These usenet index posts and the files they point to are something
new. Any I've seen only go back a few weeks. Normally a usenet
post would have a subject that gave some clue as to what is in that
post.<br>

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> 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.
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 moz-do-not-send="true"
href="mailto:NzbIndexer@alt.binaries.teevee"
target="_blank">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>
