Grabit Downloading Issues
« on: 30 October 2009, 14:22:56 »
So Im new to the program and I downloaded it as it was reccomended my a friend at work. But its not really working. It wont let me download anything, I've tried using NZB files as well as downloading headers and files by using a tutorial but it doesnt work. When using the NZB files the download starts and stays active for about two seconds before I get a message down the bottom of the screen saying 'alt.binaries.dc does not exist on this server' so thats my problem and I dont even know what that means let alone how to fix it. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Have you added a newsserver to download from?

If you have, the message means that the servers does not carry the group that Grabit needs to download from.

You will have to chechk with the server provider. If you using a server from your local ISP changes are the only offer a very limited newserver. In that case you will need to subscribe to a premium newsserver provider to be able to download from most groups.
