Hi, Im new to this. I have read a lot of people saying newsgroups are the best though. Can anyone tell me what I have to do? I basically don't know anything about newsgroups. What software do I need? Any info would be hugely appreciated.

You have to pay for any good news server. Some ISPs offer free ones that are ok, but none will ever compare to a good pay server.

Forget Newsgroups...

www.Itchycats.com all the way. It still downloads from newsgroups, but is INCREDIBLY more simple.

Of course! I think I was the 1st one to share it here several years after it was first shared with me. What's funny is I was one of the old timers using newsgroups/usenet as the internet primary form before people were using web browsers, but didn't use newsgroups for downloading big binaries until about 6 years ago.

Yeah I remember those days of commodore 64 with a 110 baud modem. Hell I ran a BBS from back then all the way to 2004 with Telnet connections. ;-)

L.O.R.D. is still the shit

Man I remember the good old days of hacking with a C64 and a 110 baud modem. Running BBS's with Wildcat software from 90-2004.

L.O.R.D. is still the best game ever made ;)
