Tonight I'm messing with a usenet reader and found something I've
never seen before. There are posts each with a subject like this.
<meta name="qrichtext" content="1">
Usenet Index Post 1372363474_2 These are text files. Open one and
you'll see something like this:<br>
<br>
Vv0smCatI4I08qoLd815 - Vv0smCatI4I08qoLd815.par2 yEnc
(1/1)%122935*Vv0smCatI4I08qoLd815 - Vv0smCatI4I08qoLd815.part001.rar
yEnc (1/622)%217941490*Vv0smCatI4I08qoLd815 -
Vv0smCatI4I08qoLd815.part002.rar yEnc
(1/622)%217922437*Vv0smCatI4I08qoLd815 -
Vv0smCatI4I08qoLd815.part003.rar yEnc
(1/622)%217938677*Vv0smCatI4I08qoLd815 - <br>
<br>
The poster is always, as far as I can tell NzbIndexder@ followed by
the name of the group they're posted in. For example:
<a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:NzbIndexer@alt.binaries.teevee">NzbIndexer@alt.binaries.teevee</a><br>
<br>
Then I'll find posts with names like this:
Vv0smCatI4I08qoLd815.part170.rar<br>
<br>
I've seen people here give me tips on usenet harvesting so I'll ask
if any of you how I can use these usenet index posts? I've read
that some usenet indexing sites have been forced to shut down. I'm
guessing these files are an attempt to get around the people who are
trying to shut down the usenet indexing sites. The names of the rar
files give no clue as to what's in them. If you don't know ahead of
time what's in these files the only way to find out is to download
one, which may be several GB in size.<br>
<br>
Does anyone know how to use these files?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
Derek<br>
