Here I show you how to set up Usenet on your computer to access newsgroups. You need an NNTP from your ISP to access the groups. You also need Outlook Express (Windows Mail) to set it up.

Nice introduction to usenet. However I would not recommend OE for binaries it cannot decode Yenc. OE for text is great.

Usenet is just interesting overall. Abandonware and old tech is so cool just to explore.

Ten years before the Web. Not ten years before the Internet.

In this video you show what looks like a pile of random rar compressed bianary files. Well, it's been three years since this has been posted. Have you figured out yet that these files are what most of us are looking for and that NZB files make Usenet a really kick-ass tool for finding nearly anything you want?

nice video. So usenet is just like IRC. That lets you talk to other users and download files and all? (I know how to download files from IRC but i have never tried Usenets)
