Can someone please tell me how I can access Newsgroups?

It's been so long I'm not sure where to begin now.

Thanks

You need to get a subscription. There's a million out there, I use Giganews, the retention is pretty good and it does what I need.

Giganews also has the handy VyprVpn if you like that kind of thing. My set up is a combination of that, SABNZB as a client and then I look for nzb files through nzbclub for my DRM free music or public domain journals etc. I'm assuming of course that you want more than to read discussion posts.

Thanks.

Obviously it's for public domain journals and research for clients.

Benny, I'll try your setup but have to say I understand about 13% of your post lol.

edit: It's asking about member referral. Do you want to PM me your member username in case they want to send you a cuddly toy or something to say thanks.
