pmh Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 I was thinking that alot of people don't know how to use newsgroups (me) and was wondering if someone could give a step by step, or point me to a tutorial. I already "GOOGELED IT" so I am looking for more help. Oh yes i don't know if this has anything to do with it but my isp is charter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delsphynx Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 What are you looking for specifically? How to set up newsreaders in general to read? How to read your ISP's newsgroups (as in what server they are, how you log in, etc.)? How to download files from newsgroups? What newsreaders are there? I'm just asking because each one of those things is very different in terms of the information, and I find it unlikely that 1 guide will explain it all... If you can help to narrow the information you are wanting, you might be able to get some more help... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 sorry i would like to know A.) a free server to connect to, and B.) how to download stuff from it Your cable/dsl or ISP should have their own newsgroups to setup, you should have access to it, contact your ISP. http://www.shemes.com/grabit (Multipart Newsreader) also there is Forte Agent.

Delsphynx Posted September 3, 2003 Share Posted September 3, 2003 You will definitely want to use your ISP's. With free newsservers often you get what you pay for - which isn't much of anything. You will have to get on your ISP's homepage and do a search for their settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
