Err..Newsgroups

Basically I tried to start using a newsgroups a while back but found it a bit confusing, so just a few qs

1. Whats the best newsgroup client?

2. Is there a good site to find nzb files direct, instead of updating the list every time?

ah well thanks for your time, and putting up with a noob

sin

the best client is a either newsbin pro or newsleecher depending on what you want. i have newsleecher at the moment and it does the job.

i would just download headers much better than using a nzb site as the site doesnt always put up nzbs of posts. but if you must try newzbin.com .

been using forte agent for a few years now, never had a reason to switch...

i use grabit....its free and even has a search feature built in. Im probably just a beginner compared to some of the other people on here though so I couldnt tell u what is best. Ill definately recommend slyk's guide...it can be pretty helpful if youre just starting out.

I personally use Newsleecher... tried Grabit and it was nice as well. Now that newsleecher has matured a bit... it rocks IMHO.
