Set download folder Newsleecher
It can be useful to customize the Download folder in Newsleecher. For example, if you have a second hard drive to store files. Because you can get problems if your standard C drive is almost full in Windows.
Furthermore, the default settings are quite well set in Newsleecher.
Files are automatically extracted and repaired. It is important that you always have the latest version of Newsleecher installed. Because new techniques are regularly released to extract files.
Download with NewsLeecher
There are several ways to download with Newsleecher. I will discuss these methods below.
Option 1 Search NZB files on various sites
All you need to do now is download an NZB file. You can find these NZB files, for example, on an NZB search engine. Like Nzbindex.nl or Binsearch. For an overview see also Usenet sites.
Option 2 Find NZb files with Newsleecher
You can also use the Newsleecher Super Search. For more information see the SuperSearh Newsleecher tutorial. However, it also has limitations if you use the free version of Newsleecher.
Option 3 Manually search newsgroups
For users who prefer to browse newsgroups manually, Newsleecher offers the ability to download and view newsgroups. Be aware that this can be very labor intensive. It takes a lot of time and the question is whether you can find everything to complete your download.
Steps:
- Add newsgroups via the “Newsgroups” tab.
- Download the headers of a group you are interested in.
- Search the headers to find specific files.
- Select the files you want and start downloading.
