Hello,

This is my first attempt at connecting to usenet (the usenet?).
Before I go pro, I'd like to test the waters with free options.

- I've downloaded and installed alt.binz (0.25)
- My ISP has a newsgroup server so I will use that or if you can recommend a free one for to try

Questions:

1. Which software/website allows me to search for available messages?

2. Which software allows me to connect to the server and download the messages?

3. Which software allows me to convert the messages into something useful?

A step by step guide would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Ill save you some pain, anything free with usenet and via ur isp is probably pretty poor, if your looking for what I think you will be looking for seeing as your on nforce forums..

Most isp's restrict what groups and shit you can look at etc etc..

Id go paid usenet access from a good provider right off the bat.. There is nothing to test, usenet works, it gets you what you want and fast..

Enjoy..

binsearch.info is a free search engine for nzb files... as far as what you need to load the nzb files in, try either http://www.newsbin.com/ or http://www.shemes.com/

http://www.binverse.com/ has a free trial although you need a CC to start it.
