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:
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 -
The poster is always, as far as I can tell NzbIndexder@ followed by the
name of the group they're posted in. For example:
NzbIndexer@alt.binaries.teevee
Then I'll find posts with names like this: Vv0smCatI4I08qoLd815.part170.rar
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.
Does anyone know how to use these files?
Thanks
Derek
