Tell me about Newsgroups

I'll admit that the one corner of Al Gore's WWW that I know the least about are Newsgroups. I have read countless comments that the best place to find 'anything' you're looking is in newsgroups.

 

What are some good ones? Are they free? Are they psuedo-safe with some good Firewalls in place on your PC?

 

Give me some info.

Vince seriously... Newsgroups today are ridiculously easy.

 

Step 1: Download your favorite client. I Love newsleecher personally. (get something that supports nbz's

 

Step 2: Downlaod quickpar or equivolent & winrar or equivolent

 

Step 3: I highly recommend getting a paid usenet service. I like usenetservers.com

 

Step 3: Get an account on http://www.newzbin.com.

 

 

After this, its pretty much like www warez :)

 

Go to newzbin, find what you want, click link, it opens and downloads. You par it (verifies file integrity and repairs if it has enough parts) then unzip/ rar it and you have your files.

 

I'd be happy to give you more detail if you like and/or provide assistance in setting this stuff up.
