Hummm. I don't really like free news group services. They have bad
retention and completion. I think I'd just go easynews or giganews
if I were you. Give'r on a free trial and see if they do what you
need.
Otherwise I'd just call up your isp and get their news server address.

Oh my goodness! Where can I buy my I love Panic software t-

powergrab and I loved those utilities for years. I am so
impressed. I feel like a kid back on my first dsl!
It's threading things and nicely sorting things down a la folders
and oh It's insane. I was trying to get enormous cues from the
easy news download manager and wasting piles of credit on broken
downloads.
Nice one. I can't wait to buy it.

Is there an accessible program available to download usenet
messages? Everything travels in messages. Earlier the two big
formats were uuencode and mime. Later yenc was added. For
downloading and building binary files, you need at first an
accessible message reader; after that conversion tools, and
finally something like brik to verify file integrity before you
try anything with the files. I've read gnus can do this on the
mac http:/'/www.gnus.org/ and gnus may even be able to do some
or all of its own decoding and integrity checking by now. For
gnus, you need emacs as a prerequisite and since emacs talks
there shouldn't be any problem with gnus either. That's one
mail and news reader I've not yet managed to configure
successfully. Interestingly, it's the mail side of the
configuration that is likely going to be a bear but the news
side isn't too complicated. hth.
