Hello. I have filled out the setup. When I have to enter a server, I have to add an address and a code. As address I have filled out again the name of the server, news.astraweb.com ,my server does not ask for a code.
What do I do now to search for a tv serie? Regards Fred

Use one of the search engines - it's just like Googling.  For example, click on the Newzleech tab, enter e.g. "lost s03e22" in the search box, set min/max days, filesize, etc, click Search.  When you receive results, right-click on the ones you want to dl and choose 'Add to Queue', select your options and click OK.  

Then go to the Queue tab, do anything else you want there, then click the Connect button on the main toolbar, downloading from your server should now begin.  This is when you'll find out whether you've set up your server properly.  Watch the download progress indicator, and also watch the PAR2 tab to see if your files are being checked and/or repaired and/or unrared OK.  When it's 100%, you're done. :)

Hello. I have downloaded some files, but I have the impression that they are not complete. Also, they are avi files, the download speed is around 300kb while I'm used to 800kb. What now? Regards Fred

Do you have a specific question?  If yes, please provide as much information as possible: your server setup, news provider, any error messages in the log, etc.
