Xbins is a IRC channel. IRC and newsgroups work a little differently. Basically, in order to have good access to newsgroups, you need to have a newsserver. I remember one is called "Easyserver." These require a monthly fee for a certain amount of bandwidth for your downloading purposes. For instance, they may charge you $9.99 for 10 GB or 30 days, whichever one comes first. Obviously the more money you pay, the more bandwidth you get. Next, you need a newsgroup program, like Newsshark. Some are free for downloading or trial. Newsgroups are probably one of the best ways of downloading, but as stated, you'll have to pay.

Usenetserver.com is also a good outfit. Great retention and completion on there. They also have a "try it out" deal where you can get unlimited access for three days for only $3. If you decide to join it's like $15/month with unlimited bandwidth.
