Anybody care to write the complete-effing-idiot's guide to UseNet?
« on: October 11, 2006, 07:01:15 AM »
Alright, I was diddling around the a few hours ago and ran in alot of references to UseNet, got me thinkin... I'm no internet einstein, and so I was wondering if someone would explain to me, in small words, how to access the files referenced towards in this link: http://www.meganova.org/group/4627.html and put them, as it were, on to my machine? I tried using a program called Xnews, but couldn't figure it out. Also, some other sites have been of little news.
