Usenet Guide - Getting Started With Usenet by James Brown

n order to fully enjoy your usenet experience there is a few things you need. 1. A good news provider 2. A good newsreader 3. a good NZB indexing service (we recommend NzbNation's premium service, it is very well worth the 50 cents a week... you can signup here) Anyways there are a few usenet servers people favor. If you can't decide, ask around on the forum and see what every is using. But for right now just google 'usenet service' and you should see tons of possible servers.
Our next step is getting a news reading and configuring it to properly work with our news provider we just signed up with. There will normally be a few things that they ask for, a username, password, and address of the news server you are trying to connect to. Your news provider should have sent you this information, or tell you where you can find this information. Simply fill in the requested fields and you are ready to begin downloading
The final step is to make sure you aren't wasting hours of your time, and money (yes those header files count). In order to do this, go ahead and browse around all the NZB files NzbNation the Nzb Index has, and then simply download it and then open it with your newly configured news reader and you should be good to go!
