Tips The Newsgroups Quick Start GuideTo enjoy everything the newsgroups have to offer, you need three things, 1) a good newsgroup server, 2) a newsgroup reader, and 3) access to an indexing site. Many newsreaders are free, however, access to newsgroup servers cost about $15-$25 a month. A good indexing site will cost a dollar or so a month. Most agree, however, the rather minimal investment yields tremendous rewards. Step 1 Purchase a newsgroup server account. Without purchasing a server account first, your newsgroup ventures will end before they begin. The news server is where all the information you want is located. For this purpose, Slyck recommends: 1. Astraweb2. EasyNews3. Giganews4. NewsHosting5. UseNetServer6. NewsDemon
Step 2Download a free news reader. Setting up news readers back in the day was prohibitive, however, modern readers are tailor made for information acquisition. Worried about assembling RAR achieves and par files? Don't be. Slyck's recommended news readers take virtually all the hassle out of downloading from the newsgroups:1. alt.binz2. GrabitStep 3Access an indexing site. Ok, so you've purchased your Astraweb account, downloaded Altbinz, and now you're ready to start downloading. But newsgroup readers aren't P2P clients, and you'll need an independent indexing source to find the files you want. Basically, an indexing site is like Google. You conduct your search, and the site provides you with the location of the file. The indexing site communicates with the newsreader, and before long you'll be downloading. There's only a marginal cost involved for this service.Premium Indexing Sites1. Newzbin - Costs about $2 for 6 weeks. Bar-none the best indexing site around, however, is now a private site. If you can find someone with an invite, jump on the opportunity.Free Indexing Sites2. alt.binaries.nl - Free, complete, and no registration needed.3. NZBMatrix.com - Free and very complete. Requires registration for full features.4. Merlins-portal.net - Free and very complete. Requires registration for full features.5. Nzbsrus.com - Free and complete.
