I'm sorry, I thought most people knew how to use newsgroups. I didn't
realize a lot of people just use email and browse. Anyway here goes the
quick and dirty on newsgroups.

1. Get a news server. If you have an ISP, chances are they have a news
server, or will give you access to one. Even AOL has newsgroups

2. Get a news reader. Hate to say it, but Outlook is not a good news reader.
It's the worst in my opinion. Go to www.forteinc.com and get Agent. It's the
best there is for the PC.

3. Given that you have the above, the rest is easy. Run Agent, plug in the
proper info, and wait for Agent to download all the newsgroups.

5. Get the headers or messages for the newsgroup
alt.binaries.sounds.mp3.indie, and hope your news server hasn't deleted the
songs yet.

6. Select the songs you want by highlighting them and clicking 'A', and they
will start to download. Depending on your connection, the speed of your news
server, and the weather outside, this may take a long time or a short time.

7. Enjoy your new songs.

That's it in a nutshell, let me know if you need more.
