Legit Movies and Shows?

[plonialmoni]

I have been on Usenet a few weeks now and I have yet to download
a single movie that was playable. Most of them have come with a
file named if you get an error which directs you to a folder
called codecs containing a setup.exe which to me appears to be
obvious malware. I thought that Usenet enthuists boast of there
being no viruses here?

Anyways my question is, where do I find the legitimate BNZ's for
movies and T.V. shows? Am I also going to have to pay for some
BNZ club or whatever? Just searching on binsearch.info certainly
is not the way.

You seem to be talking about 'binary newsgroups', which are completely
different from the text-only newsgroups such as this one. Text-only
messages naturally can't carry malware - but binary messages certainly
can.

I don't know if any commercial movie or music has ever been
'legitimately' available from a binary newsgroup. I'm sure there is
'legitimate' content available though, uploaded by the copyright
holders.

This might be a good place to start

USENET in its original conception was ASCII text only, and
should IMO have stayed that way*

I'm not up on video downloading sites. I know thare are such
