how the hell are you even supposed to use newsgroups? i mean...wtf?
Get Grabit, or any other newsgroup reader.
Install it
run it, it will ask you for your newsgroup server, then your login and password.
After that you should be in the actual running program
Look for a place to update groups. Update.
Then usually there will be a blank that you type in the newsgroup you want. Now I have absolutly no clue what reason you might need to use these newsgroups, but I hear from people who use newsgroups that all the good ones start with, alt.binaries.fillintheblank. Here is an example, alt.binaries.cd.images, I have no clue if this is actually a functioning newgroup I just pulled it out my ass just for this example.
After that you want to get all the headers from the newsgroup, their should be a button that will do that for you.
You will select all the post by highlighting them them then click on a button that either says grabit, or download.
FINISHED
