dont know, never used them myself)

 

but huh is there a maximum of download for that giganews ?

 

Well for one thing i know holland is pretty advanced in ISP and all that kind of stuff, we got load of newsgroups payservers and they don't cost jack shit. And i can bet with everyone that i pay less for the fastest internet speed
